Speaker 5: apparel deal.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 5: He's the five star that committed to Arizona State kind
Speaker 5: of out of nowhere.
Speaker 2: Yeah so he so he was a former Arizona guy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I believe. So Arizona got some other recruits. Yeah,
Speaker 5: he committed chose to Sunday. What's the price on that?

Speaker 5: footwear and apparel.
Speaker 2: So he's setting himself up. Isn't it Good to be
Speaker 2: an American? Now? Good to be in America.
Speaker 3: Listen, I've told you last week.
Speaker 6: I used to get three dollars per diem on the
Speaker 6: track seat and I had to sign a note that
Speaker 6: it wasn't a that I wasn't getting paid these guys, I,
Speaker 6: you know, more power to him. Really, it's this is
Speaker 6: an opportunity once in a lifetime.
Speaker 3: Uh, you know, people get a chance.
Speaker 6: I believe in athletes, you know, taking advantage of their
Speaker 6: skill set when they can.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: There we go.
Speaker 5: To some Arizona Athletic news. The cross country team had
Speaker 5: their invitational last week on Saturday, the Highlander Invitational Riverside, California.
Speaker 5: The men's team one took first place with the total
Speaker 5: score of sixty five points. Gideon and I I believe
Speaker 5: this is his last name, won the individual eight K
Speaker 5: with the personal best twenty three forty two eight.
Speaker 6: That's moving so ak is just under five miles and
Speaker 6: so that is you know, probably four to forty a
Speaker 6: mile pace. So the when you're when you're coaching so
Speaker 6: Bernard that gott is the coach of that team, and
Speaker 6: he's coaching them to be ready for the Big Twelve
Speaker 6: Championships next week and then hopefully they qualify for the
Speaker 6: national meet. But you really want your athletes, you know,
Speaker 6: to peak at this time of the season.
Speaker 3: Football, you want to come out strong.
Speaker 6: It's a long season, but cross country track some of
Speaker 6: these long you want to peak at the right season.
Speaker 6: You have on one meet to get to nationals and
Speaker 6: one meat to perform.
Speaker 2: I want to ask you about this, but on the
Speaker 2: other side of peaking, about peaking, do you have a
Speaker 2: lot of stuff? Relative Go ahead, I'll let you go in.
Speaker 4: The we'll probably come back to cross country.
Speaker 5: But for the volleyball team, they took on the Sun
Speaker 5: Devils last night at McHale.
Speaker 4: They lost three sets to one.
Speaker 5: I heard it was a even though seems lopsided as
Speaker 5: far as sets go, that it was a competitive match
Speaker 5: between both teams. Looking for Arizona Soccer tonight, They're going
Speaker 5: to the Sun Devils tonight at seven o'clock Sun Devil
Speaker 5: Soccer Stadium. They they're coming off a five to one
Speaker 5: victory Senior Day victory against the Kansas State Wildcats last Sunday.
Speaker 6: Let's hope they get revenge for the volleyball team. Come
Speaker 6: on soccer, let's show those sun devils.
Speaker 4: You would take over some tempe. Let's go to women's basketball.
Speaker 4: They have their first exhibition tonight.
Speaker 5: I'll be there covering it for AZ Desert Form six
Speaker 5: pm on a Friday.
Speaker 2: Nice. How was your trip to U A last week
Speaker 2: with Obama? Until I almost got stuck?
Speaker 5: I was going down Broadway and uh, I just got
Speaker 5: into the Elkon Center and I saw that it was starting.
Speaker 5: It was just about to stop, and I said, no,
Speaker 5: I gotta take a left turn. I took Aviation, kind
Speaker 5: of went around it, got back onto Broadway coming.
Speaker 4: Uh, you came from here? Yeah?
Speaker 2: How did you go to? How I took?
Speaker 3: I took you go to Green Valley, then over and
Speaker 3: then back.
Speaker 5: Up behind us one to Broadway, turned on to Broadway right, Yeah, okay,
Speaker 5: took Broadway all the way down. I got to the
Speaker 5: Elkon Center, or just past the Elcons and it was
Speaker 5: about to stop, and I said, nope, I'm not gonna
Speaker 5: get stuck in this.
