Speaker 6: I'll be we have a busy at gen. In fact,
Speaker 6: that before I turn over to you, Canny, I want
Speaker 6: to also mention a programming note on Saturday, sports Rap
Speaker 6: debuts that takes place of the External Bump Show. Ralph
Speaker 6: and I will be doing the show. We'll have a
Speaker 6: bunch of other people that's attribute along the way. Probably
Speaker 6: was necessarily a rebrand from the External Bump Show. What
Speaker 6: on a depressing show and called bums out? Really seriously,
Speaker 6: let's talk to positivity. Let's talk about journalism one O one,
Speaker 6: Let's talk about learning something instead of going out there
Speaker 6: and crucifying. Now, the only thing I have to do
Speaker 6: with Ralph here, because he knows he's one of my
Speaker 6: best students in the program, is I have to make
Speaker 6: sure that this guy gets his commercials at ten minutes
Speaker 6: after the hour and fifty minutes tifty the hour, and
Speaker 6: then that way we could go ahead and have a
Speaker 6: nice balance of sports talking between. But don't worry, Ralph
Speaker 6: is the most coachable guy on the planet. And before
Speaker 6: before I'm done talking, before it's all said done, we'll
Speaker 6: make sure that he only has to put him in
Speaker 6: there twice an hour instead of four times an hour,
Speaker 6: so we can talk about that thing called the meat
Speaker 6: in the middle of the broadcast, right, mister Williams.
Speaker 2: That's it, you got it, Scott, thank you.
Speaker 6: It's all about perfectiveness. I have a different professor of
Speaker 6: people dynamic with you. Mister Williams. You're doing good job.
Speaker 1: So before we actually start the show, I'm wearing a
Speaker 1: red for a reason, and I want to say this
Speaker 1: to all the fine gentlemen here on this program and
Speaker 1: all the people out and that are listening to us,
Speaker 1: an early happy Valentine's Day to all of you.
Speaker 5: I thought you were turning into a Chiefs fan.
Speaker 2: Radio today. I want to wish everybody happy radio day.
Speaker 9: Yeah, this radio day good, very nice. Comeback there, Ralph.
Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, there's there's hope for Ralph Williams after all.
Speaker 2: That's right. You're exactly correct.
Speaker 6: I love Williams. Let's say he's one of my favorite people.
Speaker 6: Not saying the one thing. One of the most things.
Speaker 6: He's learning to pick up his Twitter account, by the way, people,
Speaker 6: they're starting to pick up much more. And when I'm
Speaker 6: trying to get into do his take, a lot of
Speaker 6: times that I tag him so he can come up
Speaker 6: with new topic ideas for the sports rap on Saturday.
Speaker 1: So with that being said, Scott, Ralph, what is your
Speaker 1: Twitter handle? Because everybody out there that's listening, I want you.
Speaker 10: To Ralph Williams media productions. That is it right there?
Speaker 10: Ralph Williams aren't media productions.
Speaker 6: Well that's not on Twitter. Stick to man. I got
Speaker 6: a bunch of numbers on there. Oh yeah, seriously, roll
Speaker 6: you know you want to Twitter, and I want to
Speaker 6: make you remember that next week. But I know your
Speaker 6: numbers over north of one fifty. That's all you need
Speaker 6: to know. Don't worry about it.
Speaker 2: That's it. That's up the one sixty nine.
Speaker 6: Now, well that I said it was north of one
Speaker 6: ticket and got the one fifty nine. So you get
Speaker 6: Ralph your deadlines here and this guy's gonna as the
Speaker 6: late Sewers as the late Steward Scott would say, got
Speaker 6: pull pulled out the wooping stick and obviously Ralph Williams
Speaker 6: is taking it to.
Speaker 2: One Ralph W one seven. There you go.
Speaker 6: I knew there were a bunch of numbers in there,
Speaker 6: that's what I remember. So there you go. That'll be
Speaker 6: the one way he'll be able to promote it. And
Speaker 6: I don't know what's in front of you, Ralph, is
Speaker 6: that a microphone or what it is? But okay, well
Speaker 6: that's okay. I'll do a little uh jiggles of the
Speaker 6: right so we can see it. Okay, there you go,
Speaker 6: all right, there you go. Gotta make sure that he's uh,
Speaker 6: all right, handy, go ahead. I don't take it over, Scott.
Speaker 1: There were a couple different topics that you wanted to cover.
Speaker 1: The first one, I'm gonna let you get run with.
Speaker 1: It has to do with country stars Zach Bryan.
Speaker 6: I'll read all the information, Candy. I don't memorize it.
Speaker 6: It's all there.
Speaker 1: Memorize it, Okay. He is actually going to play in
Speaker 1: ann Arbor, Michigan Stadium on September twenty seventh, the first
Speaker 1: ever concert to be held at the biggest stadium in
Speaker 1: the Western Hemisphere. Finally, making show will include John Mayer
Speaker 1: as an opener, along with support sporting acts Ryan Fingered
Speaker 1: and The Texas Gentleman and Joshua Sloan Joshua Door.
Speaker 6: Yeah right, you'd like to think that. Okay, he's watching Nations.
Speaker 6: He'll he'll he'll watch this later. Finally make it a row.
Speaker 1: So what I would say to that is, I think
Speaker 1: that's why the Milwaukee Brewers and their and what is
Speaker 1: now American Family Field, they are actually going to make
Speaker 1: that field. They're gonna put heat and air conditioner in
Speaker 1: there so that they can also use their stadium all
Speaker 1: season long and do concerts in there too. But good thing.
Speaker 1: The one thing I will say about when these stadiums
Speaker 1: host a music stars is that they bring in a
Speaker 1: lot of equipment, so they just have to be very
Speaker 1: careful because the grass and the stadium floor, they just
Speaker 1: to make sure that they don't damage it. But good.
Speaker 1: I mean, let's let's face it, the NFL is great
Speaker 1: at marketing their product. This is going to be a
Speaker 1: huge win for Michigan marketing their product as well and
Speaker 1: bringing in to their to their facilities and stuff.
Speaker 6: Well, keep in mind, one thing we should take note
Speaker 6: is that Manchester United played a soccer game there do
Speaker 6: an incredible crowd. We although that Manchester United is a
Speaker 6: cream of the crop when it comes to soccer, I
Speaker 6: don't know if the crowds were I don't remember off
Speaker 6: the top of my head. So I mission wolver Range
Speaker 6: have no problem during the biggest events on the planet
Speaker 6: with a stadium that seats over one hundred thousand, and
Speaker 6: this concert move is just the latest in the wolver
Speaker 6: range are tailing. And we said it earlier, the largest
Speaker 6: stadium in the Western hemisphere. Why would they get it
Speaker 6: the Wolverrages get it right.
Speaker 1: The only the only thing I will say is it's
Speaker 1: not an indoor or a dome or anything like that.
Speaker 1: So having as having a concert there on September twenty seventh,
Speaker 1: hopefully it's not raining, it's not cold, it's not windy,
Speaker 1: none of those that factors because it is an outdoor stadium.
Speaker 11: We've made all the they've made all those arrangements, all right,
Speaker 11: it's not going to be any of those great No.
Speaker 11: My question is my question is why did it take
Speaker 11: so long in them to approve a concert there? Okay,
Speaker 11: like scott International Soccer there, they've had.
Speaker 9: What you call face off on New Year's Day? What
Speaker 9: do they call that game? Again?
Speaker 11: To Toronto Detroit fosen four My friend was held indoors at.
