Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Tuesday, that feels like a Monday, and it feels like fall,
- 0:04Speaker 1: it feels like football season. The Huddle, Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin, Drew, Billy,
- 0:07Speaker 1: and Armin bringing it to you after a glorious, relaxing
- 0:11Speaker 1: weekend that kind of set the stage for what's to come.
- 0:15Speaker 1: The Badgers are off and running. Packers play on Sunday
- 0:18Speaker 1: at U.S.
- 0:19Speaker 2: Bank Stadium. Yes.
- 0:20Speaker 1: Got professional tackle football on Wednesday and Thursday. Thursday will
- 0:25Speaker 1: be that 10 a.m. kickoff in Melbourne.
- 0:28Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
- 0:29Speaker 1: That will be the test case of all jet lag
- 0:31Speaker 1: test cases because the Rams are leaving like today, right?
- 0:35Speaker 4: They're leaving later today.
- 0:37Speaker 2: The 49ers have been there for a week?
- 0:39Speaker 5: I was going to say like five or six days. Yeah,
- 0:40Speaker 5: they'll have been there for a full week by the
- 0:42Speaker 5: time the Rams get there. Who's going to be better acclimated?
- 0:44Speaker 6: Well, Drew, that was one of your favorite topics du
- 0:47Speaker 6: jour is getting annoyed at the conversations on ESPN. We've
- 0:51Speaker 6: been talking about that. And they were debating that. Whose
- 0:54Speaker 6: itinerary will be better? Well, that's actually an interesting conversation.
- 0:57Speaker 5: Actually, the leads to the game that they're going.
- 1:01Speaker 6: To kick off with. Let's talk about it. Let's talk
- 1:03Speaker 6: about airlines. Let's talk about the aircraft. I mean, what's
- 1:07Speaker 6: one flying?
- 1:08Speaker 4: One's on a Boeing.
- 1:09Speaker 2: One's on an Airbus. That's the type of stuff we like, right, guys?
- 1:13Speaker 2: That's the type of stuff.
- 1:14Speaker 4: But you're right.
- 1:14Speaker 2: That would be good.
- 1:15Speaker 6: And it will be a test case because they were
- 1:16Speaker 6: debating that. So that'll be a fun one coming up
- 1:18Speaker 6: Thursday to open the season.
- 1:20Speaker 1: We're taking game balls and kicks and buying or selling.
- 1:23Speaker 1: I guess we can combine this one. You're buying or
- 1:25Speaker 1: selling that the decision to give Michigan another play was
- 1:29Speaker 1: proper and just.
- 1:31Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
- 1:32Speaker 5: Let's get into that, right? Let's get into that. I
- 1:35Speaker 5: would sell that one. I am going to buy, however,
- 1:39Speaker 5: a large lakefront property. If I'm the clock operator on
- 1:43Speaker 5: the money that the big 10 potentially gave me to
- 1:46Speaker 5: be true that he was Connor stallions, his uncle. Oh wait.
- 1:48Speaker 2: Oh my God.
- 1:49Speaker 4: He was reading the manifesto drew.
- 1:52Speaker 2: He was reading. He was, they had to have been
- 1:53Speaker 2: reading Connor stallions run.
- 1:55Speaker 5: Now there's a lot of different ways to go through this.
- 1:57Speaker 5: There's a lot of different frustrations with it. College football
- 2:00Speaker 5: has a lot of problems. The replay issue has been
- 2:04Speaker 5: one for a long, long period of time. and now
- 2:07Speaker 5: only gets re-emphasized when you get a situation like this
- 2:10Speaker 5: where we get a Canva Photoshop after the.
- 2:13Speaker 2: Game two hours later of, no, well, actually. You guys
- 2:17Speaker 2: were looking at the wrong clock.
- 2:18Speaker 4: Here's the problem.
- 2:19Speaker 2: You guys are looking at the clock. We had a
- 2:20Speaker 2: special clock.
- 2:21Speaker 5: You guys are looking at the clock that, like, I
- 2:23Speaker 5: don't know, maybe the players on the field are looking at.
- 2:25Speaker 2: Right?
- 2:25Speaker 5: Like, you guys are looking at this weird clock that
- 2:27Speaker 5: everybody's looked at for 100 years. We got a super
- 2:30Speaker 5: special secret clock.
- 2:31Speaker 2: Different clock.
- 2:32Speaker 4: That, where is it? We don't know. You don't know.
- 2:34Speaker 4: We only know.
- 2:35Speaker 5: You guys will learn about it maybe at some certain
- 2:37Speaker 5: important time, but this one goes down to the nanosecond,
- 2:40Speaker 5: and that one had. 1 on the clock. That means
- 2:43Speaker 5: there's a full second. That means that we get to
- 2:44Speaker 5: run one more mulligan. Listen, Drew, I say it a
- 2:47Speaker 5: lot of times. I'm a really, really good second-shot golfer.
- 2:50Speaker 5: Michigan just needed a breakfast ball on the Hail Mary.
- 2:53Speaker 1: I mean, it's still, they should have, they're still 90%
- 2:56Speaker 1: to not complete.
- 2:57Speaker 2: They should have lost anyway.
- 2:58Speaker 5: But one that when they throw that second on the clock,
- 3:02Speaker 5: didn't every bit of your sports mind say.
- 3:05Speaker 7: Oh yeah, here.
- 3:06Speaker 2: Oh, this is about 50, 50 chance. Like Aaron in Detroit.
- 3:09Speaker 6: When I got the face, man, it's about a 50,
- 3:11Speaker 6: 50 chance. And it's one of those situations. Cause you
- 3:14Speaker 6: do think like, is Michigan really going to lose this game?
- 3:16Speaker 6: And they didn't like, that's the thing about it. You
- 3:18Speaker 6: think to yourself, wow. But, and I know Dave Portnoy's
- 3:21Speaker 6: out there like William Wallace fighting the mob, but the
- 3:23Speaker 6: reality is how can you trust Michigan anymore anyway?
- 3:26Speaker 2: Like with all the weirdness that's going on there, I'm sorry.
- 3:28Speaker 6: It's like, it is what it is, but, but Western
- 3:32Speaker 6: Michigan still could have stopped.
- 3:34Speaker 5: Him on a hill.
- 3:34Speaker 1: I mean, you couldn't have had a Feinbaum. was like
- 3:38Speaker 1: beside himself too. He's like, Oh yeah, the happiest guy
- 3:40Speaker 1: in the country, Greg Shiano. Cause this took the pressure
- 3:42Speaker 1: off of what he did. This is supposed to be
- 3:44Speaker 1: the best league. Look at this league. And it's like, okay,
- 3:47Speaker 1: let's talk in November.
- 3:49Speaker 5: Well, and that's where Armin, I didn't even see it
- 3:51Speaker 5: as much of a trusting Michigan thing. That is a
- 3:54Speaker 5: big 10 deal of, of replay reviews and things like that.
- 3:58Speaker 5: And like for this to be up to the conferences, uh,
- 4:01Speaker 5: you are going to be, littered with scrutiny of this.
- 4:05Speaker 5: And why can it, this was the conversation we had
- 4:08Speaker 5: on Sunday. Why is that not locked in with the NCAA?
- 4:11Speaker 5: Why is it not uniform around anything? I think the
- 4:13Speaker 5: NCAA is looking at a lot of different rules to
- 4:15Speaker 5: try to have uniform.
- 4:16Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 4:17Speaker 5: Right.
- 4:17Speaker 2: They don't have any kind of powerful governing body.
- 4:20Speaker 4: This is deep.
- 4:21Speaker 5: This is going to come down to the conferences until then.
- 4:24Speaker 5: And you're going to get weird situations like this when
- 4:27Speaker 5: there's going to be massive money involved. Now, do I
- 4:29Speaker 5: believe that somebody called somebody to say, make sure you
- 4:32Speaker 5: put the second on the clock? I don't know that
- 4:34Speaker 5: the Buffalo wild wings commercials are real, right? Like back
- 4:37Speaker 5: in the day when my man got under the hood
- 4:39Speaker 5: and said, Hey guys, What do you think we should
- 4:41Speaker 5: do here? We're not ready to go yet. Can you
- 4:43Speaker 5: send this thing into overtime? That's what it seemed like.