Speaker 2: She went south. Yeah, you south and around. I guess, okay,
Speaker 2: that's strange to me, but okay, I.
Speaker 5: Made it on time to Women's Volleyballah, I got there about.
Speaker 3: Obama and he picked Arizona too.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well and and he heard about it from from.
Speaker 6: I'm sure yeah yeah. Back at him then center. You
Speaker 6: know that used to be a mall whant you know
Speaker 6: that right? It was Elkon Mall for that's over fifty.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know that place pretty well.
Speaker 4: My dad used to work there.
Speaker 5: But to the NBA for breaking news, Paul George is progressing,
Speaker 5: they say, but we'll at least miss two more games
Speaker 5: for the seventy six ers, So look, I.
Speaker 4: Return for one of their stars at least.
Speaker 5: I know both both him and UH and Beat have
Speaker 5: been out to start the season, but they should be
Speaker 5: getting Paul George back, but out two games or so.
Speaker 5: Another injury for the Indiana Pacers. Their center James Wiseman
Speaker 5: suffered from ACL.
Speaker 2: In their opener last probably out for the year.
Speaker 4: More than likely.
Speaker 2: Former former Golden State guys Golden.
Speaker 5: State Uh, they were looking to make him a big
Speaker 5: piece of their rotation. You know, they signed up to
Speaker 5: a two year contract. So unfortunate for him, Pacers will
Speaker 5: have to bounce back.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 5: The Lakers started off their season pretty well with the
Speaker 5: win over Blanking on the team, but Timberwolves of Oklahoma.
Speaker 5: It was the Timberwolves Tmberwolves on Tuesday. They play the
Speaker 5: Phoenix Suns tonight. But a big story from that game
Speaker 5: was that Brownie James, Lebron James got to play together.
Speaker 5: They they said today that he's gonna take the road
Speaker 5: trip through November sixth, and after that he'll be going
Speaker 5: back to the G League. Not back to but he'll
Speaker 5: start with his G League schedule with South Bay G
Speaker 5: League affiliate right after that road trip.
Speaker 3: That didn't bother me.
Speaker 6: I thought, you know, Lebron Lebron James, you're one of
Speaker 6: the best players. You know, your kid played for a
Speaker 6: couple of weeks. You know these games, you know, I
Speaker 6: love basketball, but they're sort of inconsequential at this point,
Speaker 6: you know. I mean, it's really they're they're they're waiting for,
Speaker 6: you know, March and April to put their game faces on.
Speaker 6: So why not why not have a little fun, generate
Speaker 6: a little publicity.
Speaker 5: I like the way he phrased it after the game,
Speaker 5: he said, I've given a lot to this league. I've
Speaker 5: done a lot for this league, and so for me
Speaker 5: to have tonight seemed pretty fair.
Speaker 4: I said you're right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it didn't bother me. I thought it was kind
Speaker 3: of fun.
Speaker 6: I thought it was a little overblown, you know, to
Speaker 6: have you know, Ken Griffrey junior and senior.
Speaker 3: They were legit players, you know, whereas Briannie.
Speaker 2: But I hope ye, who knows she could.
Speaker 6: I hope he hits, you know, I'm rooting for that.
Speaker 6: I I love it when when kids hit like that.
Speaker 2: You know, just what we don't have to do.
Speaker 6: It's to hit a few shots.
Speaker 5: And it was not like he just went in for
Speaker 5: a possession or two. He played significant for a benchwarmer.
Speaker 5: I think he had a triple single. I think he
Speaker 5: had like two points, a rebound and four fouls. I've
Speaker 5: never heard that had a triple single. Great Chuck Barkley,
Speaker 5: I'm a happy single. He's a triple I know. But again,
Speaker 5: some NBA action last night, Celtic starting off there championship,
Speaker 5: the defense started off to and oh beat the Wizards.
Speaker 5: Mike Spurs took lots of the Mavericks. The Mavericks did
Speaker 5: look pretty good last night. Clake Thompson came in.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah Thompson, Yeah he's pretty good.
Speaker 2: Now he has something to prove.
