Speaker 1: Good evening, everybody, and welcome to another edition of Fire Up.
Speaker 1: Are we fired up or what tonight? Guys?
Speaker 2: Yes, we are absolutely always.
Speaker 1: Well Ralph, you're bout ready to go. You're on vacation,
Speaker 1: aren't you.
Speaker 2: No, I leave.
Speaker 1: Saturday, you leave Saturday. So you're excited.
Speaker 2: I'm excited to get out of Pittsburgh. I love Arie.
Speaker 2: That's my second city. We have my wife, Ronda and I.
Speaker 2: We have some second cities that we that we enjoy,
Speaker 2: uh Sugar Creek, Ohio, Erie, Raleigh, North Carolina, and so,
Speaker 2: you know, good for you.
Speaker 3: Yes, of course I'm fired up. I get to talk
Speaker 3: to you two wonderful people tonight.
Speaker 2: Likewise, Jeremy like.
Speaker 1: Well, the title of the show kind of talks a
Speaker 1: little bit about injuries. Why are they happening so much lately? Guys,
Speaker 1: That's all we're hearing, both in baseball and in NFL.
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know, I don't know about that candy.
Speaker 2: You know, it could be lack of preparation, lack of conditioning.
Speaker 2: It could be the fact that you know that that
Speaker 2: pitch count you know pictures, you know with that stuff,
Speaker 2: and then you know, you've got guys who just uh
Speaker 2: you know, just managed to get hurt. What I can't
Speaker 2: figure out is how in the world the Pirates in
Speaker 2: the course of two games, ended up with four guys
Speaker 2: with hamstrings and growing problems. You know, sometimes it's the field.
Speaker 2: Look at some of these funky fields out here that
Speaker 2: that don't look good and you get injured every time.
Speaker 2: You know, so black a body, FATA like that.
Speaker 3: But yeah, when it comes to football, it's one. The
Speaker 3: lack of to A day. You can trace it back
Speaker 3: to the death of Corey Stringer when that was the
Speaker 3: last year we had to A day. Even though he
Speaker 3: died because of lack of hydration and they missed the signs.
Speaker 3: What they did miss on was taking it away completely.
Speaker 3: The NFLPA says, well, we're not going to have any
Speaker 3: more of our players die on the field, so I
Speaker 3: don't want to a day. The soft tissue injuries have
Speaker 3: increased by thirty percent. Then then they shortened the off
Speaker 3: season on top of that, so that's less conditioning for
Speaker 3: these guys. Some of them work out in their off season,
Speaker 3: but let's face it, we know a lot of them don't.
Speaker 3: You can see you can see the ones who don't.
Speaker 3: They won't come in with anybody mass, any loss of
Speaker 3: body bat that means they're not working out. They're just
Speaker 3: here collecting a page back. And you see it all
Speaker 3: the time, and lo and behold, you end up with
Speaker 3: more soft tissue injuries. But what you are seeing less
Speaker 3: of is career ending injuries in the NFL. Yes, that's
Speaker 3: also coupled with the medical advances in the surgeries to
Speaker 3: fix those things that normally were career killers ACLS, nclsdcl's
Speaker 3: Achilles tendants. Those used to be career killers. Ninety one
Speaker 3: was when the the medical field changed on how they
Speaker 3: treated achilles tendens. It has not changed six since.
Speaker 2: I like that what comment, I'm not even gonna say it.
Speaker 2: I know what that comment's about, but I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: say it. I got you know.
Speaker 3: But at the same time, some of these guys's out
Speaker 3: so much it isn't funny.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: We had a guy on the Lions, our offensive lineman,
Speaker 3: that was a pro bowler the year before, Jonah Jackson.
Speaker 3: He literally had a hangnail and missed three games due
Speaker 3: to a hangnail. Then he had a hand something to
Speaker 3: do with his wrist, and he missed another five games.
Speaker 3: And I said, right at the end of the season.
Speaker 3: They said, you watched they won't resign him, and I
Speaker 3: don't blame.
Speaker 2: Them, right right, they just settlements here with the Steelers.
Speaker 3: We did one and that was with a god who
Speaker 3: was it? Like Becker the guard we signed from the Bills,
Speaker 3: he got hurt. I see my buddy Chicken Nugget King,
Speaker 3: Buddy Kakito, Will Voggs. Thank you for chiming in. Guys,
Speaker 3: don't forget support the channel that I'm sharing this from
Speaker 3: it is actually the South Florida Tribune, and I'm gonna
Speaker 3: see that because they need our love to Uh.
Speaker 2: Yes, they do as far as a.
Speaker 3: Writer and also for podcasts, so I support them the
Speaker 3: same as I do Ralph for his show because he
Speaker 3: comes on my show. I support is that now I'm
Speaker 3: a co host on one of his shows.
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, and I'm glad to have you as well. Andy. Hey, Candy,
Speaker 2: if you ever want to come on the External Bump Show,
Speaker 2: You're You're always welcome.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I appreciate it. I actually had off today,
Speaker 1: so I'm working on I mean, you're not doing it
Speaker 1: this Saturday, but there are some saturdays I work, so
Speaker 1: it just depends, but yeah, I'll definitely keep that up,
Speaker 1: keep that in mind, of course, because yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Always try to bring a special guest on every once
Speaker 2: in a while, and if somebody can't come on, I'll
Speaker 2: bring him to fill in. So you know, sounds good.
Speaker 1: Go back to these injuries. So one of the major
Speaker 1: injuries obviously and the most well known I guess right
Speaker 1: now that everybody's talking about, is JJ McCarthy right out
Speaker 1: this season.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, they knew he had something wrong with
Speaker 3: his meniscus. It was they couldn't tell the MCL had
Speaker 3: a partial tear in it until they got in there,
Speaker 3: because that meniscus is a lot like your presidest layer
Speaker 3: on your knee. The presidest layer is that layer of
Speaker 3: fluid on top of the knee, and the meniscus is
Speaker 3: the layer between the ligaments underneath your kneecap.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 3: So when they got in there, they realized there was
Speaker 3: a commercial NCL tear, and instead of trying to let
Speaker 3: it feel slowly, they said, well, we might as well
Speaker 3: take care of this now because there's a chance it'll
Speaker 3: tear if you don't. So I applaud them for recognizing
Speaker 3: it and getting it done while they were in there,
Speaker 3: because they already had them under They already had the
Speaker 3: knee open for the rest of it because it was
Speaker 3: going to be just a regular orthoscopic surgery, and it
Speaker 3: ended up being basically a knee overhaul.
Speaker 2: Mhmm.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Do we think that for JJ this is really
Speaker 1: gonna set him back a lot? Or do we think
Speaker 1: it's actually good for him because he'll now be one
Speaker 1: of those rookies that they sit and let absorb and
Speaker 1: learn the system, learn how to read things. So which
Speaker 1: way do you think? Do you think it's well or not?