Speaker 9: Ford Field and I was there. Mister Penn's been. I
Speaker 9: think it's great.
Speaker 11: I think it's long overdue for the ann Arbourn, all
Speaker 11: those great students that attend that university, they have a
Speaker 11: concert like that, I really do.
Speaker 1: So my question would be for having a concert there,
Speaker 1: do you does anybody in the panel And I don't
Speaker 1: know the answer this question, So I'm wondering if any
Speaker 1: of you do do the proceeds do they go to
Speaker 1: the university, do they go to the sporting do they
Speaker 1: go to what? Do we know what they go to?
Speaker 9: It's no, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm going to take a guess.
Speaker 10: I'm going to take a guess that's going to go
Speaker 10: to the transfer or the the the n i L.
Speaker 1: But what my my my issue with that is what
Speaker 1: and what part of NIL? Because they're now ruling that
Speaker 1: like n i L is going to be separate from
Speaker 1: women and men and the different sports. And that's one
Speaker 1: stadium and yes, it normally holds your football, So is
Speaker 1: it going to go into the football pool or does
Speaker 1: it go into a general pool or that would just
Speaker 1: be my question. I mean, if kudos to them, that's
Speaker 1: a great idea, But I just wonder where those profits
Speaker 1: kind of end up. I guess is what I'm thinking.
Speaker 6: I would Yeah, I would think Michigan Athletic department and
Speaker 6: everything's going to pocket that money.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that would be my guess too. That mostly athletics.
Speaker 5: That's that's what I was gonna say. Can't used to
Speaker 5: the program, the athletic program.
Speaker 6: And that's where you say the rich get Richard.
Speaker 9: Yeah exactly, George.
Speaker 5: It's not even football season in Michigan. Already gets a W.
Speaker 6: And I can remember years ago. Okay, you might want
Speaker 6: to keep this name in mind. The athletic director named
Speaker 6: Don Cannum C A A C A and H A
Speaker 6: M used to be a marketing was is what he
Speaker 6: was many years ago when it came to putting the
Speaker 6: Wolverines logos on everything. You can absol so C A
Speaker 6: N A A M for you a lot of Michigan
Speaker 6: wilings when you look at that.
Speaker 9: Thank you for remembering him. Yes, he was a great innovator,
Speaker 9: don't question about it.
Speaker 6: Yeah he was.
Speaker 1: So it does say that the University of Michigan Athletic
Speaker 1: Department and multi Platinum Grammy winner artist Zach Brain jointly
Speaker 1: announced today, Uh chick, It's going on sale tomorrow at
Speaker 1: ten am for anybody that's interested. I'm just trying to
Speaker 1: look to see if if they say.
Speaker 5: At all the country is there a country singer from Michigan.
Speaker 5: I thought there was, but I'm not sure.
Speaker 2: I don't know from Detroit. Kid rocks some countries from the.
Speaker 9: Troit that's it. Yeah, yeah, thanks Ralph go Welco.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm sure it's the athletic department. I just
Speaker 1: don't know exactly where.
Speaker 5: Almost to the athletic department so they could keep keep
Speaker 5: doing what they need to do with their equipment.
Speaker 6: Well, like I said, the risk, Richard, the little rings
Speaker 6: when it comes to making money, and no university better
Speaker 6: than they did.
Speaker 5: You get some credit. They finally got their program together.
Speaker 5: They finally got football team together.
Speaker 6: Oh, the football team together. Don't sleep on the basketball program.
Speaker 6: And our number one sports are change. Brod George and
Speaker 6: I talked about the job that former I think you
Speaker 6: Toad Susty May had done and the team that was
Speaker 6: three seventeen and the Big ten. Look where they're at now,
Speaker 6: they're on top of the they're on top. Candy did
Speaker 6: some research. Only two players or made from that three
Speaker 6: and seventeen team. Otherwise the rest of them, Dusty showed
Speaker 6: them the door.
Speaker 5: Yeah, their hockey team's fighting two.
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, hockey.
Speaker 8: Tea.
Speaker 6: Their hockey team has always been good. Basketball team's been
Speaker 6: up and down. Football team, for the most part, has
Speaker 6: been pretty good.
Speaker 10: Well, the football team ship did what they had to do.
Speaker 10: They you know, they won this ship. I mean they
Speaker 10: did some winning this ship.
Speaker 6: In fact, out some updated news on the Wolverine Bowl.
Speaker 6: Candy most through a lot of stuff. Week Martindale, who
Speaker 6: we interviewed for a lot of the defensive coordinator positions,
Speaker 6: looks like, you give me Richard to Michigan for a
Speaker 6: second season. He's the one that orchestrated the game plan
Speaker 6: to stop the Ohio State Buckeye who subsequently went on
Speaker 6: to win the National championship. So you talk about Michigan
Speaker 6: beating Ohio State. Week was the masterminder. Meanwhile, Ryan Day,
Speaker 6: go figure, he gets an extension of the National Championship,
Speaker 6: they'll be defined for a while, nobody will everybody will
Speaker 6: leave alone.
Speaker 1: Got job security, Yeah, sure, yep, exactly. Okay, So let's
Speaker 1: move on a little bit to talk a little NFL debus.
Speaker 1: Samuels is interested in a Steelers trade.
Speaker 5: Thoughts, Come on, come.
Speaker 2: On, yeah, exactly. Well, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 10: Today, there was a rumor and I was going to
Speaker 10: ask Scott about this uh, because he's tied in with
Speaker 10: the Jaguars. There was a rumor that there was the
Speaker 10: Trevor Lawrence to the dealers for a first and second
Speaker 10: round picking and then Jaguars pick up four years of
Speaker 10: his salary.
Speaker 9: No, no, it's not.
Speaker 6: Rumors are rumors. I don't talk about rumors. Well, think
Speaker 6: you're gonna learn about Ralph and I drove you nine
Speaker 6: million times over. Rumor to me is like an opinion.
Speaker 6: Everybody got one. I don't even know.
Speaker 2: Yeah I was Ralph.
Speaker 5: We're also awaked to Aaron Rodgers and Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 2: So yeah, rumors, rumors are rumors. Yeah, that's it, it's
Speaker 2: gonna be.
Speaker 5: We don't want the old heads, we want the young,
Speaker 5: want the young book.
Speaker 10: Yeah we need We don't need any of those guys.
Speaker 10: And Aaron Rodgers is a bad influence.
Speaker 5: He's recovering from a concussion. I want some way that's
Speaker 5: what's a chance of a concussion of week two? Like,
Speaker 5: can you take it?
Speaker 6: Pady. We don't have the answer to what happened to Jeremy.
Speaker 6: He's been out of sight for a couple of weeks.
Speaker 6: When you know something, please let us know.
Speaker 2: I know nothing.
Speaker 6: I don't know either, but don't don't start starting shoulder.
Speaker 6: Although I should make Hogan cheros at the top of
Speaker 6: the hour.
Speaker 9: I think.
Speaker 6: Maybe, or at least I'll get the last half an
Speaker 6: hour anyway from eleven.
Speaker 5: Okay, Candy, can I say something real quick? Of course,
Speaker 5: anybody that's watching this later on after we're live, pay
Speaker 5: attention to what I'm saying. Kenny Pickett did win a
Speaker 5: super Bowl, but he did not win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 5: He got to go in the last fifty or minute.
Speaker 5: That's it. He didn't take him to the chair.
Speaker 6: Game up on a future time up. I hear nothing.
Speaker 6: I gotta put pen in it plays the lovely guy.
Speaker 6: But wait a minute, sick them man, You are sick
Speaker 6: the man. Here's the deal he got no let me finish.