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, looking looking to say I'm still in this league,
Speaker 5: I'm still relevant, I'm still here to play. The Thunder
Speaker 5: took it to the Nuggets opening night seven about five minutes.
Speaker 5: With about five minutes, both teams took their starters out.
Speaker 2: Okay, see, what if you had a ticket and you
Speaker 2: paid X amount of money to go watch these games?
Speaker 2: How disappointed would you be?
Speaker 6: It would It would absolutely crush me, especially if you're
Speaker 6: going to see a player that doesn't play. You know,
Speaker 6: the NBA, where's their stars on their sleeves? I mean,
Speaker 6: so that's how they market. You know. When I'm a
Speaker 6: Pittsburgh Steelers fan or Viking whatever, I'm a fan of
Speaker 6: the team. But when you go to NBA, you're a
Speaker 6: fan of the a lot of times of the player.
Speaker 5: To the MLB Game two the end of October. But
Speaker 5: we're just starting the World Series tonight, Game one, the
Speaker 5: New York Yankees going up against Jay's Dodgers. Yeah, they
Speaker 5: did say today that there the Dodgers' top reliever Evan Phillips,
Speaker 5: was off of the roster. He's dealing with a injury.
Speaker 3: Okay, man, what so does he go out for the
Speaker 3: whole for the series?
Speaker 4: I think so?
Speaker 6: Yeah, oh man, what a bummer. You know, you get
Speaker 6: all the way to the to the final series.
Speaker 5: They should have enough to to account for it though.
Speaker 4: Oh sure the Dodgers. They made it there for a reason.
Speaker 3: Yep, that's absolutely true to the NFL.
Speaker 5: UH makes a match of injuries coming in coming out. Uh,
Speaker 5: Cowboys pass us for Micah Parsons is gonna miss his
Speaker 5: third game. The Vikings announced that Christian Darrisaw has turned
Speaker 5: his a c L M C L and is out
Speaker 5: for the season after their loss to the Rams last night.
Speaker 5: Jonathan Taylor is making his return this week against the
Speaker 5: Texans after an ankle injury. The big one I believe
Speaker 5: is that the Dolphins quarterback to a Tego Bayoa did
Speaker 5: clear cushion concussion protocols.
Speaker 4: He will play.
Speaker 5: Against the Cardinals on Sunday, okay, And then of course
Speaker 5: we're gonna go into Week eight starting last night for
Speaker 5: the NFL. Like we said, the Rams did beat the
Speaker 5: Vikings thirty to twenty off of and the big talk
Speaker 5: from that game was that missed face call.
Speaker 4: Face mask call. Yeah, obvious, I don't think it would
Speaker 4: have made a difference.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, but you know what did we say
Speaker 2: Arizona has hope. That would have given him a.
Speaker 6: Hope, you know, as a lifelong Vikings fan. And I'm
Speaker 6: by lifeline, I mean since six weeks since I went
Speaker 6: to a game. You know, it's frustrating it because you
Speaker 6: can absolutely see it, and it's you know, there's so
Speaker 6: many reps on the field, so many cameras that reviewable.
Speaker 3: It's not reviewable.
Speaker 2: Well it was it was a safety. Yeah, I thought
Speaker 2: also scores were that's that should have.
Speaker 6: Been the loophole. But it Yeah, so eight points down,
Speaker 6: minute thirty. We've all seen those comebacks and so that's
Speaker 6: what everybody's up.
Speaker 2: It had to be a perfect comeback.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: But continuing with the schedule, Sunday, we got the Falcons
Speaker 5: going against the Buccaneers. They give us that thrilling Thursday
Speaker 5: night game a couple of weeks ago. Her cousin threw
Speaker 5: for five hundred yards something like that. Chiefs going to
Speaker 5: the Raiders, Bears visiting the Commanders would be part of
Speaker 5: the Friday Picks. Cowboys forty nine Ers classic matchup in
Speaker 5: Santa Clara, and then two week nine for college football,
Speaker 5: like we talked about with our guest earlier, Boys just
Speaker 5: State UNLV pretty big matchup. Both of those teams have
Speaker 5: a chance at that group of five spot in the
Speaker 5: twelve team playoff. Notre Dame going to going up against
Speaker 5: number twenty four and undefeated Navy, Oregon hosting Illinois, and
Speaker 5: Texas going to a dangerous Vanderbilt team. They're ranked for
Speaker 5: the first time in a good while number twenty five.