- 4:45Speaker 5: We need one extra play. But I just, you can't
- 4:49Speaker 5: let that be the way a game ends. And for
- 4:52Speaker 5: Lance Taylor and company walking off that field, first off,
- 4:54Speaker 5: that might be the most jacked head coach I've ever
- 4:56Speaker 5: seen in my entire life. That Western Michigan coach. He
- 5:00Speaker 5: was cut yoked as he's walking off. He throws up
- 5:03Speaker 5: the W walking onto the field celebrating. And once they
- 5:06Speaker 5: threw that thing up on the clock, you knew it
- 5:08Speaker 5: was wraps. Like you knew there was going to be
- 5:10Speaker 5: no way they were not going to be able to
- 5:12Speaker 5: complete that ball again. And there's a couple of arrowhead
- 5:14Speaker 5: Warhawks on that Western Michigan team. So I was pulling
- 5:16Speaker 5: big time for the Broncos too, man, on, for on
- 5:19Speaker 5: Saturday night.
- 5:20Speaker 4: And they got, absolutely hosed.
- 5:23Speaker 2: It just stinks. They should have won.
- 5:25Speaker 6: And I felt like they could have won and I
- 5:27Speaker 6: wish they would have won and they didn't Billy.
- 5:28Speaker 5: But the interesting thing will be, and this is the
- 5:31Speaker 5: buyer sell that I would have, you know, people want
- 5:34Speaker 5: it to go more into a uniform way of selecting
- 5:37Speaker 5: the playoff.
- 5:38Speaker 4: This is why are you buying or selling?
- 5:40Speaker 5: This is why you have a playoff committee and not
- 5:43Speaker 5: a step ladder approach for a BCS selection process for.
- 5:48Speaker 4: It to be online. Because if this was only computerized,
- 5:51Speaker 4: that would count as a win.
- 5:52Speaker 2: It's a win.
- 5:53Speaker 5: When it's human beings discussing it and lining up the
- 5:55Speaker 5: playoff format, say Michigan goes from the outhouse to the
- 6:00Speaker 5: penthouse and beats Oklahoma this week. and then all of
- 6:03Speaker 5: a sudden they're sitting there on the cut line of 11, 12,
- 6:07Speaker 5: or 13, Drew, and it's, well, they're 10-2. They're actually
- 6:12Speaker 5: 9-3 because they should have lost here to Western Michigan.
- 6:15Speaker 5: I wonder how that conversation will flare up if they
- 6:17Speaker 5: get there. But the way that looked like, and Bryce
- 6:20Speaker 5: Underwood being quarterback, it looks like they're going to be
- 6:22Speaker 5: battling for Wisconsin. Spot right there in the 7-5, 6-6 category.
- 6:26Speaker 2: And that's my thing, too, Billy.
- 6:27Speaker 7: You're right.
- 6:28Speaker 6: The way people view this bothered me more about that game,
- 6:32Speaker 6: and I don't know if this makes any sense. I
- 6:34Speaker 6: felt like Michigan should have felt more shame about almost
- 6:36Speaker 6: losing the game, even though they ended up winning, and
- 6:38Speaker 6: that's the goal, I suppose, is to win the game.
- 6:40Speaker 2: But there's still a storm in the field, and I'm like...
- 6:43Speaker 2: None of you people walked in here.
- 6:44Speaker 6: Thinking you were going to need a Hail Mary to
- 6:46Speaker 6: beat Western Michigan and you're storming the field. And I'm not,
- 6:49Speaker 6: it's really not about like storming the field gatekeeping.
- 6:52Speaker 2: Yeah. It usually is. I get that for me.
- 6:55Speaker 6: It really isn't about this time, but more like you should,
- 6:58Speaker 6: you should feel more, more shame. I mean, you should
- 7:00Speaker 6: feel more shame about barely beaten a team in a
- 7:04Speaker 6: by game.
- 7:05Speaker 2: And like, that's what it was.
- 7:06Speaker 6: And, You know, I mean, I'm a Marquette fan, obviously
- 7:09Speaker 6: a lot of college sports fans, Badger fans. We've had
- 7:11Speaker 6: all those moments in basketball where you barely beat the
- 7:13Speaker 6: team at home in a bye game. And like, you're like,
- 7:15Speaker 6: oh man, we escaped and you're leaving the arena. And
- 7:17Speaker 6: you're like, that was embarrassing. Feel more shame here, but
- 7:20Speaker 6: you're storming the field, yelling on Twitter, Portnoy this.
- 7:23Speaker 2: I'm like, it just annoyed me to see them celebrate
- 7:25Speaker 2: that the way they did.
- 7:26Speaker 4: You didn't get a take of sarcasm from the Portnoy thing.
- 7:29Speaker 2: I didn't. don't from him. I didn't feel that.
- 7:33Speaker 4: I got quite a bit of sarcasm from that one.
- 7:35Speaker 5: However, when I watched Kyle Winningham after the game, that
- 7:40Speaker 5: was who I saw feel some shame. He was looking
- 7:44Speaker 5: around as he's talking after the game to the young
- 7:46Speaker 5: lady from NBC.
- 7:47Speaker 2: And he's like, yeah, yeah, we won, I guess.
- 7:50Speaker 5: But like there was a lot of moments where you
- 7:52Speaker 5: could hear Whittingham saying, yeah, they deserve to win the game.
- 7:56Speaker 5: Apparently we did. I paraphrasing his, not his words, not
- 8:00Speaker 5: exactly his words. But again, that's where the, I'm not
- 8:04Speaker 5: going to take what the 19 to 21 year olds
- 8:06Speaker 5: are doing. as the damnation of the entire fan base
- 8:11Speaker 5: or the, the, the echoing of the entire fan base,
- 8:14Speaker 5: the college kids ran onto the field after the game winner.
- 8:17Speaker 4: I'm not surprised.
- 8:19Speaker 5: Like I just, that will be the last part of
- 8:21Speaker 5: me to get frustrated amongst.
- 8:23Speaker 6: A lot of people are saying it disgraced their program
- 8:26Speaker 6: to storm the field.
- 8:27Speaker 5: Now that might be going a little too far. I mean,
- 8:30Speaker 5: Take it up with the parents that are paying the tuition.
- 8:33Speaker 5: I don't care at.
- 8:35Speaker 2: All about what the kids are doing partying in college.
- 8:38Speaker 4: Go live it up.
- 8:39Speaker 5: Have yourself a great time and run into the Ann
- 8:41Speaker 5: Arbor bars. I hope they frequented the bars after as
- 8:43Speaker 5: much as they did the field.
- 8:45Speaker 7: I don't know.
- 8:46Speaker 6: They don't drink anymore. That's what the Gen Z, right?
- 8:48Speaker 6: I keep reading articles about that because it's the first
- 8:50Speaker 6: weekend of college. So we have articles about how they're partying.
- 8:53Speaker 6: And they don't drink anymore.
- 8:54Speaker 2: That's totally different.
- 8:55Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 8:55Speaker 2: But okay.
- 8:56Speaker 6: So that was an interesting by herself for the weekend.
- 8:59Speaker 6: So I have a game ball and kick to the
- 9:01Speaker 6: ball guys.
- 9:02Speaker 4: Let's go.
- 9:02Speaker 2: And I do have a little side. If you guys want.
- 9:04Speaker 6: Okay.
- 9:04Speaker 4: Let's hear it. Let's hear it.
- 9:05Speaker 2: Ball today. Obviously Luis. Obviously. Okay. Give a kick to
- 9:10Speaker 2: the ball.
- 9:10Speaker 7: Great council is pacing in the Cubs dugout.
- 9:13Speaker 2: All right. So I like both. Oh baby. Okay.
- 9:15Speaker 6: So my game ball is let's hear it for all
- 9:18Speaker 6: the fantasy football drafts this weekend, a big weekend.
- 9:22Speaker 2: For fantasy football drafts, I had two of them.
- 9:25Speaker 6: And the fantasy football draft is the last thing in
- 9:27Speaker 6: society that's keeping us together. It's our annual chance to
- 9:30Speaker 6: see friends, to see family, to get together, to share memories,
- 9:34Speaker 6: to share stories on the year. It's basically, in my opinion,
- 9:38Speaker 6: replace high school reunions. It's the last thing going. In
- 9:41Speaker 6: our society, that really keeps us together and hanging out.
- 9:44Speaker 2: Oh, my God. I believe that.
- 9:46Speaker 4: I believe that.
- 9:47Speaker 6: You're the in-person draft guy. I love in-person drafts. Now, Billy,
- 9:51Speaker 6: we were in one. I obviously didn't have it in person.
- 9:53Speaker 6: But you know what?
- 9:54Speaker 4: Even the chance to.
- 9:55Speaker 6: To get and i'm you know the group text some
- 9:58Speaker 6: people like it some people don't but it's like i
- 10:01Speaker 6: just think i would not see these people if it
- 10:04Speaker 6: wasn't for this so i love.