Speaker 6: I'm going to interrupt you all day long picking nuts.
Speaker 6: He got traded over to Philadelphia, Philadelphia freedom to get
Speaker 6: him out of that situation in Pickford. Now Pittford back
Speaker 6: in the drawing board looking for a quarterback. They gave
Speaker 6: up on him quick. Mike Smond didn't wantam got a
Speaker 6: Super Bowl ring. He's got one more ring. And Jann
Speaker 6: Areno has seriously really no matter how you get it.
Speaker 6: So what let me tell you something? Well, here, let
Speaker 6: me I reay give Penman a history lesson here. Okay,
Speaker 6: back in nineteen seventy two, when you had the Miami Dolphins,
Speaker 6: the undefeated Miami Dolphins, Bob Greensy gets hurt, Who do
Speaker 6: you think takes his place? Earl Morale? Backupkay? No, it isn't. Yeah,
Speaker 6: I had a backup quarterback. Right. Without a backup quarterback,
Speaker 6: you don't have to win. Backup quarterbacks are getting paid
Speaker 6: good money to go out there and carry a Clifford.
Speaker 6: I have to know. I interviewed another one, Carson Wentz
Speaker 6: at the Super Bowl. Will be releasing that interview too.
Speaker 6: So Marshall Wentz to me ended up within a championship
Speaker 6: when he got hurt at Philadelphia, Kansas City. Back up
Speaker 6: quarterbacks are an unbelievable piece of real estate. If that
Speaker 6: isn't good enough, I interviewed Kay Steen and that will
Speaker 6: be up on our network. Sitting up, I'm letting a
Speaker 6: lot out of the bag. I don't care. Don't give
Speaker 6: me the jargon about Kenny peng In no way, I'm
Speaker 6: not taking that tool.
Speaker 11: A man.
Speaker 6: He got a ring, he got a many rings. That
Speaker 6: Mike Tomlin had won.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, I know, Okay, you know, but that
Speaker 5: would be different if Jill and Hurst was out with
Speaker 5: the concussion in the first quarter. Then Pickett played the
Speaker 5: whole game. He away played like a minute too at
Speaker 5: the game.
Speaker 9: The game, like Scott said, he still gets the ring.
Speaker 11: Okay, he still he still gets the winning chair of
Speaker 11: the big check.
Speaker 5: From the NFL all that perplace. Oh kay, Piketts got
Speaker 5: a ring. He didn't do much.
Speaker 6: What are you talking about back there?
Speaker 10: Collect anybody that's on the sidelines. Uh gets a ring?
Speaker 6: I mean you watch the that's right, Yeah, he laughed
Speaker 6: in the entire season. He's got a ring. Let me
Speaker 6: let me get personal. Did you buy your wife a ring?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Okay, then she got a ring too.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I got my wife a ring. Of course I went
Speaker 6: to when I went to Biloxi. I ended up getting
Speaker 6: your butterfly ring when I was doing pretty well over
Speaker 6: on the casinos. She liked that ring too.
Speaker 5: That's my take.
Speaker 6: Well, all right, get your take. More power to you,
Speaker 6: Kenny Pickett. Just to stick it in Penmon's here, since we're.
Speaker 1: Talking about Pittsburgh, Scott actually got to talk to none
Speaker 1: other than Juju shoot Juju Smith Schuster who used to
Speaker 1: be with Pittsburgh and we've got and I will I'm
Speaker 1: gonna apologize to everybody now, mind you. When he was
Speaker 1: doing this interview, we are in one big conference room
Speaker 1: and there's probably nine or ten Kansas city chiefs doing
Speaker 1: interviews all at the same time, talking and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: So the sound is not the best. It's kind of
Speaker 1: hard to hear Scott at times, but you can definitely
Speaker 1: hear Juju's answers, So bear with us and enjoy Scott
Speaker 1: questioning Juju Smith Schuster. I'm sorry, what a.
Speaker 6: Little tongue teaser for you, right.
Speaker 1: Candy Still, well, yes, here me go.
Speaker 6: Ah man.
Speaker 1: I just he's a great coach, all around.
Speaker 6: Half back.
Speaker 9: And the planning for a guy like him.
Speaker 12: It was more than just football, you know, offability there
Speaker 12: about your family, better about what you're annoying.
Speaker 9: Outside of the locker row with the guys. You know
Speaker 9: we about that came.
Speaker 5: Junior time.
Speaker 6: I did, I did?
Speaker 9: I love it there.
Speaker 1: Uh it's my first time, my first glove, so yeah.
Speaker 6: It's it's I mean, you don't go to change the city.
Speaker 6: Who ever changed me put to and who's chee to me,
Speaker 6: can't chance he's a welcome Yeah we come.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, they get pretty deep and coming here. It's uh,
Speaker 1: it's a blessings all gonna be a part of it.
Speaker 6: Which Ady Reed, how would you describe Andy Reed? You
Speaker 6: look at him as like a body figure, and how
Speaker 6: do you feel the way you handles this whole team
Speaker 6: in general?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I can see him as a father
Speaker 1: gid so a lot of us.
Speaker 12: On the team who just cares a lovely group. It's
Speaker 12: a lovely rain that is so nice and uh for
Speaker 12: a lot of us. You know, when you it's like
Speaker 12: one of those people will realize you don't want to
Speaker 12: let down because name the leaves of trusting hell like
Speaker 12: going out there.
Speaker 2: To your job.
Speaker 6: Now obviously you're playing with Luciper. What are some of
Speaker 6: the other highlights that you could get a pretty bit
Speaker 6: of Bob that you've had in those far.
Speaker 9: Pittsburgh doing there? Obviously you know, I don't obviouslay his book?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 6: Next great you listen. I wish you nothing but potential book.
Speaker 6: I know you're a fine wide receiver and obviously, the
Speaker 6: one last thing that came to mind, how would you
Speaker 6: define this wide receiver group and playing.
Speaker 12: With Panta tohme uh, spontaneous excitement.
Speaker 9: Have different type of skills.
Speaker 1: A wave receiver and I'm glad that Patrick.
Speaker 2: He's able to use this.
Speaker 6: And you have pat to tow home a teens, don't
Speaker 6: not eva gon hand you.
Speaker 9: They're great, They're great.
Speaker 6: They told your times bit.
Speaker 1: Yet talk about your experience.
Speaker 6: Great guy, great guy who wouldn't want to root for
Speaker 6: a person like that? And as pends and talk. But
Speaker 6: I didn't know ill will towards Pittford at all. This
Speaker 6: is a great four count my time wins a Heckler
Speaker 6: coachter played more. I hacked what I had to say,
Speaker 6: but I want feedback from everybody else in the group,
Speaker 6: including ukn He go ahead, they'll start off with Benzam,
Speaker 6: what are your thoughts about what you heard there?
Speaker 5: I like howy there's no blood blood between him and
Speaker 5: the Steelers. I'm glad that he still respects the team
Speaker 5: after what happened. And just let you guys know that
Speaker 5: Steelers couldn't afford him. That's why we had to get
Speaker 5: rid of them. So that's what happened in Pittsburgh. So
Speaker 5: that's my t killing that.
Speaker 6: What about you, Ralph, Well you know he was.