Speaker 3: And yeah, there we go, right on. Well done.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let me tell you, we have three minutes, four minutes.
Speaker 2: So you were talking about you gonna have to jog
Speaker 2: my memory talking peaking at the Holy crap, you're not
Speaker 2: that all I forget. I say hello, and I said,
Speaker 2: who are you peaking at the right time? Okay, So
Speaker 2: I don't believe and stuff like that to a degree.
Speaker 2: But the way you phrased it, it's more about individual play,
Speaker 2: not team play. Because you're you're an individual and you
Speaker 2: you affect yourself, teams affect. It's a group of guys
Speaker 2: making it so Arizona, when they won in ninety seven,
Speaker 2: they're playing at the right time. I'm not sure they
Speaker 2: peaked at the right time in ninety eight, they're peaking
Speaker 2: at the right time, and then get their ass beat
Speaker 2: in the sweet six D eight, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So I believe that happens more individually than it does
Speaker 2: in teams because because you you as a coach, tried
Speaker 2: to make them peak at the right time, right, because
Speaker 2: there's a c and you run and you run, and
Speaker 2: teams like you know, if you're the if you're the
Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs, there's six and oh whatever it is? Right,
Speaker 2: are they peaking at the right time? We don't know
Speaker 2: what they're playing well and they're undefeated. That does my
Speaker 2: question makes sense?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Yeah, tell it. We used to say it all the time.
Speaker 6: Do you want to win in September or do you
Speaker 6: want to win in November? Which is when our state
Speaker 6: championships were. So you really you manage the season by
Speaker 6: by practicing and making sure the fundamentals are good. So
Speaker 6: if if you're the Chiefs and you're lucky, you have
Speaker 6: to get six and oh, I guarantee you they're not
Speaker 6: celebrating six and oh. They would rather be you know,
Speaker 6: four or five and in the season. So they're they're
Speaker 6: managing their season trying to show up stuff. But athletes, absolutely,
Speaker 6: you can peak.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm talking individually.
Speaker 6: Individually, athletes, you want your athletes, and it's individual sports
Speaker 6: that compete as a team, runners, swimmers to to peak
Speaker 6: where they're having their best physical performance at.
Speaker 2: The right time, and coaches make them make that happen
Speaker 2: for them and they know what it takes.
Speaker 3: And it's it's a management.
Speaker 6: It's a it's management of your workload, of your running,
Speaker 6: of your of your you know, of your practice load, diet,
Speaker 6: the amount of races or meets you swim.
Speaker 2: And it's individually, Uh, you're playing, you're you're running or
Speaker 2: swimming or whatever against yourself. Although there's there's other factors
Speaker 2: of course, right, but if you're a football team, a
Speaker 2: basketball team, guess what, you're a pretty good team. Guess what,
Speaker 2: the other team is pretty good too, and they want
Speaker 2: to beat the hell out of you. In running, you're running,
Speaker 2: you're running against yourself.
Speaker 6: In time, you're running against yourself. And you know you're
Speaker 6: running as a group of people scoring points. They scored
Speaker 6: sixty five points in their in their cross countries. And
Speaker 6: I think in the team, you want to have that
Speaker 6: cohesion happen at the right time. So when the ninety
Speaker 6: seven Wildcats hit, you know they coalesced as a team.
Speaker 6: You know everything happened, right, Luke got them to be
Speaker 6: there at the right time. Ninety eight they hit another
Speaker 6: team that was that was hitting at the right time exactly.
Speaker 2: You you have forces that just hit at the wrong time,
Speaker 2: right time or whatever, right and things just happen. You
Speaker 2: peak at the right time for teams. To me, doesn't
Speaker 2: make any sense.
Speaker 6: So yeah, So so people like to peak, you know,
Speaker 6: they're they're they're at their peak performance.
Speaker 3: They're at their most fine too.
Speaker 2: But you guys, as runners, swimmers or whatever, you have
Speaker 2: a system that makes that happen. If that's the case,
Speaker 2: Arizona basketball peaks every time in November.