- 10:07Speaker 5: I love it come on now i just i can't
- 10:10Speaker 5: you can't armin there's a couple of things that i
- 10:13Speaker 5: despise more than an in-person.
- 10:17Speaker 6: Fantasy draft, but not much. I'm shocked at this take, Billy.
- 10:21Speaker 6: I'm sorry, I like hanging out with my friends. No,
- 10:25Speaker 6: that's not it. That is not what the in-person draft is.
- 10:29Speaker 6: It is one guy's power trip to tell everybody about
- 10:32Speaker 6: how you need to figure out to find one.
- 10:35Speaker 2: What, you can't find four hours to go hang out
- 10:37Speaker 2: with the guys? You can't go and figure out how
- 10:39Speaker 2: to hang out with your friends?
- 10:41Speaker 5: No, it's the one guy that decides to shame everybody
- 10:44Speaker 5: because he doesn't have anything else going on on a Saturday.
- 10:47Speaker 2: Sorry we got to freaking work.
- 10:48Speaker 5: Sorry people got to go to a high school reunion
- 10:51Speaker 5: because apparently that's the most important thing in the world. Or,
- 10:54Speaker 5: God forbid, we have technology for the last 25 years
- 10:57Speaker 5: and we play fantasy football online where they do a
- 11:00Speaker 5: sweet database and they have a sweet program where Drew.
- 11:04Speaker 2: The 92nd clock is a 92nd clock. Not Jack.
- 11:08Speaker 7: Oh, wow.
- 11:09Speaker 4: I almost caught myself.
- 11:10Speaker 2: Not Jack over here sitting in the corner who takes
- 11:13Speaker 2: seven and a half minutes to go make.
- 11:14Speaker 5: A Jack and Coke. And then all of a sudden
- 11:16Speaker 5: you say, hey, buddy, you've been on the clock for
- 11:18Speaker 5: the last five minutes.
- 11:18Speaker 2: Nobody's got to go get his nachos.
- 11:20Speaker 4: Hold on one second. Hold on one second.
- 11:22Speaker 2: Let me look.
- 11:22Speaker 4: Let me look real quick.
- 11:23Speaker 2: Hold on.
- 11:24Speaker 4: Hold on. Let me see.
- 11:25Speaker 7: Let me see.
- 11:25Speaker 4: Hey, did somebody take.
- 11:27Speaker 2: Did somebody take him yet?
- 11:28Speaker 4: He's gone. Okay, hold on. One more second. You were
- 11:31Speaker 4: getting bean dip.
- 11:32Speaker 2: He's gone. You were at the crock pot.
- 11:34Speaker 5: These should be a quick, tidy, one hour and 30 minute,
- 11:39Speaker 5: maybe two hour processes. Instead, the in-person draft is the longest,
- 11:46Speaker 5: most unorganized, useless part of a great American tradition of
- 11:52Speaker 5: playing fantasy.
- 11:53Speaker 2: No, I don't know, man.
- 11:54Speaker 6: That's why you have to have a good organizer, and
- 11:56Speaker 6: that's why you have to have people that want to
- 11:57Speaker 6: be around each other.
- 11:58Speaker 5: No, good organizer means hall monitor that wants to yell
- 12:01Speaker 5: at everybody about their social calendar.
- 12:04Speaker 2: That is true.
- 12:05Speaker 6: I mean, it is tough to find the day. I mean,
- 12:07Speaker 6: you're sending out email, group email for group email. Who
- 12:09Speaker 6: can do it on this day? Who can do it
- 12:11Speaker 6: on this day? And it is hard to do it.
- 12:12Speaker 6: I'll admit that. But sometimes things in life worth doing
- 12:16Speaker 6: are hard. I mean, what was I going to do anyway?
- 12:18Speaker 6: Go to my 19th pumpkin patch to go buy a gourd?
- 12:21Speaker 4: No, pumpkin patches aren't open yet.
- 12:23Speaker 2: They are now. Trust me. The calendar's filling up. That's
- 12:25Speaker 2: a kick in the balls. My calendar. We already went
- 12:27Speaker 2: to Apple Holler this weekend, which actually was a lot
- 12:29Speaker 2: of fun. I'll have to admit that one. Apple Holler
- 12:31Speaker 2: was a good time. We went, you know.
- 12:33Speaker 6: You know, or apple orchard picking. Now, trust me, the
- 12:36Speaker 6: pumpkin patches are starting to get going.
- 12:37Speaker 5: Thank you, Derek and Whitewater. Join a bowling league and
- 12:39Speaker 5: go hang out with your buddies once a week.
- 12:41Speaker 2: If you want.
- 12:41Speaker 6: I'm fine with that. If people still bowled and went
- 12:44Speaker 6: in bowling leagues, I would.
- 12:44Speaker 2: Go bowl once a week. You live in Milwaukee. There's
- 12:47Speaker 2: a lot of bowling going on. Yeah, but not as
- 12:48Speaker 2: much as it used to be, I feel. I fear.
- 12:51Speaker 2: I fear.
- 12:52Speaker 6: I think it's hard to get people together every week
- 12:53Speaker 6: for bowling.
- 12:54Speaker 2: At least once a year, you should be able to.
- 12:57Speaker 6: But I think it depends on if you have a
- 12:59Speaker 6: well-run draft, if you have a good commissioner and a
- 13:01Speaker 6: well-run draft and everyone's there and then you're doing it right.
- 13:04Speaker 2: It's, it's a nice three, four hours, but I guess opinion,
- 13:07Speaker 2: it's a.
- 13:07Speaker 5: Big power trip. It's a big, I'm going to be
- 13:09Speaker 5: the commissioner. I'm going to run the show. I'm going
- 13:13Speaker 5: to be the one that takes the pick. and I'm
- 13:15Speaker 5: going to let everybody know of who you selected. That's
- 13:18Speaker 5: the most obnoxious, annoying thing. If you want to play
- 13:22Speaker 5: that way, you know what you should do? You should
- 13:23Speaker 5: go add up the scores again like they used to
- 13:25Speaker 5: in the sporting news every Sunday night. Look at the
- 13:27Speaker 5: box score. Look at the box scores on Monday and
- 13:29Speaker 5: then send out the post. They make it way too
- 13:32Speaker 5: easy online.
- 13:33Speaker 4: Just do it there.
- 13:34Speaker 6: Dan in Wausau says, I had an in-person draft in
- 13:36Speaker 6: Armond's right. See, Dan's got it.
- 13:38Speaker 2: Dan's got it. See, I like that.
- 13:39Speaker 4: Dan, it's not fun. It's not a good time.
- 13:42Speaker 5: There's a lot more other enjoying times that you can
- 13:45Speaker 5: have than sitting around watching somebody.
- 13:47Speaker 2: Hold on here.
- 13:48Speaker 6: Go around with your friends and talk about the third
- 13:53Speaker 6: receiver on the Arizona Cardinals.
- 13:54Speaker 2: I would think you would love to do that.
- 13:57Speaker 6: Why am I trying to help my competitors? Not before
- 14:01Speaker 6: they draft, but afterwards. Basically, this day is about talking
- 14:06Speaker 6: about football players.
- 14:08Speaker 5: No, it's a bunch of guys after one person says,
- 14:12Speaker 5: DeAndre Swift.
- 14:13Speaker 2: Oh, that's a good pick. That's a good pick.
- 14:15Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good pick.
- 14:16Speaker 2: I'm totally that guy. I'm complimenting people's picks.
- 14:18Speaker 4: That's the most.
- 14:19Speaker 2: Annoying deal ever.
- 14:22Speaker 4: Oh, that's a reach.
- 14:23Speaker 2: That's a great pick. Great pick. Oh, that's a good pick.
- 14:26Speaker 2: Armin's a great pick guy. Oh, great pick.
- 14:28Speaker 1: He's the hype man for everybody.
- 14:29Speaker 6: I also like when someone else makes food and brings
- 14:31Speaker 6: it and sets it up for everything. Boy, you can
- 14:33Speaker 6: just roll in there like Sinatra and get a spread
- 14:35Speaker 6: and eat.
- 14:36Speaker 5: Oh, so it's the free stuff that you like. No,
- 14:39Speaker 5: I pay my dues.
- 14:40Speaker 2: I pay my dues to the thing.
- 14:42Speaker 6: All right, so I guess that's my game ball, and
- 14:44Speaker 6: that's Billy's kick to the balls for the weekend.
- 14:46Speaker 4: My kick to the balls is to people that like
- 14:48Speaker 4: in-person drafts.