Speaker 10: That's one of the reasons why some other things where
Speaker 10: there were some interesting rumors about his locker room demeanor,
Speaker 10: and there was also some interesting things about his social
Speaker 10: media stuff that he was posting. And you know, in
Speaker 10: my Tomlin sort of kind of let him get away
Speaker 10: with some of that stuff on social media, and it
Speaker 10: was causing a lot of riff, you know amongst fans
Speaker 10: and and and and players alike. And you know, on
Speaker 10: the team. I know that uh in Kansas City, he
Speaker 10: looks like he's uh shaped up his attitude because I
Speaker 10: know Andy Reid wouldn't put up with the stuff that
Speaker 10: he was.
Speaker 2: Doing here that with Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 10: But you know, I'm glad to see that he's with
Speaker 10: the winning team like Kansas City.
Speaker 2: Good fan.
Speaker 6: Thank you very much, Patty for the kind of words
Speaker 6: Andy Frailer I like to do when he knocked out
Speaker 6: at Doug Perfect. I like that one too, Eddie. I'm
Speaker 6: glad you brought that up. Thank you.
Speaker 2: And he learned how to walk in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 6: Yeah, perfect or the little dirty players I've ever seen.
Speaker 6: That's sir, bringing up content perfect. Everybody thought in tom
Speaker 6: I can see at thirty and Donald Shoe was a
Speaker 6: saint to bonted perfect, even to George Well.
Speaker 11: I mean you look at his stats and and and
Speaker 11: the great years he had in Pittsburgh. You guys remember
Speaker 11: twenty eighteen, Oh my god, one hundred and eleven receptions,
Speaker 11: fourteen twenty six yards, seven touchdowns.
Speaker 9: Now he's not the dominating.
Speaker 11: Wide receiver that he used to be, of course not,
Speaker 11: I mean when you look at but he still contributed.
Speaker 11: He contributed second time now with Kansas City. I didn't
Speaker 11: know he was there twice. I was, I was. I
Speaker 11: was tripped up on that one because yeah, he was there,
Speaker 11: and then he went, and then he came back and
Speaker 11: came back.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 9: So there's a lot to be said for that.
Speaker 11: There's a lot to be said for the player that
Speaker 11: they want back, somebody that's positive, good influence, whatever. There's
Speaker 11: a number of reasons that your need on the team
Speaker 11: offensively and whatever. But the fact of the matter is
Speaker 11: is he did play with a good team and a
Speaker 11: good coach. And Scott I really enjoyed your interview. You
Speaker 11: did a really good job. I think that young blonde
Speaker 11: or redhead fella next to you was a little jealous
Speaker 11: because he was he was making some faces there, But hey,
Speaker 11: you were controlling that interview situation, Scott, I love it.
Speaker 11: It was great, And yeah he had he had a
Speaker 11: lot of great things to say, Like you said earlier
Speaker 11: about you know, playing for Andy Gray, Joe.
Speaker 6: I lived for this stuff, Eddie Frather, Antonio Brown didn't
Speaker 6: started a position so perfect did that dirty hit on
Speaker 6: him and that Antonio Brown's career went down south, that
Speaker 6: he was a terror on social media and it ran
Speaker 6: him out of the league. Eddie Frather did some real
Speaker 6: damage to There's no doubt about that. So go ahead, Candy,
Speaker 6: were there, he saw me do it. What were your impressions?
Speaker 1: So it surprised me when he was talking about Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 1: I've always thought of Mike Tomlin as a very tough
Speaker 1: coach that he comes across as being very tough and
Speaker 1: can be more of a discipline area and I think
Speaker 1: on the team. But when he said that, Mike Tomlin
Speaker 1: goes above him beyond and gets to know you and
Speaker 1: your family and you know, takes a real interest in
Speaker 1: you outside of your job there because let's face it,
Speaker 1: when they're there, they're there for a you know, a job.
Speaker 1: It's a grueling job. It's a physical job. I was surprised,
Speaker 1: but yet I guess I'm not surprised because people want
Speaker 1: to play for people like Nick Tomlin, and so I
Speaker 1: thought it was really very respectful, to be honest with you,
Speaker 1: because let's face it, he's no longer in Pittsburgh. He's
Speaker 1: moved on. He's on a different team, and he's playing
Speaker 1: for another what I would say, another Hall of Fame coach,
Speaker 1: because Mike Tomlin's gonna be Hall of Fame and so
Speaker 1: is Andy Reid. Let's let's put it out there. So
Speaker 1: to play for some of the people, some of the
Speaker 1: best coaches, hall of Fame coaches, and to give both
Speaker 1: of them the respect. He was just down to earth.
Speaker 1: And I'm going to say that about all of the
Speaker 1: interviews that Scott got and did, there is some great
Speaker 1: ones coming down the pipe from our time in Super
Speaker 1: Bowl watch for the YouTube channel, because I don't want
Speaker 1: to give away all of the good interviews that we
Speaker 1: have coming down. But Kansas City was very open and
Speaker 1: very accommodating and letting us get in questions. Scott asked
Speaker 1: questions at multiple different press conferences. So if you did
Speaker 1: miss last night, we had one of the questions that
Speaker 1: you asked Andy Reid on orts. Was it on Sports
Speaker 1: Exchange or was it on Scott was on Sports Exchanger?
Speaker 1: Was it on Inside the Pigskins? So it's and here's
Speaker 1: one other thing. I'm gonna say kudos to Scott, my husband,
Speaker 1: because even there was a young reporter at a lot
Speaker 1: of these press conferences and that came up to Scott
Speaker 1: and said, you ask very intelligent, great questions. And I
Speaker 1: completely agree. Scott does a really good job. And that's
Speaker 1: partly why he's been in the business for as long
Speaker 1: as he has is because so many people respect him
Speaker 1: and will answer his questions. But he puts a lot
Speaker 1: of thought into him. So I hope everybody enjoys that
Speaker 1: little interview and all the interviews that are coming down
Speaker 1: the pipe.
Speaker 6: Right let me answer Patty Grime's question, what from the
Speaker 6: player that you interviewed? I'll give me all right now.
Speaker 6: I don't mind my check because it will be really
Speaker 6: soon enough. Patrick Mahomes and how much he knew about
Speaker 6: Joe Montana. Nowadays a lot of players don't know the
Speaker 6: history of game. Patrick Mahomes did know a lot about
Speaker 6: Joe Montana. And the thing about Patrick mahomes Is. He
Speaker 6: also people really realized that Joe Montana played most of
Speaker 6: his career in San Francisco. A few people realize he
Speaker 6: finished his career with the Kansas City Chiefs. Great question, Hey,
Speaker 6: thanks for asking me. Appreciate it.
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, I got a really quick story for everybody.
Speaker 10: In the nineties, when I had my TV show on
Speaker 10: PCTV called Sports Talk with Ralph Williams, I used to
Speaker 10: go to the Bill kyrat press conferences and we had
Speaker 10: this this kid come up.
Speaker 2: He was from Johns Time.
Speaker 10: It was his first press conference for Bill at the
Speaker 10: Bill Kyratt press conference and he said to me in
Speaker 10: a a couple other of my colleagues, he said, what
Speaker 10: do I need to do here? It's my first time here.
Speaker 10: And I said, do not repeat anything. Listen to what
Speaker 10: the coach says, and do not repeat anything that he said,
Speaker 10: because he gets.
Speaker 2: Mad when you do that.
Speaker 10: He said, okay, Well, Bill cowerd come up. He gave
Speaker 10: the injury update on nose tackle Jewels Steve. He said,
Speaker 10: Joel Steed's out with a knee injury. What do you
Speaker 10: think that kid? Asked Bill Cower, what's the status of
Speaker 10: Jewel Steve and Bill Cowerd just lit it lit him up.