Speaker 6: Right, and then so what's the point You don't want
Speaker 6: to do that, but you don't want to come out
Speaker 6: the gate, my athletes, but.
Speaker 2: You also don't want to.
Speaker 6: Lose too, well, you don't, but you also don't want
Speaker 6: to like, you know, have your best games in November.
Speaker 2: Just what Arizona does.
Speaker 4: That's what they do.
Speaker 6: You don't want to have your best race in November
Speaker 6: when or you know, in September. If you're a runner
Speaker 6: in the States and you don't want to have you
Speaker 6: don't want to pr then you want to pr at the.
Speaker 2: And That's why I believe it don't doesn't work in
Speaker 2: getting teams situations.
Speaker 6: It's tough because you know, one's talking about injuries and
Speaker 6: you're managing all those things. I think when team sports,
Speaker 6: where it could make a difference is that cohesion, that
Speaker 6: belief in each other, that that time to come together.
Speaker 6: This is us against the world or this is us
Speaker 6: against them. That's the peak that can happen. Think it's
Speaker 6: come in you You only have how many college football
Speaker 6: games twelve maybe a year? Yeah, so you have to
Speaker 6: play everyone great, but mentally and cohesionly.
Speaker 2: So Arizona football, let's go to Resona football. Okay, they
Speaker 2: played well in the first three games. They didn't peak.
Speaker 2: They just played teams that they were better than. In
Speaker 2: my opinion, right now, they're not peaking because they're playing
Speaker 2: better teams that they're not any good. So if they
Speaker 2: won the next four games, five games, would they be
Speaker 2: peaking or just beating teams that they were better than.
Speaker 2: That's kind of my point.
Speaker 6: You're right on it's it's peaking, maybe not in sports.
Speaker 6: But are they are they coming are they coalescing, are
Speaker 6: they coming together? Are they starting to believe at the right.
Speaker 2: Time or beating teams that are better than.
Speaker 3: Are the people with losing records coming in, and we
Speaker 3: finally get a chance to play somebody who's not any good.
Speaker 2: That's That's where I'm going, because that happens all the time,
Speaker 2: doesn't it.
Speaker 3: You know, I coached in twisted my brain. I coached
Speaker 3: Nico Montoni's in high school.
Speaker 6: He's getting ready torun the New York City Marathon, and and
Speaker 6: that's November second, it's next weekend, and he is fine
Speaker 6: tuning us by you to have the absolute best race
Speaker 6: on that.
Speaker 2: Day, and so is everybody else in that race. So
Speaker 2: they're doing the same thing there he's doing. So now
Speaker 2: it's a question whether how you feel.
Speaker 6: That day I peak against your pees. It's like, let's go,
Speaker 6: but you want to have your you know, you don't
Speaker 6: want to have your best workout and race. Shoot, how
Speaker 6: wish time we have. We're already over. We're way over.
Speaker 6: We got to get out of here.

Speaker 2: We're doing okay, haven't seen you in about five six days.
Speaker 2: Your thoughts on the team now or every time I
Speaker 2: see you we talk about the team?
Speaker 7: Oh? I know, I don't know. It looks to me
Speaker 7: if they can just come out there and want to
Speaker 7: play for each other and then instead of wanting to
Speaker 7: watch the game meaning somebody else, make a play, I
Speaker 7: think they could be okay, but it's gonna be it's
Speaker 7: gonna be a They need a mindset change, you know,
Speaker 7: a mindset change, because that's that's that's what allows the problem.
Speaker 3: Okay, Hey David, this is Tim Bentley.
Speaker 6: Hey, Jim nice nice uh to.
Speaker 3: Hear from me.
Speaker 6: I was on Steve off off the air that I
Speaker 6: used to be a big fan of yours. I'm a
Speaker 6: couple of years younger than you Sabino high school, and
Speaker 6: I used to watch you and your teammates run so fast,
Speaker 6: and I just I just always admired that you guys
Speaker 6: were you guys would burn up the track over there.
Speaker 6: Rin Con relays, we'd go over there to a track
Speaker 6: meet at Sunnyside.
Speaker 3: You guys were fast, stee if these guys were.