- 14:50Speaker 7: Great counsel is pacing in the Cubs dugout.
- 14:53Speaker 5: And if you're that guy that says, I'm going to
- 14:55Speaker 5: run the fantasy league, and if you can't be in person,
- 14:57Speaker 5: then you can't be in the league.
- 14:59Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 15:00Speaker 4: Kick to the ball squarely to that.
- 15:01Speaker 6: I don't agree with that either. That's not fair because
- 15:03Speaker 6: not everyone can make. That's not fair either.
- 15:05Speaker 2: I agree with you.
- 15:06Speaker 5: But if you're going to be in person draft guy,
- 15:08Speaker 5: then you're in person draft guy.
- 15:09Speaker 2: I'm not going to hold you to the league to
- 15:11Speaker 2: being in the league, though, based on that. I don't know.
- 15:13Speaker 5: You don't really want to be in the league if
- 15:14Speaker 5: you don't want to be there. If you were not
- 15:16Speaker 5: going to make it a point to be there.
- 15:17Speaker 2: Some say that.
- 15:18Speaker 4: That's what you generally hear.
- 15:19Speaker 6: What if you're the only guy that can't make the day,
- 15:21Speaker 6: but you're willing to adjust and make that work for
- 15:25Speaker 6: everybody else?
- 15:25Speaker 2: Ben, go play pickleball and hang out with your pals.
- 15:28Speaker 6: Yeah, no, that's another problem, because pickleball has taken over
- 15:31Speaker 6: tennis courts, and no one can play tennis anymore. But
- 15:35Speaker 6: I admit, pickleball is more accessible and more popular now.
- 15:37Speaker 6: It's just a shame to see. A lot of people
- 15:39Speaker 6: do go play pickleball. In fact, the old people fight
- 15:42Speaker 6: about it. I don't know if you guys see those
- 15:44Speaker 6: on the internet all the time, people getting in pickleball fights.
- 15:47Speaker 2: At the retirement communities. I saw one guy get into
- 15:50Speaker 2: a pickleball fight. Yeah, they get into it. He got
- 15:52Speaker 2: messed up, too. They had to call the cops, too,
- 15:54Speaker 2: and stuff like that. Pretty wild stuff. I don't know.
- 15:56Speaker 2: Pretty wild. All right. Join a bowling league, says Derek.
- 15:58Speaker 2: All right, Derek. Yeah, just join a bowling league. You bowl, Derek,
- 16:02Speaker 2: every week? I want to know. Yeah. I wonder if
- 16:04Speaker 2: Derek Bowles.
- 16:04Speaker 4: I bet he does.
- 16:05Speaker 2: Bowling leagues are commitments, man. Those things run forever.
- 16:07Speaker 6: Oh.
- 16:08Speaker 2: The Premier League.
- 16:09Speaker 4: I was going to say.
- 16:10Speaker 2: When are they not in season?
- 16:11Speaker 5: NBA, NHL, and your bowling league are the three longest
- 16:14Speaker 5: seasons in North American sports. My dad's bowling league used
- 16:18Speaker 5: to be the Monday night excursion, though.
- 16:20Speaker 4: Riviera Lanes. Big Buck Hunter for me.
- 16:23Speaker 2: That was it.
- 16:24Speaker 4: Every moment I came back, Dad, can I get 75 cents?
- 16:28Speaker 5: Well, I know you're going to come back here, so
- 16:30Speaker 5: here's a five and figure out how to not lose
- 16:33Speaker 5: in the first.
- 16:33Speaker 2: Round so you don't have to come back and get
- 16:35Speaker 2: more money to play more games.
- 16:36Speaker 6: Big Buck and I were one of the great bar
- 16:38Speaker 6: games of all time, by the way. And, you know,
- 16:41Speaker 6: in the beginning, I loved Big Buck Hunter, and you
- 16:42Speaker 6: had the guides, the girls that were in the guide suits.
- 16:45Speaker 5: It's Big Buck Hunter and Golden Tee are the top two,
- 16:48Speaker 5: and then everything else is kind of hanging out around.
- 16:50Speaker 2: That's fair, yeah. Love it. Keep them coming, 877-794-1973.
- 16:52Speaker 4: Get you in.
- 16:57Speaker 1: Brewers-Cubs again. That's the beautiful thing about baseball. It was
- 16:59Speaker 1: fun yesterday. Get another one tonight.
- 17:01Speaker 2: I cannot wait for it.
- 17:02Speaker 1: There's a slender young man on the mound, isn't there?
- 17:04Speaker 1: I'm debating trying to get myself in there.
- 17:08Speaker 2: I believe so.
- 17:09Speaker 3: Ms.
- 17:09Speaker 5: Henderson back-to-back. That was the slated plan. David Peterson against
- 17:13Speaker 5: Jacob Mizorowski tomorrow. If you like the barefoot boy, Logan
- 17:17Speaker 5: Henderson against Kevin Gosman as they try to recreate their
- 17:20Speaker 5: beautiful matchup they had at Wrigley Field a week ago.
- 17:25Speaker 2: I might try to get to the game tonight. Tickets
- 17:28Speaker 2: have dropped, and they've even dropped further for Wednesday.
- 17:31Speaker 6: So you can see the market reflected in the patterns
- 17:34Speaker 6: of the Flatlanders. Yes, Mizorowski tonight and Logan Henderson tomorrow. Yeah,
- 17:39Speaker 6: how about that? And then the draw show goes to Cincinnati,
- 17:42Speaker 6: but that's a few days away.
- 17:45Speaker 1: And I wonder if this is like Miz's last full-on,
- 17:48Speaker 1: like you push him a little bit tonight and then
- 17:50Speaker 1: back off.
- 17:51Speaker 2: Well, I think at Pittsburgh would be next, and then
- 17:53Speaker 2: that might be clinching time.
- 17:55Speaker 4: That's true.
- 17:55Speaker 2: So you could do it there.
- 17:56Speaker 1: I have some buddies that have planned, and they're going
- 17:58Speaker 1: to that series in Pittsburgh.
- 17:59Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, you guys might see it. You might.
- 18:01Speaker 4: They might see a party, yeah.
- 18:02Speaker 1: You might be there late, like an hour after the
- 18:07Speaker 1: game behind the dugout, partying.
- 18:08Speaker 5: I was going to say, they might be the only
- 18:10Speaker 5: ones there for the celebration, the pictures. That might be
- 18:12Speaker 5: the perfect time.
- 18:13Speaker 6: Well, the work and the research Hunter's doing to figure
- 18:15Speaker 6: out which series it might be, where he might be traveling,
- 18:17Speaker 6: because I think we're going to get Hunter on the
- 18:18Speaker 6: road for one of these. So that excites me.
- 18:20Speaker 1: Hunter joins us. in about a little more than an
- 18:24Speaker 1: hour from right now.
- 18:25Speaker 2: How about that?
- 18:25Speaker 1: There's no Dolph today. Halftime will go on, though. We'll
- 18:28Speaker 1: make some adjustments. We'll eat an Uncrustable, have some orange slices,
- 18:31Speaker 1: and get back after it.
- 18:32Speaker 2: You're in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
- 18:35Speaker 3: The left-hander lifts the leg, pitches home, a swing and
- 18:38Speaker 3: a bounce, a ball to short. This should do it.
- 18:40Speaker 3: Garcia's thrown a first. It's a perfect game for Thomas Pallone.
- 18:46Speaker 3: Just the fifth in the International League history, covering 142 years,
- 18:53Speaker 3: thrown by one man across nine innings. And Thomas Pannone
- 19:00Speaker 3: on Labor Day Monday of 2026 cements his history in
- 19:07Speaker 3: the International League.
- 19:10Speaker 1: Nashville Sound celebrating last night. A perfect game. How about that?
- 19:14Speaker 1: Atta baby, Jeff Hamm. Way to be on that thing.
- 19:17Speaker 1: Thomas Pannone. Send it in, Pannone.
- 19:20Speaker 5: So, now I'm trying to figure this out. He says
- 19:24Speaker 5: cement's his place in history. Did they actually give him
- 19:27Speaker 5: a piece of cement? Like this picture that the Nashville
- 19:30Speaker 5: Sound's posted. My man's got like a cinder block.
- 19:34Speaker 2: That's the rubber.
- 19:35Speaker 4: Oh, so they dug out the rubber for him to
- 19:37Speaker 4: walk out?
- 19:38Speaker 1: That's the pitching rubber. Yeah, they gave him the pitching rubber.
- 19:41Speaker 4: Did you realize that the rubber was... Wait a minute.