Speaker 10: He was like, why would you ask me that question
Speaker 10: when I just told you what was going on with
Speaker 10: Joel Steed? And I'm like, oh my gosh, I had
Speaker 10: just told this kid, don't repeat anything he tells you
Speaker 10: at the beginning, you know, or whatever.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 10: So yeah, that was my one of my interviewing experiences
Speaker 10: there for a new kid, or the one that that
Speaker 10: I saw there.
Speaker 6: So everybody in our field has an experience. I'm sure, George,
Speaker 6: we both There was a time I didn't even ask
Speaker 6: him player. That's ember that one GM over at Toledo
Speaker 6: where he says, you're looking for a story that isn't there. George,
Speaker 6: I don't mind mentioning that too, because I was trying.
Speaker 9: To get some information out of him.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I said the guy, all I'm doing is my
Speaker 6: job just as far as you can go, so be it.
Speaker 11: How about how about the how about the time I
Speaker 11: covered the Red Wings and the Flyers and Stanley Cup
Speaker 11: finals and they said, anybody have a question out there?
Speaker 11: And I says, yes, I do. Terry Murray obviously was
Speaker 11: the coach. You know what, I called them? What hey, Brian,
Speaker 11: let me ask you about so and so. He stared
Speaker 11: me down. He embarrassed me in front of all those reporters, saying,
Speaker 11: my name isn't Brian, no ship.
Speaker 9: But he had to stick it to me.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 6: But you know what, thank for reality. I'll depend you
Speaker 6: on this one. Those two guys are twins and they
Speaker 6: looked just a bottle like that can happen for anybody.
Speaker 6: I'm sticking up for you. Take quit while you're ahead.
Speaker 9: I torn, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2: I got a hockey story.
Speaker 10: I took coach or Herb Brooks to the airport when
Speaker 10: I was driving a.
Speaker 6: Cabey Yeah like that, Yes I did.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 10: I was the penguin's personal cab driver at one time.
Speaker 10: I used to take all the penguins to practice on
Speaker 10: a soft point when they had their rink down there.
Speaker 2: Announcing Cranberg.
Speaker 6: Okay, so I am at Cranberrys in a while.
Speaker 9: All right, welcome, let's get back to candid now.
Speaker 2: Sure.
Speaker 1: So, my one of my last topics before we get
Speaker 1: into my talent and some other things, I want to
Speaker 1: talk about Brett Favre. As you all know Brett Favre
Speaker 1: or may or may not know, is that he's diagnosed
Speaker 1: with Parkinson's. But he recently won a humanitarian award that
Speaker 1: was he received at Lee Steinberg's party super Bowl party.
Speaker 1: And part of it is is what has come out
Speaker 1: is that he is, after his passing, he is donating
Speaker 1: his brain for research for CTE and two c IF
Speaker 1: all of his concussions led to Parkinson's and whatnot. Just
Speaker 1: some thoughts about him donating his brain to science, And
Speaker 1: I'm going to start with Ralph.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good you know, it's a good thing
Speaker 2: to do that.
Speaker 10: I'm an organ donor, you know, so I have no
Speaker 10: issues with what he's doing. It's sad to hear that
Speaker 10: he has Parkinson's, you know, that's Michael J. Fox has that.
Speaker 10: I've seen a lot of people that have had that
Speaker 10: over the years in my personal realm here.
Speaker 2: But you know, it's it's it's an interesting thing. It's
Speaker 2: sad to hear that he has Parkinson's.
Speaker 10: And I'm glad that he's doing something with his organs
Speaker 10: or you know, his brain and things like that.
Speaker 2: It's great to know that he's to have somebody else
Speaker 2: that can live.
Speaker 4: George, your thoughts, well, yeah, I mean, it's it is
Speaker 4: a very serious situation and you know, when you hear
Speaker 4: stories like that, of course, it brings to home the.
Speaker 2: Fact that.
Speaker 11: Football, college football, I mean it is it is a
Speaker 11: bit of a you know, a dangerous sport. They've made
Speaker 11: great strides, of course, we know that with helmets and
Speaker 11: and increased protection for the players, and and penalties called
Speaker 11: against defenders who rough up quarterbacks and stud and such,
Speaker 11: and but it's still a very rough sport.
Speaker 9: And of course Brett Farv.
Speaker 11: Had a great career and uh a super Bowl champion
Speaker 11: in a in a great Green Bay Packer legend. And
Speaker 11: it's always tough to see this, I mean it really is.
Speaker 11: I don't know if you caught it, but Michael J.
Speaker 11: Fox was was accepted an award just a few weeks
Speaker 11: back from a former president Joe Biden.
Speaker 9: He was he was.
Speaker 11: Honored with, uh, you know, a wonderful award which is
Speaker 11: you know, uh, prestigious.
Speaker 9: And I just felt so sorry for him.
Speaker 11: He needed somebody to help stand up and you know,
Speaker 11: get over to the podium or where Biden was giving
Speaker 11: him the Medal of Freedom and you know, things like that.
Speaker 11: And of course we saw how it affected Muhammad Ali
Speaker 11: and others too. But I really think that by him
Speaker 11: coming out is a good thing, you know, and easy
Speaker 11: for me to say it's but but I mean as
Speaker 11: a person, that's difficult to share that story, to share
Speaker 11: what's happened. And obviously there's a lot to be said
Speaker 11: for what Brett did, and I do wish him all
Speaker 11: the best of help and all the you know, I
Speaker 11: know it's a tough situation coming out with that, but
Speaker 11: he he handled it like a pro, like a man,
Speaker 11: and that was really good.
Speaker 1: Pensman your thoughts.
Speaker 5: I am glad that Brett Farv is taking care of
Speaker 5: stuff now because most athletes that die, they usually okay,
Speaker 5: now he's gone, they usually do stuff right what happens.
Speaker 5: It's like, okay, now that he's preparing, he's giving the
Speaker 5: university permission, he's doing this, he's doing that, And like
Speaker 5: George said, he had a good career. I can't stand
Speaker 5: facing them. When he was a packer, he didn't do
Speaker 5: he didn't do much as a jet But because I
Speaker 5: feel I feel I feel. I feel bad because he
Speaker 5: was part of the bounty in New Orleans during that
Speaker 5: whole the bounty gate, so so I feel bad for him,
Speaker 5: but I'm just glad he's taken as a pro and
Speaker 5: taking it as a man and taking stuff now before
Speaker 5: he'sfe still alive.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Scott, your thoughts.
Speaker 6: Played a lot of consecutive games, but two hundred and
Speaker 6: sixty two of them took a lot of hits for
Speaker 6: the quarterback, most quarterbacks when he played for a lot
Speaker 6: of what he went through, There's no question about it.
Speaker 6: He took a beating out there. I'll tell you right now,
Speaker 6: of all the quarterbacks that I've watched growing up, three
Speaker 6: or four of my favorite ones. One of them is
Speaker 6: definitely Terry Brash. I love Terry kay time. I love
Speaker 6: the clutch player that he is. John Elway is this
Speaker 6: guy who I've always thought highly of. And Brett Barr
Speaker 6: and what do they all have in comment or a holiday?
Speaker 6: I admire Brett Farr for these to him now. I mean,
Speaker 6: if you played it, if you're a divisional point, you
Speaker 6: lose the team a lot because you see him twice
Speaker 6: a year. But when I heard that announcement, I made
Speaker 6: as a disclosure to my wife myself for all you
Speaker 6: people that don't know by now, I have been diagnosed
Speaker 6: with Alzheimer's disease. I've had some serious brain injuries due
Speaker 6: to some concussion issues, and I told her I've decided
Speaker 6: myself and I am an organ donor, that I will devote.