Speaker 2: From Yeah, that's the last thing David needs is more
Speaker 2: ego boost healthy crap.
Speaker 6: Come on, you still have the high school record.
Speaker 7: I don't know, but Steve is a hater.
Speaker 3: Hey what he said he could probably beat you on
Speaker 3: a hundred meters dash. Right now, we're gonna go out
Speaker 3: here on the track.
Speaker 2: We need we need the doctors and EFTs at their hospital.
Speaker 3: We'll set it up, man.
Speaker 7: Let's go set it up.
Speaker 6: Hey, David, you know we were talking about this. You know,
Speaker 6: what do the Cats need to do and you nailed
Speaker 6: it exactly, is just play hard for us.
Speaker 3: You know Tucson wants to believe.
Speaker 6: Remind us of some adversity you went through at the
Speaker 6: u of a when maybe the team was down.
Speaker 3: What what what did the team? What did?
Speaker 6: What did the players do for each other when you
Speaker 6: would get down and have a beat streak.
Speaker 7: One of the things is we've never we never had
Speaker 7: a two three, four game losing streak. That always helped.
Speaker 7: You know, if we lost, we would lose a game
Speaker 7: winning game, lose a game won a game, things like that.
Speaker 7: I don't recall any back to back losses to where
Speaker 7: you couldn't find the goal at the end of the rain.
Speaker 7: But what I think they need to do offensively is
Speaker 7: go out there with a plan of attack, not a
Speaker 7: four of attack, because their attack is four four four
Speaker 7: four four that's it. Get it to number four, meaning
Speaker 7: get it to number four, get it to number four.
Speaker 7: And no team can survive with that type of game plan,
Speaker 7: especially at a receiver position, because, like I've been saying,
Speaker 7: if a receiver has five to ten balls in one game,
Speaker 7: that's a great game. You're running sixty or seventy plays,
Speaker 7: So he got ten catches. You got, you know, fifty
Speaker 7: sixty other players that somebody got to make happen. And
Speaker 7: if he doesn't make it happen on those ten plays,
Speaker 7: you're gonna lose. And that's what's been happening because ye
Speaker 7: had well three hundred yards the first game and he's
Speaker 7: had less than a hundred the last three or four.
Speaker 7: There there's your answer.
Speaker 2: So we had we had Lamont on the show yesterday
Speaker 2: down at the casino and we were talking. I asked
Speaker 2: him to point black Lamon, are you disappointing what you're seeing?
Speaker 2: And he was very disappointed in what he's seen, and
Speaker 2: he went through the things I see you often enough.
Speaker 2: Are you disappointed in what you're seeing?
Speaker 7: I'm extremely disappointed because Tucson was expecting much better than this.
Speaker 7: And the thing about it is that a lot of
Speaker 7: games they're not even.
Speaker 2: In right right.
Speaker 7: You know, they could probably handle some twenty one seventeen
Speaker 7: type of losses, but to get blown out and to
Speaker 7: get you know, looking like they haven't practiced right because
Speaker 7: I don't know what their scheme is. Are they a
Speaker 7: passing team or they a running team or the combination team.
Speaker 7: And I'm speaking just offensively. Defensively, I think you know
Speaker 7: to me, they play like, well, he's close to you,
Speaker 7: so you make the tackle. Then the guy breaks the tackle,
Speaker 7: and the other guy that should have been gang tackling
Speaker 7: with him has already stopped running towards him. And next
Speaker 7: thing you know, somebody's got a long run or long touchdown,
Speaker 7: touchdown pass or a key game that you know, third
Speaker 7: and fourteen and they make the first down.
Speaker 2: Well, tim real quick to your point, And maybe I
Speaker 2: didn't say it as well as Dave did here, but
Speaker 2: it's not that they're losing, it's how they're losing. To
Speaker 2: everybody's point. I looked at all you guys, and that's
Speaker 2: exactly what I feel.
Speaker 3: Right So, David, who holds who accountable?
Speaker 6: Is it the coach's job to get on that guy
Speaker 6: for not taking Is it the player who's gonna hold
Speaker 6: who accountable?