- 19:44Speaker 2: That thing looks like a... That thing looks... Four by six.
- 19:47Speaker 2: I never actually saw one out of the... Like a
- 19:49Speaker 2: home plate. Those things are crazy. You know what that's like?
- 19:52Speaker 2: It looks like an absolute log.
- 19:54Speaker 6: That's like seeing one of your teeth when they get
- 19:56Speaker 6: it pulled and you're like, damn, it went that deep, deep.
- 19:59Speaker 2: It was the roots.
- 20:00Speaker 5: So now how does the groundskeeper feel when they say,
- 20:02Speaker 5: Hey man, you got to dig that thing up?
- 20:03Speaker 2: Well, they just don't go grab another one. Do you
- 20:05Speaker 2: know that I got extras? What a dude.
- 20:09Speaker 4: That is awesome.
- 20:10Speaker 2: It's cool, but it's like, you know, it's like a bad.
- 20:13Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't Kershaw get his from his last
- 20:15Speaker 1: game or something. I don't remember.
- 20:17Speaker 7: I hate that.
- 20:18Speaker 5: Drew, I don't know that a lot of people have
- 20:19Speaker 5: seen the rubber like that. I don't know that a
- 20:21Speaker 5: lot of people have seen the rubber, one, out of
- 20:24Speaker 5: the ground, two, something that large. I don't know that
- 20:28Speaker 5: a lot of people would have planned on that being
- 20:30Speaker 5: the pitching rubber.
- 20:31Speaker 2: Maybe I'm wrong.
- 20:31Speaker 5: Maybe there's a lot more educated human beings out there
- 20:33Speaker 5: than I am. I don't know that a lot of
- 20:35Speaker 5: people knew that's what the rubber looked like.
- 20:37Speaker 6: It looks like Ronald Reagan holding up the Berlin Wall
- 20:39Speaker 6: at the end of the Cold War.
- 20:43Speaker 2: It's pretty cool though.
- 20:44Speaker 4: That is phenomenal.
- 20:45Speaker 2: Is that heavy drew or not really like, is that
- 20:47Speaker 2: pretty heavy? I was going to say, you look at it,
- 20:49Speaker 2: you look at the veins. It looks like he he's
- 20:51Speaker 2: straining to get that thing over the head.
- 20:54Speaker 6: Well, it's a big old thing. I mean, you pull
- 20:57Speaker 6: that big old thing over your head. I mean, that's
- 20:59Speaker 6: pretty awesome.
- 21:00Speaker 2: I bet they probably weigh like 40, 50 pounds.
- 21:02Speaker 6: Yeah, that thing looks like a plate. He's probably like,
- 21:05Speaker 6: I pitched nine innings, you jerks. My arm is like jello.
- 21:07Speaker 2: You're going to make me pick this thing up? I'm
- 21:08Speaker 2: going to work out with this thing. Can't you give
- 21:10Speaker 2: me the ball for the picture?
- 21:14Speaker 1: Well, the ball is one thing, but the pitching number,
- 21:16Speaker 1: you've got to have. It's a solid block.
- 21:18Speaker 2: But congrats to the Nashville Sounds. I mean, this is
- 21:20Speaker 2: a big deal for any organization, especially in a minor
- 21:22Speaker 2: league organization. That's pretty sweet, yeah.
- 21:23Speaker 6: They get to celebrate that, and, hey, that's pretty cool.
- 21:27Speaker 6: I mean, that's always a.
- 21:28Speaker 4: Feather in your cap.
- 21:29Speaker 1: Is he our current electric superhero of the day? That
- 21:31Speaker 1: pretty much has to be.
- 21:32Speaker 5: I was going to say it's going to be tough
- 21:33Speaker 5: for anybody to beat Thomas Pannone, and it's hard for
- 21:35Speaker 5: anybody to beat the superheroes at Current Electric. Call Current.com,

- 22:01Speaker 5: They will be perfect on all the work they do.
- 22:03Speaker 5: They throw a lot more perfect games than International League pitchers.
- 22:07Speaker 4: Five and how.
- 22:07Speaker 5: Many years did Jeff Hem just say?
- 22:09Speaker 6: Five.
- 22:10Speaker 5: They're knocking out perfect games daily at current electric.
- 22:13Speaker 6: Is the fifth nine inning individual. Perfect game in internationally history.
- 22:17Speaker 6: And also a superhero.
- 22:19Speaker 7: I don't know.
- 22:20Speaker 6: Mentioned for the teammate that came ready on the mountain
- 22:23Speaker 6: celebration with.
- 22:24Speaker 2: Some sort of liquid. I'm assuming it's water.
- 22:26Speaker 6: It'd be cool for his beer, but like had like
- 22:28Speaker 6: three of them ready and started spraying him right during
- 22:30Speaker 6: the mountain.
- 22:31Speaker 2: The dog pile. Yeah, that was pretty awesome.
- 22:34Speaker 6: So And you don't see a good dog pile these
- 22:37Speaker 6: days much, but this was a pretty good one.
- 22:39Speaker 2: They really surrounded him right away. So, yes, very worthy
- 22:43Speaker 2: superhero of the day. Like that.
- 22:44Speaker 5: Call Currents.com, Current Electric. And now Current Electric, it might
- 22:48Speaker 5: be an individual perfect game. They might have two folks
- 22:51Speaker 5: that come on out there for you. Whether it's a
- 22:53Speaker 5: combined no-hitter or an individual one, they don't care over
- 22:56Speaker 5: Current Electric. People get upset about non-individual perfect games or no-hitters.
- 23:02Speaker 4: Current electric superheroes are coming out there. They'll work together.
- 23:04Speaker 4: They're great teammates.
- 23:05Speaker 6: Hey, they could have used them at that FSU game
- 23:06Speaker 6: last night. FSU SMU with the power one out that
- 23:09Speaker 6: they eventually got. You guys saw some.
- 23:11Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 23:11Speaker 5: The current electric superheroes would have gotten the scoreboards in
- 23:14Speaker 5: the public address working as well.
- 23:15Speaker 2: They would not have had to play it with limited electronics.
- 23:18Speaker 6: When I read they had to, they had to hook
- 23:19Speaker 6: up what four generators to power one end of it
- 23:21Speaker 6: or something like that.
- 23:22Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 23:23Speaker 2: Yeah, it wasn't even the Badgers in Vegas.
- 23:25Speaker 5: No, Transmitter goes out, and Mike Norvell's like, wait, I
- 23:30Speaker 5: thought we were putting money in here, and I was
- 23:32Speaker 5: cutting money to take the lights off. And it ends
- 23:35Speaker 5: up being a sweet game, SMU and Florida State, for
- 23:38Speaker 5: whoever ended up staying up and watching it. But they
- 23:42Speaker 5: went old school where they not only didn't have the
- 23:45Speaker 5: PA address announcer, they also... At some point, we're just
- 23:49Speaker 5: keeping the clock on the field. And people were saying
- 23:51Speaker 5: that apparently it was even more legit than they did
- 23:53Speaker 5: in Ann Arbor. The head referee was the only one
- 23:57Speaker 5: keeping track.
- 23:58Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 23:59Speaker 4: And they never had any issues like they did there.
- 24:01Speaker 7: No.
- 24:02Speaker 1: Keep them coming. 877-794-1973 gets you in. NicoletLaw.com. Talk and
- 24:08Speaker 1: text line. You can also comment on the YouTube stream,
- 24:11Speaker 1: as many are. Facebook, YouTube, X, our streaming entities. We're
- 24:15Speaker 1: going to talk to Hunter in a little bit. But
- 24:17Speaker 1: we're spinning through now. We're smashing together game balls and
- 24:20Speaker 1: kicks and buy or sell because.
- 24:24Speaker 2: Of what happened.
- 24:24Speaker 1: So now, like, oh, yeah. How about the big game
- 24:27Speaker 1: on Saturday that had the big delay? Yeah, the LSU
- 24:31Speaker 1: and Clemson game.
- 24:32Speaker 2: Another one right there.
- 24:34Speaker 5: More opportunity for Lane Kiffin to be able to fire
- 24:37Speaker 5: out a pregame or a halftime speech. And that would
- 24:40Speaker 5: be the kick to the balls to whoever ends up
- 24:42Speaker 5: posting that.
- 24:44Speaker 6: Brother.
- 24:45Speaker 4: There's certain things that we do need.
- 24:46Speaker 7: Great counsel is pacing in the Cubs dugout.
- 24:49Speaker 4: Thank you. No, you're fine.