Speaker 2: Well? I don't think it's good. It's never good to
Speaker 2: get hurt, but whatever. But the good news of all this,
Speaker 2: like you said, is at least he gets to sit
Speaker 2: and learn and understand the system and understand the speed
Speaker 2: of the game by sitting and learning, and there's nothing
Speaker 2: wrong with that. And then I don't know what Sam
Speaker 2: Donald can do to teach him anything. And I know McConnell,
Speaker 2: Kevin MCCONNALLLD today was criticized. They had a scrimmage or
Speaker 2: something or a share practice and he went to the
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator of Cleveland and said, can you please not
Speaker 2: hit so so much because he was starting to pile
Speaker 2: up some injuries. Today it seems like these these practices, uh,
Speaker 2: these joint practices, injuries are starting to pile up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's funny you say that. And I'm gonna say
Speaker 3: this because as a Michigan fan, I wanted McCarthy to
Speaker 3: stay at school another year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what Buddy just said.
Speaker 3: I And it wasn't because I wanted him just to
Speaker 3: play at Michigan because to helped his career. So this
Speaker 3: slows him down and forces him to not play this year.
Speaker 3: He gets to look at that playbook, study it, know it,
Speaker 3: like he knew the Michigan playbook. Well, you're hardball, because
Speaker 3: if you notice, they basically hid him those three games
Speaker 3: when harball was suspended.
Speaker 2: Yes they Yeah, it is the ball less.
Speaker 3: Than twenty times a game. It was handoff forty five
Speaker 3: to fifty times a game between Lake Corum and Downovan Edwards.
Speaker 3: And that's because in the middle, at the beginning of
Speaker 3: the season, he looked really good in the Cup take
Speaker 3: part of the schedule. When you got to the meat
Speaker 3: of the Big ten, he was struggling at times. And
Speaker 3: it wasn't so much that he threw picks, but for
Speaker 3: every wild throw, he'd have the WTF throw. And that's
Speaker 3: a sign of decision making. Either he held on to
Speaker 3: it too long and it would go towards the ground
Speaker 3: in front of the guys, or he released a hair
Speaker 3: too soon and it would sail over their heads. That's
Speaker 3: just that's decision making and mechanics issues. And they also
Speaker 3: pointed out he had mechanics issues right away. The only
Speaker 3: bad part is he doesn't get to work on those
Speaker 3: mechanic issues until he can walk again. And yes, buddy
Speaker 3: can Keto's exactly right. He needed more experience before he
Speaker 3: hit the NFL.
Speaker 2: He's like Caitlin Clark. Caitlin Clark should have stayed at Iowa.
Speaker 2: She could have probably won a national championship, but she
Speaker 2: decided to take the money and run. And that's exactly
Speaker 2: what she did. So he did the same thing.
Speaker 3: Uh, she did come back and stay her last year.
Speaker 3: They just didn't win it.
Speaker 2: Win it. Yeah, Okay, all right, I was wrong on
Speaker 2: that one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was her senior year. So and I'm I
Speaker 3: loved the Caitlin Clark story, don't get me wrong, But
Speaker 3: at the same time, I understand it's the college scoring record,
Speaker 3: and I love it. I love the fact that she
Speaker 3: beat Pistol Pete's record, but at the same time, there's
Speaker 3: a slight taint to it. There was no three point
Speaker 3: line back then. If there was a three point line,
Speaker 3: you could have added thirteen hundred more points to Pistol
Speaker 3: Pete mayridit because he would hit from just inside the
Speaker 3: half court to win games for that team all the
Speaker 3: time his entire career. Hey, he was definitely a deep
Speaker 3: ball shooter and became a deep ball shooter in the
Speaker 3: NFL Lion King even in what of those smoke, Hey,
Speaker 3: I haven't seen you for a minute, brother, So.
Speaker 1: I want to go on record, I did not mean
Speaker 1: anything bad about JJ McCarthy. I obviously do not anybody injured.
Speaker 1: But I also do think that sometimes we rush these
Speaker 1: rookies into and maybe not rush them, but we kind
Speaker 1: of force them into playing right away. And I don't
Speaker 1: always think that's the right thing, because I think there's
Speaker 1: a big difference between the college level and the NFL game.
Speaker 1: And sometimes if you're I would say, if you're an
Speaker 1: elite elite, you can sometimes make it work. But if
Speaker 1: you're not elite, they they're not They stumble and then
Speaker 1: they lose confidence, and then I don't think they necessarily
Speaker 1: become the quarterback they could be. If that makes sense.
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, Candy, it does make sense like that.
Speaker 2: But let me explain this. Don't forget you have a
Speaker 2: five year rookie contract, and I think a team, to
Speaker 2: save money with their salary cap, would rather have a
Speaker 2: rookie like that play and rush them into the system
Speaker 2: so that they don't have to pay some big free
Speaker 2: agent like Kirk Cousins or somebody like that.
Speaker 3: This is the truth, Go ahead, But at the same time,
Speaker 3: you know, as as bad as Minnesota's had it, and
Speaker 3: let's let's face it, with what happened to Kyrie Jackson
Speaker 3: with the car accident, then me Kai Blackman looks like
Speaker 3: he's stepping up into that two role to replace Kyrie,
Speaker 3: and he blows in an ac L. And then the
Speaker 3: backup that was drafted after Kyrie started playing, well, he
Speaker 3: blows up at the ACL. Then the following week, Jerry Tillery,
Speaker 3: the defensive tackle they signed, blows out in a CL
Speaker 3: And now you've got JJ McCarthy with an MCL. As
Speaker 3: bad as that team has had it, And rest in
Speaker 3: peace and prayer to the family and the van loved
Speaker 3: Kyree Jackson in the short time he was there. But
Speaker 3: at the same time, the most injured team in the
Speaker 3: NFL right now is the forty nine Ers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I read bad shape.
Speaker 3: They have twenty nine players on the injury report and
Speaker 3: two holding out.
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, I know I just one of them, but
Speaker 2: could I you.
Speaker 3: And Trent Williams.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 3: But at the same time, how this will help JJ
Speaker 3: McCarthy is the interior O line of Minnesota was not
Speaker 3: that good in the passing game. So it's one of
Speaker 3: those things. If he'd have played, he might have got
Speaker 3: hurt in the season, and then that would have damaged
Speaker 3: him more. Because by Darnold not having anybody to push
Speaker 3: him as the starter, he can relax and just be
Speaker 3: himself because remember he went four and too for Carolina
Speaker 3: that year after. I can't remember Matt Correll, but uh.
Speaker 2: No, Sam Howells in Carolina. Mac Correl was somewhere else.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I'm talking about Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 2: Yes, uh yes, Sam Howe was there.