Speaker 6: I will go ahead, and I'm putting this on on
Speaker 6: a live show right now, that I will be donating
Speaker 6: my brain to science as well. And the reason why
Speaker 6: I've decided to make that admission is I don't know
Speaker 6: how I got Alzheimer's disease in the age I did,
Speaker 6: when the average diagnosis of seventy seventy two years of age,
Speaker 6: and I'm at now, I'm sixty two and I was
Speaker 6: diagnosed at sixty one. So I want my wife to
Speaker 6: know all the answers about what led to it, so
Speaker 6: it'll just be more of an opportunity. So what Brett
Speaker 6: is doing to me, I think is just phenomenal. He
Speaker 6: could do no wrong. In my eyes, I don't care.
Speaker 6: A guy out of southern Mississippi who went to the
Speaker 6: Atlanta Falcons, Jerry Glanville, didn't believe in him. Mike Holgrian
Speaker 6: turned him around and he turned out to be the
Speaker 6: question of one of the greatest quarterbacks of all times?
Speaker 6: What can you say about the guy? And so more
Speaker 6: power to get Brett cadwill plus But yeah, anybody that
Speaker 6: can go out there and donate. What's my brain going
Speaker 6: to do when I'm interred? Go away and nobody's will
Speaker 6: learn anything about it. That's what a lot of these
Speaker 6: people are doing. More power to them. Great topic, Candy, Kenny.
Speaker 5: Yeah, one more thing. Yes, as you know since you're
Speaker 5: a Packers fan. If when Brett Farr's dad died, instead
Speaker 5: of sitting out, he had his best career game who
Speaker 5: and every time he got hit, he got back up
Speaker 5: and said, here I am, go ahead, keep hitting me.
Speaker 5: So I just want to add that too to I.
Speaker 6: Want to mention some Paddy Grimes and chair I got
Speaker 6: kicked out the line camp By boy, you must have
Speaker 6: done something for Patty. I actually went to school with
Speaker 6: Wayne Bond's' son Mike. He's a good guy and I
Speaker 6: got to know Wayne and work with the guy when
Speaker 6: I covered the lines right a lot of years. But
Speaker 6: you know, fans are what they are. If things happened,
Speaker 6: and then any frayser, I will put fires ahead of
Speaker 6: Rogers of the EXCU meek all day long. Go ahead, Candy.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna set the record straight a little bit
Speaker 1: here because there are some facts that were quite right.
Speaker 1: So Brett Fires played twenty seasons in the National Football League,
Speaker 1: primarily with the Packers. He had. His consecutive games streak
Speaker 1: was actually three hundred and twenty one. It started in
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety two all the way to twenty ten. It
Speaker 1: included two hundred and ninety seven regular season games, the
Speaker 1: most in league history. He was also the first NFL
Speaker 1: quarterback to obtain seventy thousand yards, ten thousand passes, six
Speaker 1: thousand completions, five hundred touchdowns, and victories over all thirty
Speaker 1: two teams. He did play his college football in Southern
Speaker 1: Mississippi Golden Eagles, and was selected in the second round
Speaker 1: of the nineteen ninety one NFL Draft by the Atlanta Falcons,
Speaker 1: where he spent one season as a backup. He was
Speaker 1: then traded to the Packers. He became their starter early
Speaker 1: in ninety two. He revitalized the franchise and that had
Speaker 1: been in a period of decline since the late sixties.
Speaker 1: During his sixteen seasons with Green Bay, he led the
Speaker 1: team to eleven playoff appearances, seven divisional titles, NFC championship games,
Speaker 1: two consecutive Super Bowl appearances, and one championship title. The
Speaker 1: team's first in nearly three decades. He was traded in
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight to the Jets, where he played
Speaker 1: one year, and he spent his final two seasons with
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings. Now, as some of you compare in contrast,
Speaker 1: and I know someone Edie put Farv ahead of Rogers,
Speaker 1: and I would put him ahead of Rogers too. It's
Speaker 1: I kind of ironic because Rogers went to the Jets,
Speaker 1: and now he's been released from the Jets. The question
Speaker 1: is is he going to follow the same pathway as
Speaker 1: far and go to the Vikings yet wait to be
Speaker 1: determined because we don't know because he is now a
Speaker 1: free agent and he might retire, or I really don't
Speaker 1: think it's out of him yet. I think he's just
Speaker 1: going to test the waters to see where he might land.
Speaker 1: But Brett also has come out and said that he
Speaker 1: thinks over his whole career that he had like a
Speaker 1: thousand concussions, which is a lot. And obviously there's different severities.
Speaker 1: There's times you know it, sometimes you don't know it.
Speaker 1: But kudos to him for wanting to protect future generations
Speaker 1: from the game that he loves. One of the things
Speaker 1: I will also say is when we were at Lee
Speaker 1: Steinberg's Super Bowl party. And for those of you that
Speaker 1: don't know who Lee Steinberg is, he's Patrick Mahomes agent.
Speaker 1: There were some different vendors, I would say, at the party,
Speaker 1: and there were a one of them had a different
Speaker 1: helmet that he wants the NFL to try out to
Speaker 1: help with concussions. There is also one of the inventors
Speaker 1: we are going to try and get on one of
Speaker 1: our shows, both Scott and mine, and he invented a
Speaker 1: mouthguard or a mouthpiece that is supposed to help deflect
Speaker 1: some of the initial shock. And I'm not as explain
Speaker 1: it as he will be, but it takes some of
Speaker 1: that shock Instead of going up into the head with
Speaker 1: your concussion, it dirt it and spreads it out to
Speaker 1: your lower so you don't get as bad of a concussion.
Speaker 1: But again, he's gonna come on one of our shows
Speaker 1: later on as he's promoting. So we had some great content.
Speaker 1: My only regret is I didn't see Brett at the party.
Speaker 1: So this party was held at a museum, three levels
Speaker 1: outside inside a lot of people in there. But kudos
Speaker 1: to him though, I really give anybody a lot of
Speaker 1: credit that wants to go forward and let somebody learn
Speaker 1: from his demise at that point.
Speaker 6: All right, Petty, I can see why Wayne Finds was
Speaker 6: a little upset with you if nobody was supposed to
Speaker 6: be in attendant. And that's all right, shows you your
Speaker 6: fans you want to do it. But Wayne's an easy
Speaker 6: going guy. It's one of those things that he didn't
Speaker 6: He didn't want you there. He's to know about it.
Speaker 6: And I work with Wayne, one of the best coaches I've.
Speaker 11: Ever worked with.
Speaker 1: Okay, anybody have any other topics except for my tone.
Speaker 1: Then my tone it is. We're gonna start with Pensman.
Speaker 1: What's happening in your towne.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna talk about the Steelers for a little bit.
Speaker 5: And we touched base on this just a little bit.
Speaker 5: Go out there, get Justin Fields one more year, and
Speaker 5: I get Will Howard in twenty twenty six. Justin Fields,
Speaker 5: teach Will Howard how to do the system. No more
Speaker 5: old people. Russell Wilson, we saw what he did. No
Speaker 5: more old people. It's time for get a franchise quarterback
Speaker 5: and go back to Steeler football. That Ralph and I
Speaker 5: and everybody in Pittsburgh knows what Pittsburgh football.
Speaker 11: Is all about.
Speaker 1: Okay, mister George Ichorn, what's happening?