- 24:50Speaker 5: There's certain things that we do need and there's certain
- 24:52Speaker 5: things that we don't need. I like the post game.
- 24:56Speaker 5: We all know that the social media team is in here.
- 24:58Speaker 5: Video of like even Ben Johnson, the F the Packers,
- 25:02Speaker 5: whatever that, that excitement. I like that raw reaction. I
- 25:05Speaker 5: don't think that we need cameras in all locker rooms.
- 25:08Speaker 5: I think there can be some things that can be
- 25:09Speaker 5: say sacred for the team, but you know, let the
- 25:13Speaker 5: fans in.
- 25:13Speaker 4: That's one thing.
- 25:15Speaker 5: When it's clear and obvious that you're recording something, you
- 25:18Speaker 5: probably shouldn't be recording.
- 25:19Speaker 4: And then I'm going to post it out online.
- 25:21Speaker 5: Like I get that. Some people think it makes, it
- 25:23Speaker 5: makes Lane Kiffin look cool. I guess it makes it
- 25:25Speaker 5: look cool on the halftime locker room, but I just,
- 25:30Speaker 5: Some things are for the team. That's for the team.
- 25:32Speaker 5: The halftime message is for the team. Whoever decides to
- 25:35Speaker 5: take the video of his feet so he can post
- 25:37Speaker 5: the video, that to me is just so unnecessary.
- 25:40Speaker 7: I agree.
- 25:40Speaker 2: Something should be sacred, Billy.
- 25:42Speaker 6: And also, I'm always skeptical now of like, all right,
- 25:45Speaker 6: it was made to look like it was done in
- 25:47Speaker 6: private or like done secretively.
- 25:49Speaker 2: But did Lane really know? Because Lane is really concerned
- 25:52Speaker 2: about his image all the time.
- 25:53Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 25:53Speaker 4: And a kick to the balls to Lane Kiffin if
- 25:55Speaker 4: that's the way that you would do it.
- 25:56Speaker 7: Great counsel is pacing in the Cubs.
- 25:58Speaker 5: I believe if Lane Kiffin wanted it done, he would
- 26:01Speaker 5: have had somebody be able to shoot it and it
- 26:03Speaker 5: would have been in 4K.
- 26:03Speaker 2: And with all respect.
- 26:04Speaker 4: It would have sounded better if Lane Kiffin was in
- 26:07Speaker 4: on the job.
- 26:08Speaker 6: And your team did your talk in the scoreboard. Like
- 26:10Speaker 6: you ran it up. You blew them out. Like you
- 26:12Speaker 6: sent your message on the scoreboard on the field. So
- 26:15Speaker 6: that should be enough for you.
- 26:16Speaker 2: No, he said make.
- 26:17Speaker 4: Sure they know who's on the schedule.
- 26:19Speaker 1: Billy, you're a Denzian of college football, ESPN's college football
- 26:24Speaker 1: game day. I keep seeing smatterings. Laney Wilson's performance is
- 26:31Speaker 1: being scrutinized and in some cases panned.
- 26:34Speaker 2: I'm like, why? What's the matter with her performance?
- 26:38Speaker 5: Oh, I didn't even know. From when she was the
- 26:40Speaker 5: guest picker or when she was singing? Yeah, when she
- 26:41Speaker 5: was singing.
- 26:42Speaker 1: I don't know if people didn't expect it.
- 26:44Speaker 4: Let's hear their set. That's the problem.
- 26:49Speaker 5: When they do go to a musical guest, that's generally
- 26:52Speaker 5: when I'll go and make a cup of coffee, right?
- 26:54Speaker 5: That might be when I'll probably step out of the room.
- 26:56Speaker 5: I think I kind of missed most of the singing
- 26:59Speaker 5: parts of it. I thought she was fine. I thought
- 27:04Speaker 5: it was good. I thought she was good as the
- 27:05Speaker 5: guest picker as well. They had some issues game day-wise, though,
- 27:09Speaker 5: and maybe it was from the weather delays that they
- 27:13Speaker 5: had as well because they went in probably– 30 minutes in,
- 27:17Speaker 5: they had to go inside of the student athlete union
- 27:22Speaker 5: or whatever and do the rest of the first hour
- 27:27Speaker 5: and probably half of the second hour because of a
- 27:29Speaker 5: lightning delay. And then there were a lot of people
- 27:31Speaker 5: online saying, excuse me, so you guys go in, but
- 27:33Speaker 5: you just leave all these people out here?
- 27:35Speaker 4: Rhys Davis tried.
- 27:37Speaker 5: Reese Davis was trying to let everybody know, please go
- 27:41Speaker 5: and get yourself some cover. Get yourself to a safe place.
- 27:45Speaker 5: Get out of the rain and the lightning. None of
- 27:48Speaker 5: those Louisiana people were listening. Not one single person left
- 27:52Speaker 5: that courtyard that they were all in. So that was
- 27:54Speaker 5: maybe where I thought that there would be some frustrations
- 27:56Speaker 5: for it. But that game, game one was different. It's just,
- 27:59Speaker 5: it's not the same without Lee Corso. And as much
- 28:03Speaker 5: as they've tried, they've done a great job of being
- 28:05Speaker 5: able to hold onto his spirit. 500th game day live
- 28:10Speaker 5: show on the road, 500 times.
- 28:13Speaker 4: I needed just a.
- 28:14Speaker 5: Little bit more Lee Corso, a part of the broadcast
- 28:16Speaker 5: to celebrate, but that was just me. That was just
- 28:18Speaker 5: me because uncle Lee just did so much for that
- 28:20Speaker 5: show and woke me up so many mornings.
- 28:22Speaker 4: I like that.
- 28:23Speaker 5: That's Saturday morning of knowing that you were going to
- 28:26Speaker 5: see Lee Corso either liven up a fan base like
- 28:30Speaker 5: nobody's business throwing the headgear on or piss off a
- 28:33Speaker 5: thousand plus people better than anybody else could. Any wrestling
- 28:37Speaker 5: heel could in that moment. It's just a beautiful thing
- 28:40Speaker 5: to know. And as much as I'll watch McAfee and
- 28:43Speaker 5: enjoy it, him standing up on the chair just doesn't
- 28:45Speaker 5: do it the same way.
- 28:45Speaker 2: Well said.
- 28:46Speaker 6: Certain things can still be good, but we always get
- 28:49Speaker 6: accused like, Oh, everyone says it was better when they
- 28:51Speaker 6: were a kid and primacy bias.
- 28:52Speaker 2: But, I mean, come on. I mean, that's just the
- 28:54Speaker 2: way it was.
- 28:54Speaker 4: Just because Lee Corso was so damn good.
- 28:56Speaker 2: It was just awesome. He was awesome.
- 28:57Speaker 6: And sometimes the way, you know, things originate, like shows
- 29:01Speaker 6: like that, is just the best version of them.
- 29:03Speaker 2: You know, that's okay, too.
- 29:05Speaker 6: And, you know, in 20 years, a different generation will
- 29:08Speaker 6: have their own memories like this of Pat or whoever
- 29:10Speaker 6: it is. That's just the way it is. But, yeah,
- 29:12Speaker 6: it was definitely....
- 29:14Speaker 4: You're right, Billy. It's just not the same.
- 29:16Speaker 2: It's not the same.
- 29:17Speaker 5: It's just not the same. How about a game ball
- 29:19Speaker 5: to a little known Wisconsin? Well, born and raised in Wisconsin,
- 29:24Speaker 5: not always raised as he went off to the land
- 29:26Speaker 5: of corn. My game ball to George. So he flew
- 29:33Speaker 5: out on the plane. And if you go to Melbourne,
- 29:36Speaker 5: Australia to join your team from San Francisco, for week
- 29:40Speaker 5: number one, I got a pretty dang good feeling you're
- 29:43Speaker 5: playing in the game. I don't think you're flying that
- 29:47Speaker 5: far just to hang out with the boys.
- 29:48Speaker 2: Just to be there for vibes.
- 29:50Speaker 5: He tore his Achilles in January in the playoffs and
- 29:54Speaker 5: is going to be ready for week number one. That's
- 29:56Speaker 5: remarkable and an insane turnaround.
- 29:59Speaker 6: Also, it's bad for all the other guys that tear
- 30:01Speaker 6: Achilles because.
- 30:02Speaker 2: Everyone's like, well, why can't you do it?
- 30:03Speaker 4: Kittle just did it.
- 30:04Speaker 6: Like the Adrian Peterson recovering in five months or whatever
- 30:07Speaker 6: he did it. It's like not everybody's the same, but
- 30:09Speaker 6: everyone's going to be like, oh, look, he did it.