Speaker 3: No Sam Howells, but oh.
Speaker 2: Wait, he was in Washington. That's right, you're right. Mac
Speaker 2: Correl was there. Yeah, you're right now, mac Correl's in
Speaker 2: the UFL.
Speaker 3: So mack Correl was there, and he was drafted even
Speaker 3: though he had a knee injury and the Pro Bowl
Speaker 3: he played in when his agent warned him not too,
Speaker 3: so he went on and he stunk up the joint.
Speaker 3: I think he was just the season. And then they
Speaker 3: let Sam Darnold take over, and Sam Darnald went four
Speaker 3: and too, and in the NFC South they almost had
Speaker 3: a chance to make the playoffs, but Sam Donald got
Speaker 3: hurt and then they were playing their third stream guy
Speaker 3: and it went down from that. Yeah, Mullets left. Yeah,
Speaker 3: So yeah, Minnesota still has Mullins, who's a serviceable quarterback
Speaker 3: and you like him in a short stint, but you
Speaker 3: don't want him starting for any length of time because
Speaker 3: we saw what happened when he faced Detroit those two times.
Speaker 3: He wasn't that good.
Speaker 1: So interesting question for you guys. Okay, the Packers obviously
Speaker 1: don't have a veteran backup if something God forbid would
Speaker 1: happen to Love. Now, the Vikings don't really have a
Speaker 1: veteran backup because Donald's gonna be it. So do you
Speaker 1: think either of the teams are gonna go after Tannehill.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, Tannehill actually publicly said he wants to be
Speaker 3: a starter. He will not take a bench roll. He
Speaker 3: said he's happy to sit on his couch at home
Speaker 3: and spend time with his family until they roll opens
Speaker 3: up for him. So I don't think anybody's signing him
Speaker 3: because he visited six teams already. Yeah, that was Arizona, Seattle, Denver, Washington, Carolina,
Speaker 3: and one other team, and all of those teams either
Speaker 3: traded or signed a backup the next day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Washington's got Marcus Mariota, so you.
Speaker 3: Know, hey, they signed Marcus Mariota.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, and he's a good backup. I mean, I
Speaker 2: wouldn't deny that. Marcus Marray he's coming and done spots starting,
Speaker 2: just like we have Kyle Allen. I mean, I keep
Speaker 2: telling everybody, Oh, cal Allen. Cal Allen has won some
Speaker 2: games when you had to black up Josh Allen up
Speaker 2: in Buffalo.
Speaker 3: Right, He's not horrible, no starter material, and you wouldn't
Speaker 3: want him to be your starter.
Speaker 2: No, But if he had to come in and spots start,
Speaker 2: you know, like a game or two, you know, So.
Speaker 1: Who do you think Green Bay or the Vikings are
Speaker 1: gonna go after because neither of them have a veteran backup.
Speaker 3: Well, there's guys like Blaine Gabber, Bryan Hoyer, A. J. Mccarroon,
Speaker 3: and Ben de Nucci, which are the next ones on
Speaker 3: the list. I skipped over Trevors mean because I don't
Speaker 3: think he's a good backup.
Speaker 2: Well, Ben de Nucci just signed with Buffalo.
Speaker 3: So there's one off the board.
Speaker 2: That's off. He's off the board. He tried out with
Speaker 2: the See he came in and tried out with the Steelers.
Speaker 2: The Steelers didn't want him, saying what the Buffalo.
Speaker 3: That's not that we're scared to play starters, it's just
Speaker 3: with the shortened preseason. Heink he's on a roster. He
Speaker 3: think he is backing up Pennick's right now because Kirk
Speaker 3: is hurt, right, isn't he still with?
Speaker 2: Uh? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 3: And Huntley is the backup for Lamar there in Raven's territory.
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, they traded, right, they did.
Speaker 3: Yeah, instead of giving seventeen million a year to say, hey,
Speaker 3: would you just shut up and ride the pine. But
Speaker 3: at the same time, if we had a third round
Speaker 3: pick in twenty twenty five, because the Lions were one
Speaker 3: of the first ones to talk to New England. Matthew
Speaker 3: Judin probably wouldn't have went to Atlanta because the price
Speaker 3: was a twenty twenty five pick third or higher this year,
Speaker 3: and with already not having a third round pick, you
Speaker 3: don't want to get rid of your second round pick.
Speaker 3: A great move by Atlanta and then they turn around
Speaker 3: and sign Justin Simmons today, So both of their weaknesses
Speaker 3: just became a strength.
Speaker 2: H Yeah, Green Bay probably Candy is gonna go on
Speaker 2: look for somebody. Experience, they're gonna have to. Matt Lafleur
Speaker 2: is not that dumb, you know what I mean, So
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna have to do something. But Minnesota
Speaker 2: is going to be looking for somebody as well. So
Speaker 2: there's gonna be some competition there to see who gets
Speaker 2: a veteran quarterback.
Speaker 3: Out of them, the two that I liked better, and
Speaker 3: it's no knock against AJ mccerroon, but he was only
Speaker 3: able to get it done in the UFL. He had
Speaker 3: his chance in the NFL and he couldn't even be
Speaker 3: a backup then, which is why he went to the UFL. Granted,
Speaker 3: he had some good games and did some good things
Speaker 3: in the UFL. He wasn't he's not ready for the
Speaker 3: NFL game speat. Brian Hoyer as came in and spot
Speaker 3: started and done well for teams. And Blaine Gabert actually
Speaker 3: was a backup for you guys when Love was the
Speaker 3: third stringer. Yes, was still there. And Blaine Gabbert did
Speaker 3: a good job the one game before he got hurt
Speaker 3: again because Rogers had a gain stretch where he missed
Speaker 3: three games and Blaine Gambert came in for one and
Speaker 3: then Love came in for the other two. Mm hmm,
Speaker 3: So yes, I do know my enemy.
Speaker 1: Hey, that's I never doubted that, never doubted that. So
Speaker 1: somebody said they were talking tonight on the NFL network
Speaker 1: before the game that even though because of course they
Speaker 1: were talking about JJ and JJ going down and how
Speaker 1: they think the Vikings are remarkably improved and will do
Speaker 1: much better this year. Do we think that's true.
Speaker 3: Or they still lack the interior O line to make
Speaker 3: a push for the passing game, They still lack half
Speaker 3: a field in the secondary because as long as lewis
Speaker 3: seen is one of their safeties, he's a liability. They
Speaker 3: are traded away. Andrew Brews Booth and I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't remember the guy's name, but I looked up
Speaker 3: his height, his weight and everything else, and he's not
Speaker 3: a good cover corner, but he tackles. But he's six
Speaker 3: foot four and eight. That's a human skeleton. At a carnival.
Speaker 2: Shows, it says here free ancient quarterback Nathan the choked Peterman?
Speaker 2: Is he still free agent that he goes somewhere?