Speaker 7: That's a good question, because first of all, you gotta
Speaker 7: want to tackle somebody, You gotta want to gain some yard.
Speaker 7: Those are things that you build up during the week.
Speaker 7: From a player standpoint, that's all you can do is
Speaker 7: want to get the job done. Do you want to
Speaker 7: be the man this week or for the team for
Speaker 7: the season, that we can always count on you to
Speaker 7: come through. And to me, it seems like everybody's one. Well, no,
Speaker 7: you do it, No, you do it. It's like it
Speaker 7: it's like an NBA All Star Game. There's one hundred
Speaker 7: assists because nobody wants to take over to the fourth quarter.
Speaker 3: Exactly. That's the way they play.
Speaker 7: To me, we were talking about that they're waiting for
Speaker 7: something to happen and then they'll they're waiting to hear
Speaker 7: if they win this game, they'll they'll be bowld eligible.
Speaker 7: They're waiting to hear that.
Speaker 6: We were talking about that earlier. Tucson is just is desperate.
Speaker 6: We're hungry for a winner, and the football team is
Speaker 6: up and down, up and down. And what you just
Speaker 6: said is show us a glimpse, show us you're hungry
Speaker 6: to do this. We'll believe you, we'll get behind you,
Speaker 6: but you got to show us.
Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 14: Man.
Speaker 7: The thing, by the is is that, like I said,
Speaker 7: it comes down to wanting to they're playing like everybody's
Speaker 7: the first round draft choice. And even if you have
Speaker 7: a first round draft choice on your team, you all
Speaker 7: have one or two but everybody's playing like, hey man,
Speaker 7: I don't want to get hurt because you know, I
Speaker 7: got this NFL career that I'm thinking about. Do you
Speaker 7: think I don't have a problem with that, with that
Speaker 7: mentality as long as you're producing.
Speaker 6: I you know, you talk about this NFL career, But
Speaker 6: a lot of these players might have an NIL career
Speaker 6: and you know they got far.
Speaker 7: Well, that's another thing.
Speaker 3: Are they are they worried about?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 6: Are they looking down the road like, hey man, I
Speaker 6: might be worth a couple extra bucks at this school.
Speaker 7: Yeah, But people that get the couple extra bucks in
Speaker 7: any field are the ones that produce. Why would I
Speaker 7: give you an nil big check? And you have eighteen
Speaker 7: tackles for the season, right right? Or you have you have,
Speaker 7: you know, six hundred yards rushing in twelve games? Why
Speaker 7: am I gonna give you nil money?
Speaker 2: Know you're right, You're right.
Speaker 7: I may, I may give you some money to survive,
Speaker 7: but that's not that's not the way it should be.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you. We talked here about before you
Speaker 2: came on, maybe twenty minutes ago, and I'm talking about
Speaker 2: the body language or what would you and I were
Speaker 2: talking about the demeanor of do you're in the sidelines,
Speaker 2: right are you? And and Byron on the sidelines?
Speaker 7: No, we're we're up in the in the press box.
Speaker 2: Do you see do you see anything that maybe you
Speaker 2: give you pause of how their kind of body language
Speaker 2: or reactions to events or whatever.
Speaker 7: Without a doubt. And see the thing about it is
Speaker 7: that to me, it's like fake tough.
Speaker 4: God.
Speaker 7: You know, they'll make a tackle and then they stand
Speaker 7: up in flex and and talk trash to the other
Speaker 7: opposing team on the sideline and tell the fans to
Speaker 7: get behind me, and they play. They'll fumble, they'll throw
Speaker 7: an interception, or they'll miss a tackle. So I'm like,
Speaker 7: you know you you you want the To me, they
Speaker 7: want the fans to bring them home, meaning cheer, cheer, cheer, cheer,
Speaker 7: pup us up, pop us up, and not give the
Speaker 7: fans subjance to cheer about, which is the way it's
Speaker 7: supposed to be. They're they're wanting the fans to pump
Speaker 7: them up. So every time you turn around, they're doing
Speaker 7: the signal for come on the cheer, but they don't
Speaker 7: have anything to cheer for.