- 30:10Speaker 6: Why can't you recover? Aren't you working hard enough? That's
- 30:13Speaker 6: what all these people think, but it's never about that. But, yeah,
- 30:15Speaker 6: that's pretty amazing stuff right there. Boy, how do you
- 30:18Speaker 6: keep that thing comfortable on a 15-hour flight? But, hey,
- 30:21Speaker 6: that's a different– I'm sure he has a nice leg room.
- 30:24Speaker 7: Oh, I'm sure.
- 30:24Speaker 2: I'm sure he's got leg room where he's sitting.
- 30:26Speaker 4: They'll find a way.
- 30:27Speaker 2: They'll find a way to be able to take care
- 30:28Speaker 2: of him. Pretty impressive, though. I mean, to come back
- 30:30Speaker 2: from that, it looks like he will be Billy. So
- 30:32Speaker 2: there you go.
- 30:33Speaker 4: But also a kick to the balls to Raheem Morris.
- 30:36Speaker 7: Great counsel is pacing in the Cubs' dugout.
- 30:38Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 30:39Speaker 5: Defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers. Drew, I don't
- 30:43Speaker 5: know how he's going to come back from this. I
- 30:44Speaker 5: don't know how he's going to be able to live
- 30:46Speaker 5: with the fact that per Adam Schefter, and Schefter was
- 30:49Speaker 5: very excited to tell this story yesterday. Raheem Morris turned
- 30:53Speaker 5: 50 years old on Thursday, September 3rd. It also happened
- 30:56Speaker 5: the day the 49ers flew to Australia, leaving Wednesday night
- 30:59Speaker 5: on the 2nd, arriving Friday morning on the 4th, local time.
- 31:03Speaker 5: So they lost the full day. He lost his 50th birthday. Drew,
- 31:08Speaker 5: how is he going to get over the loss of
- 31:11Speaker 5: his 50th birthday there in the air? What if you're
- 31:13Speaker 5: born on February 29th? That's a great point.
- 31:16Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 31:17Speaker 5: Then you just get to hang out and say that
- 31:18Speaker 5: I'm 12 years old at this point.
- 31:21Speaker 7: Exactly.
- 31:22Speaker 2: He's still 49. Can't call me over the hill.
- 31:24Speaker 6: That is tough, though, to lose your birthday like that.
- 31:26Speaker 2: That is tough.
- 31:27Speaker 4: But if there was a birthday to lose.
- 31:30Speaker 5: I mean, people would say you want to celebrate the
- 31:32Speaker 5: 50th birthday.
- 31:33Speaker 1: Do football coaches even notice stuff like that?
- 31:35Speaker 5: Yeah, his birthday has been during the season for a
- 31:38Speaker 5: long time.
- 31:38Speaker 4: He hadn't celebrated it in quite some time.
- 31:40Speaker 2: I was going to say.
- 31:40Speaker 6: Football coaches like to claim they don't notice anything in
- 31:42Speaker 6: their world. Oh, I got tunnel vision. I'm busy sleeping
- 31:45Speaker 6: under the couch at the office. I had no idea
- 31:46Speaker 6: it's my birthday.
- 31:47Speaker 2: But come on. That's always like the.
- 31:50Speaker 6: Extra flex that football coaches do. Always.
- 31:53Speaker 2: I'm sorry. They do.
- 31:54Speaker 6: Always.
- 31:55Speaker 5: The comment of Raheem Moore is trying to explain how
- 31:57Speaker 5: old he is, and it was the Dennis Rodman.
- 31:59Speaker 2: Now I got to go here, and then I go here,
- 32:01Speaker 2: and then I'm over here, and then I'm over here,
- 32:02Speaker 2: and then I'm over here.
- 32:04Speaker 6: I will say this though, as you get older, you
- 32:07Speaker 6: care less about like, like, well, he wasn't going to
- 32:10Speaker 6: throw his own party probably.
- 32:11Speaker 2: And like, go to, you know, go to Outback Steakhouse. No,
- 32:14Speaker 2: you know what I mean?
- 32:15Speaker 5: Second comment, Adam, why did it take 11 days to
- 32:17Speaker 5: report Kyle Shanahan's car accident?
- 32:19Speaker 2: I love, geez, it's on fire.
- 32:21Speaker 5: They just go from one story to the other. 49ers
- 32:25Speaker 5: quickly shoving all those other stories that they had the
- 32:27Speaker 5: off season under the bed.
- 32:28Speaker 2: Don't worry about it.
- 32:29Speaker 4: Don't worry about it.
- 32:30Speaker 1: We've said that, you know, cockroaches would survive the nuclear Holocaust, right?
- 32:34Speaker 2: Yeah, the hallway. I think the second behind cockroaches.
- 32:36Speaker 1: Will be these insiders because the NBA guys got fed
- 32:39Speaker 1: a line from the Clippers and swallowed it whole, and
- 32:42Speaker 1: they're like, eh, nothing to see here.
- 32:44Speaker 2: No problem. Much ado about nothing.
- 32:46Speaker 4: Is this good to report, Mr.
- 32:47Speaker 3: Editor?
- 32:47Speaker 2: Oops. Just incredible. That's a Michigan man.
- 32:51Speaker 1: Unreal. All right, 877-794-1973. When we come back, we'll spin
- 32:56Speaker 1: through a little who's hot, who's not.
- 32:58Speaker 2: You're in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
- 33:02Speaker 7: In the air to left field. Churrio over.
- 33:04Speaker 2: Churrio slides. He's got it. Jackson Churrio.
- 33:14Speaker 1: The last out from the Brewers' victory over the Cubs
- 33:16Speaker 1: yesterday at American Family Field. Clinching the season series against
- 33:19Speaker 1: the Cubs. They can clinch a series victory with a
- 33:23Speaker 1: win tonight.
- 33:24Speaker 2: Miz on the mound.
- 33:26Speaker 5: We talked about it earlier of the shots into the
- 33:29Speaker 5: dugout of Craig Council. None probably better than that one
- 33:32Speaker 5: right there where he's trying to say, hey, hold on,
- 33:34Speaker 5: hold on.
- 33:34Speaker 4: Wait, should we go?
- 33:35Speaker 2: Confused.
- 33:35Speaker 4: I don't know if my man even.
- 33:36Speaker 2: On the phone was like, Skip, he caught it. Yeah,
- 33:39Speaker 2: he caught it.
- 33:39Speaker 6: He's like, let's just get out of here. On one hand,
- 33:43Speaker 6: I get it. It doesn't hurt to try.
- 33:45Speaker 2: The game's over.
- 33:47Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. For sure.
- 33:49Speaker 6: If nothing else, to annoy the celebration of it. But, like,
- 33:53Speaker 6: what are you watching here?
- 33:54Speaker 2: He caught the ball.
- 33:55Speaker 4: But I love him looking back, like, wait, where are we?
- 33:57Speaker 2: Oh, sorry, I wasn't even checking on the phone.
- 33:59Speaker 4: I apologize.
- 33:59Speaker 1: I'm already into the clubhouse. Time for a little Who's Hot,
- 34:03Speaker 1: Who's Not? Brought to us by Donovan Jorgensen, the pros
- 34:06Speaker 1: when it comes to HVAC. DonovanJorgensen.com, the website. Who do
- 34:10Speaker 1: you got for who's hot, who's not, Bill?
- 34:12Speaker 5: We got Kyle Schwarber hitting his league-leading 43rd home run
- 34:16Speaker 5: of the year yesterday.
- 34:18Speaker 4: And ahead of the blue-haired kid. Just ahead.
- 34:20Speaker 5: And his one homer was the only run the Phillies
- 34:23Speaker 5: were able to muster up yesterday.
- 34:25Speaker 4: The only one they needed. 1-0. They beat the Braves.
- 34:28Speaker 5: The Phillies and Braves have a very similar situation going
- 34:32Speaker 5: on with the Brewers. The seven-game and ten-day run for
- 34:37Speaker 5: the Crown and the NL East, well, same deal as
- 34:40Speaker 5: the Brewers and Cubs did at Wrigley. They split in Philadelphia,
- 34:45Speaker 5: and now they'll go to Atlanta over the weekend, but
- 34:48Speaker 5: Philadelphia needs to sweep that series. They're four games back
- 34:51Speaker 5: of the Braves and nothing doing in that cross pattern
- 34:54Speaker 5: right there. But Kyle Schwarber, 43 bombs. It nuts to
- 34:58Speaker 5: think that he's probably the only guy from that Cubs
- 35:02Speaker 5: team that wins the world series that is going to
- 35:04Speaker 5: be in the hall of fame.