Speaker 3: Jeremy, do you know, as far as I know, he's
Speaker 3: still a free agent too, But natan Nathan Peterman. That
Speaker 3: means your udfas and your rookies that you have in
Speaker 3: the background are straight dog water.
Speaker 2: Well, he chokes because he choked the pitt Jeremy was terrible.
Speaker 2: He choked in the Bowl game, he played in the
Speaker 2: Senior Bold he choked, and then he choked in the NFL.
Speaker 2: So I call him the choker because he choked.
Speaker 3: I doubt we can get anybody from a team like
Speaker 3: Cleveland or the Ravens or because you have starting qbs
Speaker 3: that have an injury history. So therefore they like the
Speaker 3: guys the guys that they have in those situations. Hey,
Speaker 3: look at Cleveland last year when Deshaun Watson went down,
Speaker 3: the next guy comes in, he looks good, he goes down.
Speaker 3: The next guy comes in, he goes down. I can't
Speaker 3: believe that they went through before they could find one
Speaker 3: they could win more than one game in a row.
Speaker 2: Peterman still turning their inceptions. Absolutely, he's a choker, Patty,
Speaker 2: he chokes.
Speaker 3: I agree with that.
Speaker 2: Oh, every time he does something, he chokes. Okay, here
Speaker 2: are some of the free agents, Ryan Tannehill, Trevor Simmey
Speaker 2: and Blank Abart, HJ McCarron, Brian Hoyer, Kellen Maud, Ben
Speaker 2: Denucci signed with the Bills, and Nathan Peterman Stilector too.
Speaker 2: So that's what you have available. So if i'm if
Speaker 2: I'm Green Bay, I probably might take AJ McCarron. I mean,
Speaker 2: he did a good job in the UFL. He's resurrected
Speaker 2: his career a little bit it. Brian Hoyer's been around,
Speaker 2: Kellen moll and I don't know about him. Blaine Gabbart's
Speaker 2: been in there.
Speaker 3: So you know, if you want to talk about familiarity
Speaker 3: with the system and with the coach and everything else,
Speaker 3: Blaine Gabbert's the answer for event.
Speaker 2: Yes, right, yeah, I agree with you on that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it hasn't changed because it's still Matt Lafleur's offense.
Speaker 1: What do you think about Minnesota? Who do you think
Speaker 1: Minnesota should go after?
Speaker 3: Well, Brian Hoyer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would get Hoyer in here absolutely.
Speaker 3: Kellen Mond, he was there back when it was the
Speaker 3: Mike Zimmer team. You don't know anywhere near.
Speaker 2: You know what? Yeah, exactly, Yeah, I agree with you
Speaker 2: on that because Minnesota has to, you know, uh get
Speaker 2: rid of the Mike Zimmer smell. You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: From there? You know? Uh SOMs this year? Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2: He started defensive coordinator, took over for Dan point and
Speaker 2: left for Washington. Yep, We'll see what he does down there.
Speaker 1: So are there any games you're looking forward to this weekend?
Speaker 3: Because Dan Campbell has the hinsions that he made run
Speaker 3: starters versus the Chiefs and the reason why. And I'm
Speaker 3: gonna say I applauded if he does, because the one
Speaker 3: thing Andy Reid does every year is he refuses to
Speaker 3: do joint practices and he runs his starters out two
Speaker 3: games a year. One game is like there they're warm up,
Speaker 3: The next game is like their dress rehearsal, and then
Speaker 3: the third game he evaluates the backup talent. So I
Speaker 3: agree we should run our starters out versus their starters.
Speaker 3: Why are we gonna put our backups out there to
Speaker 3: get killed? Because that's what happened. If you play starter
Speaker 3: NFL team talent versus back, whether it's the quarterback, the
Speaker 3: old line, whatever, you're not going to be able to
Speaker 3: evaluate your talent.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: I agree with it, and I think that more coaches
Speaker 3: should learn that. For Andy Reid because guess what, since
Speaker 3: he's been there and he's been doing this, and that's
Speaker 3: even since two days have been done, they've been in
Speaker 3: the playoffs every year. They've been in the playoffs the
Speaker 3: last five straight years, they've made it to four super
Speaker 3: Bowls and won three of them.
Speaker 2: Yes, they have, Yes, exactly right. I mean Andy Reid
Speaker 2: makes it work there, Candy and chairman, and it's uh,
Speaker 2: you know, like Jeremy pointed out, it's real simple. And
Speaker 2: he's been to the super Bowl. So here's a guy
Speaker 2: who really, uh you know, knows what he's doing. He's
Speaker 2: got a good staff, you know, assistance and whatnot. So
Speaker 2: you know, that's a good idea because all these scrimmages
Speaker 2: and joint practices, they're causing injuries, right, now and fights
Speaker 2: and all that stuff. A Bo Crouch on my show
Speaker 2: on Tuesday, and he was talking about how that Seattle
Speaker 2: thing with that fight, with that joint practice, you know,
Speaker 2: that causes injuries too. So I mean, it's it's it's
Speaker 2: it's a it's a big mess. Now Steelers had one
Speaker 2: today with Buffalo and we had some injuries. So I mean,
Speaker 2: it's just it's a no win situation here, mm hmm.
Speaker 3: In the first starter, I'm not putting a backup in
Speaker 3: versus the Chiefs starting team.
Speaker 2: And didn't hook her. I used to laugh at his name,
Speaker 2: Jeremy head Hooker.
Speaker 3: Right, I get it, I admit it.
Speaker 1: I agree. I think the starters should be playing some
Speaker 1: in the preseason. I think if they don't, it really
Speaker 1: shows up that first game.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, Tomlin has messed that up all the time
Speaker 2: when Ben was quarterback. I mean, and then we my
Speaker 2: flat in the first game, and he did it with
Speaker 2: Kenny Pickett and he did it with everybody. So now
Speaker 2: he's starting to play his starters a little bit. Russell
Speaker 2: Wilson's gonna play this Saturday. Well, you know he's gonna
Speaker 2: get his first taste of the game in a Steeler
Speaker 2: uniform because he had that stupid calf injury because he
Speaker 2: was pulling a sled. So I mean, you know, and
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you watch the NFL games in week one
Speaker 3: and when week two, it looks like an extension of
Speaker 3: the preseason.
Speaker 2: Yes, because like Buddy said, rust, it's just it's ridiculous.
Speaker 3: Ye know, it's more than Russ though, it's mental mistakes.
Speaker 3: You also see more injuries in the first couple of
Speaker 3: weeks than you used to. Why players are not in
Speaker 3: game shape.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: Granted I like the joint practices, but I don't like
Speaker 3: the fighting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I.