Speaker 11: In what there's lock and lot happening. The Right Wings
Speaker 11: are on a much deserve break right now. Tampa Bay
Speaker 11: put a little dent in their plans to go into
Speaker 11: the Four Nations break with winnings Drake. Obviously they broke
Speaker 11: Detroit's winnings Drake, but that game was viewed by so
Speaker 11: many and my dear colleague Scott has told me for
Speaker 11: years how much the National Hockey League and the national
Speaker 11: networks need the Red Wings and the original six. And
Speaker 11: we talked about it on our earlier show. The ratings
Speaker 11: were just off the charts for Tampa Bay at Detroit
Speaker 11: just over a week ago. The other one, of course,
Speaker 11: is the Detroit Pistons. And here we got a team
Speaker 11: that you talk about teams that have come from nowhere.
Speaker 9: I mean, my god.
Speaker 11: They set that terrible losing streak a year ago and
Speaker 11: worst record of the NBA, worst of course, in Piston history,
Speaker 11: and now here they are a few games above five hundred.
Speaker 11: I can't say enough about what their young coach. I
Speaker 11: was going to almost call him his dad's name, but
Speaker 11: Bickerstaff JB.
Speaker 9: Right, JB.
Speaker 11: Bickerstaff has done a just done a really good job
Speaker 11: and his coaching staff here, and Kate Cunningham is well deserved.
Speaker 9: It's going to play in the All Star Game this weekend.
Speaker 9: So good things. Lots of good news in Detroit.
Speaker 11: And I forgot to mention, of course, that Dylan Larkin
Speaker 11: and Lucas Raymond were representing Detroit in the in the
Speaker 11: Nation the four Nation Hockey Showcase. And then, like I said,
Speaker 11: Kate Cunningham is playing in San Francisco in the All Star.
Speaker 9: Game Sunday, So hats off to those two, those three guys.
Speaker 1: Okay, mister Ralph, what's happening in your town?
Speaker 10: Well, Bensman pretty much sums some things up about the
Speaker 10: Steelers baseball seasons here, and as usual, the Pirates have
Speaker 10: done nothing anyway, and they're gonna do nothing this year
Speaker 10: as usual. But anyway, one thing I want to talk
Speaker 10: about is there's a guy here who decided that he
Speaker 10: had a big tailgate going on, and the parking authority
Speaker 10: people decided to shut him down because he said he
Speaker 10: was rowdy and making too much noise. He had dignitaries
Speaker 10: like Rocky Blier, former Steelers Kevin Green and some other
Speaker 10: people at these tailgate parties.
Speaker 2: Well they moved them to another site.
Speaker 10: Well, now he went out and he bought a billboard
Speaker 10: and it says two aren't ruining the second fire Tomlin
Speaker 10: or sell the team. So now we have two teams
Speaker 10: with two different people putting up billboards just like they
Speaker 10: said the nutting to sell the pirates or make them
Speaker 10: a contender or sell them.
Speaker 2: We now have two.
Speaker 10: Will there be a third billboard for the Penguins. That's
Speaker 10: going to be my question here and that's my time tonight.
Speaker 6: Scott Well lo Leo Haggerty, no problem, I'm going to
Speaker 6: Tampa for this one. Former University South Florida head coach
Speaker 6: Charlie Strong will be returning to Tampa Bay to coach
Speaker 6: the Buccaneers defensive line. Strong was at US from twenty
Speaker 6: seventeen to twenty nineteen, leading the Bulls twenty one and
Speaker 6: sixteen record, including a ten win first season, before being
Speaker 6: fired in the year three. Prior to think at US,
Speaker 6: He's a head coach at both Texas and Louisville. So
Speaker 6: Charlie Strong returning to the Tampa Bay area and then
Speaker 6: as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers more power
Speaker 6: to Charlie, when you get out of college, you might
Speaker 6: as go into the pros. You never know what will happen.
Speaker 6: So I'm happy for him. USF programs in good hands
Speaker 6: with Alex Stolis, But I'm glad to see Charlie going
Speaker 6: back to Tampa and going to the pros. More power
Speaker 6: to him and George. One thing he didn't mention Detroit.
Speaker 6: I know I'll be talking about it on Monday's edition
Speaker 6: one hundred and sixty Payball Talk Farms. The Detroit Tigers
Speaker 6: six years, one hundred and seventy one million dollar offer
Speaker 6: to Alic Fragman, no problem. I have no problem with
Speaker 6: that that Bregman decided to go three years, one hundred
Speaker 6: and twenty million, because when people find out he's not
Speaker 6: a durable he's going to get paying a guy that
Speaker 6: came forty million dollars a year but two opt outs.
Speaker 6: Don't worry. I'll bet anything he won't use those two
Speaker 6: opouts to forty million dollars a year doesn't grow on three.
Speaker 6: He took the forty million a year and ran to
Speaker 6: the Red Sox, and even he doesn't hold up, they'll
Speaker 6: do it. Tiger's made a noble effort to try to
Speaker 6: sign him. We'll see what transpires. I have no problem
Speaker 6: with the Tiger's not getting this guy back to strong.
Speaker 6: He's going with a strong organization with the Buccaneers, has
Speaker 6: been winning and I hope it. Charlie does well up there.
Speaker 10: I think you'll work well with Todd Bowles. He's a
Speaker 10: strong kind of guy that's been around well.
Speaker 6: Todd Bowles. Rob works well with anybody.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Just like, let me tell you one thing about Tomlin
Speaker 6: to say, hypothetically he wasn't with the Sailors and they
Speaker 6: wanted to coach, he'd be hired tomorrow.
Speaker 2: I know you would.
Speaker 1: Okay. So in my town, I am going back to
Speaker 1: my home state Wisconsin, going back to Milwaukee. On Sunday,
Speaker 1: we were in New Orleans. No, we did not get
Speaker 1: tickets to the Super Bowl, but we were in the
Speaker 1: town for the week. But another big event happens Sunday
Speaker 1: in Milwaukee. Hub Brown, longtime NBA broadcaster, retired after sixty
Speaker 1: years in the business. Kudos to him. He did it
Speaker 1: on his terms. He decided that in Milwaukee was his
Speaker 1: last game. That's where he started his career as a coach.
Speaker 1: Kudos to him. They gave him the game Ball, they
Speaker 1: did a little video tribute. On another note, sad to
Speaker 1: see Chris Middleton get traded away from Milwaukee. He will
Speaker 1: be missed on and off the court as he was
Speaker 1: a great humanitarian for the city of Milwaukee as well.
Speaker 1: But one last thing we're gonna as we are transitioning
Speaker 1: from football to now baseball season. Pitchers and catchers reported
Speaker 1: for most of the major league teams this week in
Speaker 1: the last two days, I will I am proud to
Speaker 1: say that the Milwaukee Brewers will be supporting and they
Speaker 1: will be sporting on their uniforms a Bob Buker patch
Speaker 1: for all of the season in honor of their great
Speaker 1: legendary broadcaster Bob Buker. And they also came out today
Speaker 1: and announced that Freddie Peralta will be our opening day
Speaker 1: starter for opening days. So for those of you that
Speaker 1: like baseball, baseball is starting again. Spring training has started
Speaker 1: for most teams. I think a lot of teams start
Speaker 1: actually games next week already, And if you are interested,
Speaker 1: definitely tune in Monday nights on our on South Florida
Speaker 1: YouTube channel. We have what's called one hundred and eight,
Speaker 1: such as Baseball Talk, great programming, great show, Scott's got
Speaker 1: great guests on the show, so make sure you tune
Speaker 1: in if you especially if you like baseball. Anything you
Speaker 1: want to add to that.