- 35:05Speaker 2: That is crazy to think about that.
- 35:06Speaker 5: John Lester going to be in the conversation. He's going
- 35:08Speaker 5: to be an interesting case for the next couple of years,
- 35:11Speaker 5: but Chapman.
- 35:13Speaker 4: Oh, all this Chapman. That's true.
- 35:14Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 35:14Speaker 2: You almost forget about him. He blew the safe basically
- 35:17Speaker 2: in that game.
- 35:18Speaker 4: Almost blew it.
- 35:18Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 35:19Speaker 4: Good point on that one.
- 35:20Speaker 2: I barely remember that.
- 35:21Speaker 5: Talk about a future potential hall of famer who blew
- 35:24Speaker 5: a safe yesterday in the not category be Craig Kimbrell.
- 35:28Speaker 5: You look at his all-time saves numbers, and he would
- 35:31Speaker 5: have a very interesting one. People forgot Craig Kimbrell was
- 35:34Speaker 5: even in baseball. Well, the Royals were brutal this year,
- 35:37Speaker 5: so they went and picked up Craig Kimbrell, and sadly
- 35:40Speaker 5: for them, he blew the save yesterday.
- 35:42Speaker 4: But what was.
- 35:43Speaker 7: Hot in that game?
- 35:45Speaker 4: The 10th inning.
- 35:46Speaker 5: Nothing, nothing into the 10th inning between the Diamondbacks and
- 35:49Speaker 5: Royals and KC yesterday. A 5-4 Diamondbacks win in 10 innings.
- 35:55Speaker 6: Talk about a miracle finish for overbetters. And then a
- 35:58Speaker 6: bad beat for the underbetters.
- 35:59Speaker 5: The worst kind of bet if you're an underbetter that
- 36:02Speaker 5: you possibly could have.
- 36:04Speaker 4: Especially if you're a Royals fan at the game.
- 36:06Speaker 2: Well, sure. But that's why you should be betting the over, Billy.
- 36:08Speaker 2: I mean, no excuse.
- 36:08Speaker 4: That's true. Life's too short to bet the under.
- 36:10Speaker 5: But there's a double there by Salvi Perez in the
- 36:14Speaker 5: 10th inning that drives in some runs. Zach Fly was
- 36:16Speaker 5: the one that broke the seal. And then four consecutive
- 36:20Speaker 5: base hits by the Diamondbacks later. They win a 5-4
- 36:24Speaker 5: game there. The other hot category would be SMU. They
- 36:29Speaker 5: win last night. Not Mike Norvell. Mike Norvell is as
- 36:32Speaker 5: close to done as possible. People have been talking buyout.
- 36:35Speaker 5: We had somebody on our talking text line asking us
- 36:37Speaker 5: about Luke Fickle's buyout already. I don't know that the
- 36:40Speaker 5: Notre Dame game is the one that would spike a
- 36:41Speaker 5: conversation of that. For Florida State fans, they just want
- 36:45Speaker 5: to talk about the buyout for Mike Norvell every single
- 36:47Speaker 5: day because that's all they want. All they yearn for
- 36:50Speaker 5: is him to not be the head coach of their team.
- 36:52Speaker 2: It's to hire a new coach and then fire him
- 36:54Speaker 2: right out. It's just what it is. That is so true. Yeah.
- 36:57Speaker 2: I thought they might win that game, and it was
- 37:00Speaker 2: going down the wire.
- 37:01Speaker 4: Yeah, they did, too. They did, too.
- 37:03Speaker 5: It's a tough one when Mike Norvell is having this
- 37:05Speaker 5: conversation with a friend of mine who's a buy or
- 37:07Speaker 5: sell kind of conversation, that the broken leg by Jordan
- 37:12Speaker 5: Travis did more to harm Mike Norvell's career than Jordan Travis. Now,
- 37:17Speaker 5: Jordan Travis, he wasn't going to be an NFL player
- 37:20Speaker 5: either way. He was a 5'11 quarterback that had a
- 37:23Speaker 5: decent arm.
- 37:24Speaker 4: Not great.
- 37:26Speaker 5: He would have been a career backup because of the
- 37:28Speaker 5: headiness and all the stuff that you can do, the
- 37:29Speaker 5: little things, Drew. The Sean Clifford style. Mike Norvell is
- 37:33Speaker 5: about to make the college football playoff, have an undefeated
- 37:35Speaker 5: regular season, and instead, three years later, life's not going
- 37:40Speaker 5: to be bad for Mike Norvell. I think at the
- 37:42Speaker 5: end of this, he's going to have made like $ 80
- 37:44Speaker 5: million from Florida State.
- 37:45Speaker 2: His bank account is fine. He's going to be eating dinner.
- 37:48Speaker 2: Coach's life is a lot different because of that one
- 37:52Speaker 2: injury that has them out of the college football playoff
- 37:55Speaker 2: to him fired almost in like, you know, 22, 23.
- 37:57Speaker 2: He probably had dreams of better.
- 37:59Speaker 6: Yes, a better success and stature and a future in
- 38:02Speaker 6: college football in the big time than what it is.
- 38:04Speaker 2: You know, I mean, I'm sure he thought, well, I'm
- 38:06Speaker 2: on my way now.
- 38:07Speaker 4: I'm good.
- 38:07Speaker 2: I'm in my forties.
- 38:08Speaker 6: I'm going to figure this thing out and keep winning
- 38:10Speaker 6: at a big Hallmark touchstone program.
- 38:12Speaker 2: And it's just not happening for him.
- 38:14Speaker 1: That quarterback, the short quarterback makes me think where's Diego
- 38:16Speaker 1: Pavia these days.
- 38:17Speaker 2: That's a great question. Where did he get released?
- 38:21Speaker 6: Right.
- 38:21Speaker 2: He's just chilling. Yeah.
- 38:23Speaker 5: And I'll say the other part of, I was wondering
- 38:25Speaker 5: if Pavia was going to be one of the guys
- 38:27Speaker 5: that tried to get himself into that 2022 five years
- 38:30Speaker 5: for five guys.
- 38:30Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 38:32Speaker 5: But he had already been in for five years, so
- 38:34Speaker 5: he wouldn't have fallen into it. Doubles down that he
- 38:37Speaker 5: should still be able to.
- 38:38Speaker 4: Go back to college football. He cannot. He cannot.
- 38:42Speaker 1: Narrator, he cannot. No eligibility there, buddy. Nothing to wring
- 38:46Speaker 1: out of that bar rag.
- 38:48Speaker 2: We're all trying the same thing. Hey, can we go
- 38:50Speaker 2: back to college?
- 38:51Speaker 4: Can I try to go back?
- 38:52Speaker 2: Yeah, totally. You're not all Chris Wenke.
- 38:56Speaker 5: He just posted on Instagram, this on Yahoo Sports, quote,
- 38:59Speaker 5: looking for a streamer camera guy.
- 39:02Speaker 2: Hit me up.
- 39:03Speaker 5: Oh, boy.
- 39:03Speaker 4: Okay, so he's going to do content.
- 39:05Speaker 2: There you go.
- 39:07Speaker 4: That's what we want.
- 39:09Speaker 2: Should I start streaming, he asked, in a recent Snapchat post?
- 39:13Speaker 2: That's what you should worry about.
- 39:14Speaker 4: Actually, you should.
- 39:15Speaker 2: Look for it.
- 39:16Speaker 1: He's too late to offer his services to come hang
- 39:18Speaker 1: at your fantasy draft.
- 39:19Speaker 5: That'll have to come next year. Yeah, he can't read
- 39:21Speaker 5: your fantasy draft order, so he's got to find something.
- 39:23Speaker 2: In-person draft. On another Snapchat post, Diego Pavia teased that he.
- 39:27Speaker 4: Quote, might do something WWE. I don't know many people
- 39:31Speaker 4: thought pro wrestling in your future, Bobby.
- 39:33Speaker 2: Hey, he's got to look for that next career. It's
- 39:35Speaker 2: actually smart.
- 39:36Speaker 6: Is this the updated era version of, like, can anyone
- 39:40Speaker 6: sublet my apartment from Conor?
- 39:41Speaker 7: Oh, God.
- 39:42Speaker 5: Did he ever get somebody to sublet that apartment? I
- 39:45Speaker 5: don't know if he ever leased it. I really don't.
- 39:47Speaker 4: I'm still wondering.
- 39:48Speaker 2: It might still be out there.
- 39:51Speaker 7: 877-794-1973.