Speaker 3: Would rather do away with the joint practices. And now,
Speaker 3: if they go to two preseason games Andy Reid's series out,
Speaker 3: you get one game, which means you better run those
Speaker 3: starters as a dress rehearsal, right then, and play the
Speaker 3: first half of that first game, and then evaluate your
Speaker 3: talent the rest of the preseason.
Speaker 2: Right. Yeah, but they're talking about they should have kept
Speaker 2: the preseason at four games, okay, because that gives you
Speaker 2: more time to evaluate talent, even though you have a
Speaker 2: training camp. But it's game speed.
Speaker 3: The NFLPA stopped that. They said, we will never play
Speaker 3: more than twenty games preseason and regular season combined, So
Speaker 3: when they went to seventeen, the natural progression, right, so
Speaker 3: the same thing when we go to eighteen, it'll be two.
Speaker 3: But at that.
Speaker 2: At that point, baby Lamar Jackson, Lion King, I like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I really don't think we need any body else.
Speaker 3: Let's see what Jake brum has in this preseason game
Speaker 3: before you throw him under the bus. Because the one
Speaker 3: thing I do like is he's way more athletic than
Speaker 3: Nate Sudfelt. He has a better arm strength than Nate Sudfelt.
Speaker 3: So he already has more rushing yards in his career
Speaker 3: accidentally than Nate Sudfelt, and Nate Sudfelt's been in the
Speaker 3: league a lot longer.
Speaker 2: Mm hm oh yes, absolutely so.
Speaker 1: As far as injuries to switch it over from NFL
Speaker 1: to MLB, it was announced today that Christian Yelich is
Speaker 1: going to be having season and he has decided to
Speaker 1: have season ending back surgery tomorrow. Oh wow, we knew
Speaker 1: this was a possibility. He was debating whether he would
Speaker 1: play the rest of the season with the back injury
Speaker 1: and then have it later, or if he could rehabit.
Speaker 1: He's been dealing with back injuries for a couple of years. Now,
Speaker 1: kudos to him because I give him credit. The Brewers
Speaker 1: are having a really good season there and I shouldn't
Speaker 1: say really three are missing him is going to be
Speaker 1: a whole. But he's putting his health before everything else,
Speaker 1: which is what he should do because let's face it, back,
Speaker 1: injuries aren't aren't anything to mess with. You can really
Speaker 1: mess yourself up worse if you don't get things taken
Speaker 1: care of. So I give him, I give him kudos
Speaker 1: because that couldn't have been an easy decision, right whether
Speaker 1: I like it. But we've seen even increase in injuries
Speaker 1: in baseball lately. Jazz Chisholm just created to the link Yankees.
Speaker 1: He's out. He's on the ir right now with an
Speaker 1: elbow injury. We've seen a lot a lot of pictures
Speaker 1: go down with Tommy John. I know on the Marlins
Speaker 1: have two of their top Sandy el Kintara. Obviously he
Speaker 1: had Tommy John and then Uri Perez he had Tommy John.
Speaker 1: Now who I would say would be another one of
Speaker 1: their top guys, Jesus Lozardo. He has an injury. He
Speaker 1: was on a sixty day injury list. Now they've said,
Speaker 1: he's done for the year as well. I just keep
Speaker 1: we just keep seeing more and more of these injuries.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's probably lack of conditioning, like Jeremy said, Candy,
Speaker 2: because you know, these players are just not the one
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, like you said, those just there
Speaker 2: to collect their bunny, you know, and do what they
Speaker 2: got to do. And it's really sad because you know,
Speaker 2: people pay a lot of money go watch these games,
Speaker 2: and then you know, I have to be disappointed when
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff happens, and you know, and also
Speaker 2: to that pitch count stuff with the pitchers and all that,
Speaker 2: that's ridiculous, and then you know, you just don't. Uh,
Speaker 2: that's why managers are so skept and they have these
Speaker 2: one hundred pitches and they're taking a picture out, you know,
Speaker 2: that kind of thing, because they know that the arms
Speaker 2: are going to get sore from from too much pitching,
Speaker 2: too many pitches. And then another thing too, you got
Speaker 2: to look at Candy and Jeremy is the fact that
Speaker 2: now Measure League Baseball bat teams are making pitchers pitch,
Speaker 2: all right. They're not taking the first swing at the
Speaker 2: first pitch. They're making them pitch. And when you make
Speaker 2: a pitcher pitch too much. That's how the pitch count
Speaker 2: gets up to one hundred and then you know, and
Speaker 2: then you're out in the fourth inning or whatever. You know.
Speaker 1: So I think part of the problem with all of
Speaker 1: these injuries is that I think the back in the day,
Speaker 1: and I'll admit it, I'm not young, you played more sports,
Speaker 1: and I think more and more as as we've aged,
Speaker 1: we've seen less and less focus on being a well
Speaker 1: rounded sports person and being more focused on one particular sport.
Speaker 1: Pick the sport either you like the most or that
Speaker 1: you're the best at, and let's just focus on that.
Speaker 1: And I think when you do that, you're wearing out
Speaker 1: your muscles and you're not using all of the different
Speaker 1: ones that I think that's partly why we're seeing some
Speaker 1: of these injuries or more.
Speaker 2: I mean, I could be wrong.
Speaker 3: But it's coupled with that. But that pitch plock thing,
Speaker 3: I have said it all year and I'm going to
Speaker 3: continue to say it. As the pitcher goes three innings
Speaker 3: into a game, they should increase it by five to
Speaker 3: ten seconds after that for the next two to three innings.
Speaker 3: That little bit of extra rest is less wear and tear.
Speaker 3: So fast on the arms. We've seen We've seen pitchers
Speaker 3: that weren't able to get a pitch off and lost
Speaker 3: a game off of it in extra innings. Now and
Speaker 3: look at the Tigers and all the players they lost
Speaker 3: to begin the season, and now that people are coming
Speaker 3: back and entering the lineup, and now they're going on
Speaker 3: a little bit of a tear. They just swept the Mariners.
Speaker 3: The Mariners just swept the Mets. So they're not a
Speaker 3: bad team. They're sitting actually with They had fourteen more
Speaker 3: wins than the Tigers when they came into the series.
Speaker 3: Not anymore. Now it's down to eleven. And we've had
Speaker 3: We've seen the Twins lose a game. We've seen the
Speaker 3: Guardians lose a game here. We've seen this team lose
Speaker 3: a game here, which means the Tigers are actually gaining momentum.
Speaker 3: Am I saying they're gonna mean the wild card? No,
Speaker 3: because I didn't have him as a wild card team
Speaker 3: to begin with. I said they'll probably win right around
Speaker 3: sixty five to seventy five games and just missed the playoffs.
Speaker 3: And it's trending in that direction right now because with
Speaker 3: those three wins, they're at fifty six wins now, so
Speaker 3: there isn't much baseball left now. Guys, you only got
Speaker 3: about twenty thirty games and they're winning two thirds of them.