Speaker 6: Scott, Yeah, as a matter of fact, I feel bad
Speaker 6: we weren't able to run that show, the least for
Speaker 6: being on the road. It was hard. But let me
Speaker 6: tell you that show is going to like a lot
Speaker 6: of our older shows, depending on the season. That is
Speaker 6: underneath this is big Ball Talk is a show that
Speaker 6: people should get ready to be prepared to watch. It
Speaker 6: will explode this summer. A few other programming notes, as
Speaker 6: I mentioned earlier in the show, External Bum is no
Speaker 6: more for trap Is and we'll be rebranding it to
Speaker 6: Saturday nine at ten o'clock PM Eastern Time. Okay, notes, right,
Speaker 6: that's right, what I say, p m am all right, Yeah,
Speaker 6: that's why I'm donating my brain to science people. Okay,
Speaker 6: then again whatever And then on Monday, well on a network,
Speaker 6: I'm going to have a special MotorCity Mad Mouse show.
Speaker 6: We're going to talk about NHL expansion. But one of
Speaker 6: the shows I'm really looking forward to the most will
Speaker 6: be on No Limit. I'll be bringing on an actress,
Speaker 6: a local actress named Rachel Galvin, who is she a
Speaker 6: former editor at the Teifield Beach observer of big presence
Speaker 6: in the journalism to Unity, and she'll be on there.
Speaker 6: So what we're trying to do is when there are
Speaker 6: nonsports topics available and to write my pocket, I'm going

Speaker 6: No, you did a great job, Candy. We covered a
Speaker 6: lot of ground, Glad you got the book end, and
Speaker 6: obviously there were some important topics to talk about. Not
Speaker 6: often do we get an opportunity to talk about a
Speaker 6: country singer like Zach Brian. You know what's interesting about
Speaker 6: with Brian spelling and my middle name was spelled b
Speaker 6: Rya and as well, but how often can you come
Speaker 6: out a sportshow and talk about a country singer. This
Speaker 6: is at those unique opportunities were able to do it
Speaker 6: because it's in unquestionably a bucket list stadium for those
Speaker 6: that haven't been in the big guys that need to
Speaker 6: get there, so great opportunity sees it when you get it.
Speaker 1: One last thing that I did not promote, and I
Speaker 1: must do so if any of you out there are
Speaker 1: interested in watching chicks talking sports, you gotta check us
Speaker 1: out Tuesday nights Chicks and Salsa or three Chicks in
Speaker 1: a Pod. We talk women talk in sports. You never
Speaker 1: know what we're gonna be talking about, but you gotta
Speaker 1: check us out Tuesday nights. Chicks. Like I said, Chicks
Speaker 1: and Saucer are three chicks in a pod. Basically what
Speaker 1: happened is there was three chicks they started a pod
Speaker 1: and that was the first show, and then they added
Speaker 1: added me, and I'm like, well, I'm a fourth chick,
Speaker 1: Like how can we be three chicks in a pod
Speaker 1: with a fourth chick. So we keep with the name
Speaker 1: Chicks and Salsa. So it depends on how many of
Speaker 1: us are doing it. What show We keep both of
Speaker 1: them alive, But go check us out as well Tuesday
Speaker 1: nights at seven p thirty Eastern. But other than that,
Speaker 1: love check out our shows, watch for our content. We're
Speaker 1: gonna have more of the Super Bowl stuff coming up, pictures, stories, videos.
Speaker 5: All of it.
Speaker 1: Can't wait to share all of that wonderful experience. And
Speaker 1: I want to first before we sign off, I want
Speaker 1: to thank Scott, my husband, for being the guy he
Speaker 1: is and taking me on that beautiful, wonderful experience, once
Speaker 1: in a lifetime experience. I feel it was just a
Speaker 1: wonderful vacation, wonderful time. Obviously, all you guys know that
Speaker 1: I love I have a love for football, So what
Speaker 1: better place to be than in the place that they
Speaker 1: were celebrating the Pinnacle. Yes, maybe the game wasn't what
Speaker 1: everybody wanted or expected, or some liked the halftime, some
Speaker 1: didn't like the halftime, but it was a once in
Speaker 1: a lifetime experience to see all of the people that
Speaker 1: I saw at the Super Bowl Radio Row Superdome on Monday.
Speaker 6: Night, superdomin Not only that, she got bourbon streets, you
Speaker 6: got French corners, you got jacks and squares done getting
Speaker 6: me better than that? And of course I did a
Speaker 6: serene Sunday out and ham and Louisiana where he had
Speaker 6: the Southeastern Louisiana Lions with a stadium of seventy five
Speaker 6: hundred people. I did that on a Sunday. It was
Speaker 6: pretty neat, and that their color scheme was actually green
Speaker 6: and gold, and I was wearing a USF shirt by
Speaker 6: the way, so a little bit of synergy there. It's
Speaker 6: all good. There was a lot of fun on Candy
Speaker 6: had Chancets in Orleans. Games are all well and good,
Speaker 6: only so many people go I've covered for Georgia's covered
Speaker 6: two games. I've covered for. But in the end, I
Speaker 6: think it's all about what you do during the week.
Speaker 6: Games are an added bonus, but you get everything that
Speaker 6: you can get. The NFL is really classic about taking
Speaker 6: care of about your all your expensive meals and so forth,
Speaker 6: and transfer. All you have to do is get there
Speaker 6: and do your best work because that way you want
Speaker 6: to have an opportunity to be reconsidered again to do
Speaker 6: this well.
Speaker 1: And I think when we put up all the different
Speaker 1: things that we're going to be putting up. One of
Speaker 1: the show. One of the videos that I really enjoyed
Speaker 1: was Scott talked to. Because the NFL is really big
Speaker 1: about supporting veterans, he had on his on a video
Speaker 1: two veterans talking about their experiences and mental health and
Speaker 1: everything that goes along with that. He's he talked to
Speaker 1: another former ex NFL player who's written a book and
Speaker 1: it does taxes and accounting. Now he's you're just going
Speaker 1: to have to wait and watch all the different great
Speaker 1: interviews he had.
Speaker 6: I was just in awe of all that he did,
Speaker 6: so thank you, appreciate it. He did great video work
Speaker 6: to make it all reality. Now everybody else benefit from
Speaker 6: Sandy's video work and did everything I could come up
Speaker 6: with the best questions. I get looking forward to getting
Speaker 6: out there so we get a change exactly.
Speaker 9: So I think Penn's been has an update for us.
Speaker 9: I think give us the hockey score.
Speaker 5: Well, thanks George. I want to say too, if I
Speaker 5: can add this, as of right now, with twenty five shots,
Speaker 5: the USA is up five to one right now against Finland.
Speaker 5: And I wanted to promote this that since this is
Speaker 5: going on, I've been doing shorts. So go over my channel,
Speaker 5: go hit that like button subscribe. I'm doing the best
Speaker 5: I can and I cannot make it up to Canada.
Speaker 5: For those who said that, go up. I'm doing the
Speaker 5: best I can. So I'm going to try to doing
Speaker 5: this the best I can. This tournament is on next Friday,
Speaker 5: I think is the championship. So will I'll I'll do shorts,
Speaker 5: I'll do coverage, I'll do what i can until the
Speaker 5: tournament's over. So just add just that's why you need
Speaker 5: to subscribe to my channel, because I'm doing that too.
Speaker 6: All right, you can stop with that.

Speaker 1: a great week. We'll see you next week. Good night, everybody,