Speaker 3: Add twenty games, that's seventy six wins.
Speaker 1: Yes, everybody, I would have to get it. I do
Speaker 1: also have an admiration for someone that comes back after
Speaker 1: bad injuries. Sorry to hear that your son had an
Speaker 1: ACL injury in soccer. I'm sure he worked hard to
Speaker 1: get back.
Speaker 3: Oh we got Brosky Bearn here. He's been following every
Speaker 3: other podcaster and now he's finally on mine. Congratulations Realsky
Speaker 3: for joining the chat.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, number thirty can hit. He did well. Good
Speaker 1: for good for him. I mean I can't imagine having
Speaker 1: an ACL injury and having trying to come back. And
Speaker 1: I give anybody credit for playing soccer, because granted, is
Speaker 1: not the sport that I really that I love or
Speaker 1: follow very much, but you have to be in really
Speaker 1: good condition to play soccer. Yes, absolutely, running, constantly running.
Speaker 2: I apologize I had to go off the air. My
Speaker 2: neck is bothering me for a patch on, so you're free.
Speaker 2: You know I got that neck problem so mm hmmmm hm.
Speaker 1: Oh he almost gave up. Well I'm glad he didn't.
Speaker 1: So I want your guys's opinion. Okay, Jordan Childs, should
Speaker 1: she give back her the bronze medal or how do
Speaker 1: you feel about this whole situation?
Speaker 2: Is that the one that's supposedly transsexual or whatever? Is that?
Speaker 2: Is that who we're talking about here.
Speaker 1: Jordan Childs is the gymnast who did a floor route.
Speaker 1: She was the last one to go on the floor routine.
Speaker 1: She did a routine, she was given a score. Her
Speaker 1: coach appealed the score saying it was scored wrong. They
Speaker 1: changed her score, they gave her the bronze. There was
Speaker 1: two other gymnasts that were she was given a score
Speaker 1: originally I think thirteen point six sixty six. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: two gymnasts that were tied at thirteen point seven and
Speaker 1: they changed her score. Score was changed to the thirteen
Speaker 1: point seven to six, giving her the bronze. Now they're
Speaker 1: saying that she didn't they didn't appeal in time and
Speaker 1: that one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did hear about the appeal. Yeah, so didn't
Speaker 2: appeal with time. So now they want to take her
Speaker 2: metal away from her or whatever they want to the
Speaker 2: other girl. Yeah, yeah, that's sad.
Speaker 1: So what do we think? What do we how do
Speaker 1: we feel?
Speaker 2: I think she should keep her metal. I think it's
Speaker 2: a bunch of politics, and you know, and then it's
Speaker 2: really sad that you have to have politics in the Olympics.
Speaker 2: You know, that's that that shouldn't happen. But you know,
Speaker 2: it's politics everywhere with everything seems put in the Olympics
Speaker 2: now too, and that's a shame.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, I think you should keep her medal.
Speaker 3: I didn't get to go to Back to the Bricks, Patty.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I've been busy working and having to come
Speaker 3: home and podcast every night. I haven't had time to
Speaker 3: go to any of that stuff. I love that stuff,
Speaker 3: but I just haven't had time to do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think she should keep your metal. I think
Speaker 1: they really need to relook at I mean, an appeal
Speaker 1: has to be done within a minute. That's that's a
Speaker 1: little bit too much.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with you, but this isn't a place.
Speaker 3: This is actually a news channel, a news media outlet,
Speaker 3: YouTube channel. So I'm sorry we're not gonna put your
Speaker 3: comment up on the air. I agree that that's something
Speaker 3: that should have never been made a mockery of right.
Speaker 2: You know what's you know what's wrong today? Everybody thinks
Speaker 2: everything is a joke and it's not okay, and the
Speaker 2: buttom line here is like, for instance, I'll give you
Speaker 2: an example. I was at TSA at the airport in
Speaker 2: two thousand and nine teen. That's why I don't fly anymore.
Speaker 2: They confiscated something out of my wife's purse and I
Speaker 2: told him you're a thief, and they started. I was
Speaker 2: getting really angry. I said, you know, you shouldn't take
Speaker 2: stuff out of my wife's purse that don't belong to you.
Speaker 2: And then to try to tell my wife she had
Speaker 2: to take it back to her car when we had
Speaker 2: already valeated it and we don't know where it is
Speaker 2: because it's been valeaid, and we're already running kind of
Speaker 2: not late, but you know, we want to get to
Speaker 2: our gate, okay. And I had this big argument and
Speaker 2: my face was tried. I was in a bad mood.
Speaker 2: I was pissed off. I started screaming. The hall people
Speaker 2: are staying there laugh and they think it's funny. Nothing's
Speaker 2: funny like this or anything like that. And nowadays everything
Speaker 2: is a joke and it's not funny. How would day
Speaker 2: like it if somebody took a trophy from them, from somebody,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, or took something away that
Speaker 2: was that that you liked and everything else. You know,
Speaker 2: everybody thinks everything is a joke, and Jeremy's right about
Speaker 2: you know, you get these media people on Facebook, They're
Speaker 2: on social media. Everything's a joke. It's not funny. Car
Speaker 2: acts and somebody has a car accid. They think it's
Speaker 2: a joke. It's not funny. Right, Yes, I'm up tonight.
Speaker 2: It's not funny. Religion, my wife even laughing, you know.
Speaker 3: Okay, Religion has no place in the Olympics, like it
Speaker 3: shouldn't have in media, nor should it have in politics, right,
Speaker 3: and the optics of it to those of us that
Speaker 3: are Christians, we were offended and I'll leave it at that.
Speaker 3: But at the same time, this is not the time
Speaker 3: or place to get into that. We can use any
Speaker 3: opinion show, but this is a news show, right right.
Speaker 1: Okay, guys, were ready or is there anything else that
Speaker 1: we really want to talk about.
Speaker 2: Before we go to I'm ready to go. I'm ready
Speaker 2: for my town. Okay, Paddy, so she likes it when
Speaker 2: I'm fired up. That's right.
Speaker 3: His nickname is Patty Is. He's from right here in
Speaker 3: Grand Blank, Michigan, right around the corner from me.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, great.
Speaker 3: But uh, at the same time, in my town. You
Speaker 3: know what, I am so happy that none of those
Speaker 3: injuries were as egregiously overstated by the media. For what
Speaker 3: happened to the Lions players this week at practice. It's
Speaker 3: a peck strain for Arnold, He's already back at practice.
Speaker 3: It was an ankle strain, not a sprain. For Ray Castraw.
Speaker 3: He's back at practice and playing again. And Hendon Hooker
Speaker 3: has been on the side, throwing with the coaches the
Speaker 3: entire time and throwing with one migracy mechanics. I know
Speaker 3: you love that name.
Speaker 2: I made fun of it when he was getting drafted,
Speaker 2: had Hooker.
Speaker 3: You know, it's a great name and it is funny
Speaker 3: to say. But at the same time, yes, Buddy conkto,
Speaker 3: she is a Packers fan. She is from Wisconsin. Yes,
Speaker 3: is it Appleton is where you're from.
Speaker 1: No, I'm from the Milwaukee area, the suburb of Milwaukee. Yes,
Speaker 1: Ralph one.
Speaker 2: Of the top five drinking towns in this country. Milwaukee,
Speaker 2: mm hmm. Pittsburgh Saint Louis. I can name you a few,
Speaker 2: you know, so all right, my town. Well, the Steelers
Speaker 2: announced today Mediocre Mike announced that Russell Wilson will play
Speaker 2: on Saturday. I'm not sure how long or how many,
Speaker 2: but he will be in the game. It's good to
Speaker 2: see him back and getting into the groove of things,
Speaker 2: and he he's excited, so are the fans to see
Speaker 2: what Russell Wilson's gonna do. Uh you know, for this
Speaker 2: preseason game, I don't see much of a play. Nate Harbick,
Speaker 2: are so called starting center right now, has an upper
Speaker 2: body and every so. Zach Frazier will be playing a
Speaker 2: lot more this Saturday, which is great to hear because
Speaker 2: he's a great young guy and very powerful. I watched
Speaker 2: him block and I tell you what, this guy is
Speaker 2: really amazing. He's gonna be another Demonti Dawson. He's going
Speaker 2: to be another Marquise Pouncy or another Mike Webster some
Speaker 2: of our and Jeff Hardings. We've had some great centers
Speaker 2: over the years, and you know, so, I think he's
Speaker 2: going to fit in that mold real soon. I like
Speaker 2: our offensive line, but I think that's gonna happen. And
Speaker 2: then you have the pirates here who glue, who have
Speaker 2: blown ten games, and let's see if Skeens can get
Speaker 2: back up and go in here on Friday. Skeens pitch
Speaker 2: is great. Then the bullpen comes in. They either do
Speaker 2: something wrong or we can't get uh, we can't do
Speaker 2: anything anything at all with offense or anything to help
Speaker 2: the guy. Yes orang j thank you for that. Thank
Speaker 2: you for also participating in my shows. I really appreciate you. Uh,
Speaker 2: but you know, anyway, Uh, that's what's going on. And
Speaker 2: then I was announced recently Chris Latang has asked for
Speaker 2: a trade from the Penguins, and to be frankly honest
Speaker 2: with you, that's fine with me. If we could get
Speaker 2: some some players for him, younger players, that's great. He
Speaker 2: wants to be traded to a Canadian team because he's
Speaker 2: from Canada, so he wants to play there. And then
Speaker 2: Malkin has announced that he'll retire after his contract's over,
Speaker 2: and he's going to rush her to play there and
Speaker 2: he's going to you know, plant his roots there and
Speaker 2: stay there. So you know there you go. Yeah, Well,
Speaker 2: I hope I hope he doesn't become as messed up
Speaker 2: in the head, as Mike Webster was because, as I've
Speaker 2: mentioned before, I was his personal cab driver. Sad to
Speaker 2: see him pass like like you did.
Speaker 3: He means as a player with that statement.
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, Zach Fraser is gonna be It's gonna be
Speaker 2: a top knots center. I think he's It was a
Speaker 2: great draft pick, you know, I was. I was surprised
Speaker 2: it was still available, and I'm glad that we got him, uh,
Speaker 2: you know, but arrest than somebody else, you know. So
Speaker 2: Juju Smith Schuster sitting out there, I'm waiting for the
Speaker 2: Steelers to bring him back. See what happens. We might
Speaker 2: we might have to yeah, uh you.
Speaker 3: Know what, and let them toot their horn. This is probably,
Speaker 3: on paper, the best offense the Bears fans have seen
Speaker 3: in their lifetime. I'm not even gonna joke about it.
Speaker 3: But at the same time, I'm not as high on
Speaker 3: their own line, just like I'm not as high on
Speaker 3: Minnesota's own life. And that at that.
Speaker 2: That's the problem with some of these teams, Jeremy. They
Speaker 2: don't they don't strengthen their offensive one A quarterback has
Speaker 2: to get beat up all the time. Look at Cincinnati,
Speaker 2: how many times their offensive line was bad. They went
Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl and got exposed. I told everybody that,
Speaker 2: nobody believed me, and then you know, they get in
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl and they get exposed.
Speaker 3: So I mean, you know, if Jesse Bates didn't channel
Speaker 3: his energy Quisy Tart, the Bengals win that Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely. And then on top of that, now they
Speaker 2: have in the last two drafts, you know, drafted offensive
Speaker 2: line just like the Steelers have. But that that memes
Speaker 2: they took that at la Darius mess He's hurt now.
Speaker 2: I don't know how long he's going to be out,
Speaker 2: So I'm glad we didn't get memes.
Speaker 3: Broski Bears says Penn State at West Virginia August thirty first, Yes, that's.
Speaker 2: Going to be a great game. Great game. I had
Speaker 2: two people on my show because I did a college
Speaker 2: football special that I do every year. I have somebody
Speaker 2: from pitt Penn State in West Virginia, and uh, when
Speaker 2: the West Virginia and the Penn State guys both step
Speaker 2: back and forth, that game is going to be a
Speaker 2: dog fight. Right.
Speaker 3: West Virginia is not a slouch team like everybody thinks
Speaker 3: it is.
Speaker 2: Not anymore, Jeremy Neil Brown stated, this job.
Speaker 3: You know, but they're just the team that's like just
Speaker 3: outside the cusp of being great is what they are.
Speaker 3: A very good team. They play some guys really hard
Speaker 3: and I hope they do.
Speaker 2: Well and they and they recruit well too. And the
Speaker 2: reason why they recruit well is because they're in a
Speaker 2: college town. And you know, Pitt has trouble recruiting because
Speaker 2: they only draw thirty thousand fans at Acrosure Stadium. You know,
Speaker 2: kids want to be in like in Colorado where they
Speaker 2: sell out, or in West Virginia Penn State sells out
Speaker 2: every game no matter how bad they are, you know,
Speaker 2: and I mean that kind of thing. You know. I've
Speaker 2: even made a comment about the Cincinnati Bearcats. You know,
Speaker 2: they're in the city, they sell out. I don't understand
Speaker 2: what is going on here with Pitt. You know, they
Speaker 2: can't seem to draw you know, a lot, and it
Speaker 2: hurts recruiting because kids see this here. You know.
Speaker 3: Uh, that's one of the biggest draws for Michigan, Ohio's
Speaker 3: And as much as we hate to say looses in
Speaker 3: the middle of nowhere and nowhere, yes built around the college.
Speaker 2: Right, that's why it's their super Bowl every time there's
Speaker 2: a game there, Jeremy, And that's their economy. You know,
Speaker 2: these these college sounds like that, and.
Speaker 3: That's what I was getting at.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jeremy, did you do your your town?
Speaker 2: Yes? I did mine to Candy, it's your turn. Okay,
Speaker 2: what's going on in Florida.
Speaker 1: Well, it's kind of interesting you say that, because I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tie both of my towns together. So Bill Zito,
Speaker 1: who is the GM for the Florida Panthers, actually one
Speaker 1: of the that the Warder Fanthers have done. If they
Speaker 1: have allowed all of the players, all of the most
Speaker 1: of the personnel, I think at least the high ups,
Speaker 1: like the gms and coaches, they have allowed them to
Speaker 1: have the Stanley Cup for twenty four hours. So Bill
Speaker 1: Zito is actually from Milwaukee. He went to Milwaukee with
Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup, and believe it or not, he started
Speaker 1: his career as a bat boy for the Milwaukee Brewers.
Speaker 1: So he took it to Miller Park which is now
Speaker 1: American Family and showed it to many of the players
Speaker 1: and they posted a picture on the Brewers website with
Speaker 1: Bob Youker and the Stanley Cup with Bill Zito, which
Speaker 1: I think was just a really cool moment. Bob Youker
Speaker 1: has been a broadcaster for the Brewers for over fifty years.
Speaker 1: Bill Schroeder just celebrated his thirty year broadcasting with the Brewers,
Speaker 1: So I think it was just a really cool moment.
Speaker 1: And I think it was really cool for Bilziito to
Speaker 1: take it up there because obviously, let's face it, Wisconsin
Speaker 1: doesn't have an NHL team, So taking the Stanley Cup
Speaker 1: up there and sharing that experience with them, I think
Speaker 1: was just a really cool gesture considering he was a
Speaker 1: bat boy at the age of sixteen in that stadium,
Speaker 1: not even in that but up there. So the Brewers
Speaker 1: are doing pretty good. They got a blow today knowing
Speaker 1: that Christian Yelich Jordan Love played all of what a
Speaker 1: couple of plays last game. He two for two, had
Speaker 1: a touchdown a sixty three yard strike. So I mean,
Speaker 1: is is that telling no, that's not enough playing time.
Speaker 1: We'll see how much they play, how much he plays
Speaker 1: this week, I don't know. I don't even know if
Speaker 1: court coach the Floora said anything yet. They do play
Speaker 1: Denver Sunday night. It's a Sunday night game. So it'll
Speaker 1: be interesting because I'll be I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 1: My immediate boss is a Broncos fan, so it's my
Speaker 1: team playing team. But it's preseason, so really it doesn't
Speaker 1: really matter. But it's just kind of cool that fall
Speaker 1: is back.
Speaker 3: You know, the night air is getting crisper, the winds
Speaker 3: picking up, and if you listen by it very quietly,
Speaker 3: you can hear the Bears fans crying because the Packers
Speaker 3: are coming to town.
Speaker 1: I like that one.
Speaker 2: Everybody. Everybody picks on the Bears. Man, that's funny. You know.
Speaker 3: I do think they're a better team than last year.
Speaker 3: I think they have a good outside shot of sneaking
Speaker 3: into the playoffs because they do have an easy schedule.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: But at the same time, I'm gonna put this out
Speaker 3: there because there is an NFL history thing that's never
Speaker 3: been done, and that's neither team, whether they won or lost,
Speaker 3: that played in the Hall of Fame games. It's made
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl since its inception, So it doesn't matter
Speaker 3: if you win or lose that game, and you may
Speaker 3: make the playoffs, but that doesn't mean you're getting in
Speaker 3: the super Bowl. And I'll leave it at that. But
Speaker 3: I do see them winning anywhere from eight to ten
Speaker 3: games this year, just because the schedule outside the division
Speaker 3: for them is so much easier than what they've had
Speaker 3: over the last year.
Speaker 1: I think it would be a division this year. I
Speaker 1: think I think all of the Packers, Vikings, Bears, and
Speaker 1: Lions that could be a very tough division.
Speaker 3: I can see where everybody but Minnesota split because I
Speaker 3: went as bad as all the injuries have been to
Speaker 3: their defense and everything that's going on with Minnesota, they
Speaker 3: could go zero and six in this division because it's
Speaker 3: so tough and I'm not I'm not trying to be
Speaker 3: mean to Minnesota.
Speaker 1: I even I would say even before this last year
Speaker 1: that Lions have you know, really improved and is that
Speaker 1: this division always plays each other in the division very tough,
Speaker 1: no matter what kind of season anybody's having. It's a
Speaker 1: very tough, very physical games, I would say, compared to
Speaker 1: some us playing other divisions and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: I want to say thank you to Chad for joining
Speaker 3: the Chad tonight, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely as well. I want to thank everybody. I
Speaker 2: want to thank everybody for joining, and I want to
Speaker 2: thank everybody who joins in here and on Jeremy's show
Speaker 2: for coming and commenting on my show. I've got I
Speaker 2: have more subscribers now on YouTube because thanks to YouTube,
Speaker 2: because of being on these shows.
Speaker 3: Well that's what I'm all about.
Speaker 1: Networking, Yes, exactly, exactly. Well, I want to thank everybody
Speaker 1: that's in the chat room. But let's I don't think
Speaker 1: anything any parting shots anybody wants to say.
Speaker 2: I just want to say that the planning here in
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh is bad. They they need to talk to Major
Speaker 2: League Baseball. They plan a Pirate game and the NFL
Speaker 2: has a Steeler exhibition game at the same time, so
Speaker 2: they had to pump the Pirate game back to one
Speaker 2: o'clock and now we have a Steeler game at seven
Speaker 2: point thirty. This city has a bad habit of playing
Speaker 2: too many activities at one time, and then they want
Speaker 2: to know why things happen. Okay, because you do too much?
Speaker 2: All right. The Pirate game alone will sell out Saturday,
Speaker 2: because I think they're having five works and Friday nights.
Speaker 2: Paul Skins, you know that game's gonna sell out. And
Speaker 2: then we're playing the Seattle Mariners, who haven't been here
Speaker 2: since who knows when or even at all in a
Speaker 2: long time. So all the games are gonna be sold
Speaker 2: out this weekend, so you'll make your money off of that.
Speaker 2: You don't need to have drunken Steeler fans trying to
Speaker 2: you know, with pirate fans walking in and out. That's
Speaker 2: my parting shot.
Speaker 3: Thank you, DC A no name one for the update.
Speaker 3: Haven't seen you in a minute, sir, Welcome home, Welcome
Speaker 3: back to Michigan.
Speaker 2: Yes, thank you.