Speaker 6: Hey, David, you're you're sitting up there watching each each
Speaker 6: week is there one thing you change? I mean, if
Speaker 6: you could, let's just say this, you can change one
Speaker 6: thing that's going to make a difference.
Speaker 3: What's one thing you would change?
Speaker 7: I would just I would decide, am I gonna be
Speaker 7: a running team? Or am I gonna be a passing team?
Speaker 7: That's what I would do. I know, I know football
Speaker 7: inside and out, and I don't know what kind of
Speaker 7: team they are. I don't know what they're trying to do.
Speaker 2: Well, where do you go with that? Right? Who do
Speaker 2: you go?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 7: It's true? Come out and passed? Are they gonna come
Speaker 7: out and and and and uh run? You know so
Speaker 7: it's tough.
Speaker 6: Well, let's do this. Let's make you a coach for
Speaker 6: one day. What do you do, uh to give them
Speaker 6: the win tomorrow? What's the one change you do.
Speaker 7: Besides touss everybody out?
Speaker 2: You know what? And that's a start?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, totally. Let's let's dress him down.
Speaker 7: I wouldn't let him know. I would let him know
Speaker 7: that nobody's job is safe. Nobody job is safe. Let's
Speaker 7: say who wants to play?
Speaker 2: Right? Right? I get a feeling that.
Speaker 7: When I say nobody. When I say nobody, I mean nobody,
Speaker 7: not not a, Well, nobody jobs say, but these two
Speaker 7: guys and this guy because he was all backed in,
Speaker 7: he was this, he was a ain't nobody's job to say,
Speaker 7: not a single person.
Speaker 2: Well, I think that they're gonna include that include me.
Speaker 7: As the coach. My job ain't even thinking we don't
Speaker 7: turn this around?
Speaker 2: Right, No, that's really that's around. Well, let me tell you,
Speaker 2: I think that they're gonna do something that you've been
Speaker 2: asking for. Let's run the ball more. I think that
Speaker 2: will happen tomorrow. But then again, Dave, Okay, so they win,
Speaker 2: they win, and they think, well, they're supposed to win.
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, but you know that they were supposed to
Speaker 7: win all year long. You see what I'm saying. Yeah,
Speaker 7: when you when let me tell you, when you're supposed
Speaker 7: to win, when the zero's come up there and you
Speaker 7: have more points than maybe, that's when you're supposed to win.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's how there is to it.
Speaker 6: So yeah, you know, and I David, you said it too.
Speaker 6: Is like you know, even if they if they lose
Speaker 6: a game, you know, twenty one to seventeen is a
Speaker 6: whole lot easier to swallow than thirty.
Speaker 3: Seven to eight or whatever that was.
Speaker 7: Without a doubt. Yeah, and watch watch not only the
Speaker 7: demeanor of running on and off the field, but watch
Speaker 7: how if the fans aren't into it, they really go
Speaker 7: into the into the tank because they're constantly trying to
Speaker 7: get the fans to cheer. And then the fans are like,
Speaker 7: in the first quarter, yeah, yeah, let's do it. This
Speaker 7: is gonna be our day. This is gonna be our day.
Speaker 7: Next thing, you know, in the second quarter, well, you know,
Speaker 7: I don't know, it may not be our day. And
Speaker 7: then everybody falls falls right off the cliff.
Speaker 2: And then the fans are saying what's going on at
Speaker 2: dirt bags.
Speaker 7: Saying, you know what, the best place to watch this
Speaker 7: game is that my seven year screen at home. Yeah,
Speaker 7: because the least I can fall asleep and comfort and
Speaker 7: not in the heat.
Speaker 2: Hey Dave, Yeah, thanks a bunch, man, have a good weekend.
Speaker 7: No problem, all right, you guys do the same.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you, David Adams. We've got to get out
Speaker 2: of here. Well, well we've got about a minute, maybe
Speaker 2: thirty seconds, so kind of like he's being realistic.
Speaker 3: You know, and and he is, He's like, hey man,
Speaker 3: nobody's safe. I like that.
Speaker 6: It's it's like you know you big you big ticket guys.
Speaker 6: You guys that are having some good tats. We may
Speaker 6: just swap it all out.
Speaker 2: Let's burn it down, So Tim and one, that's easy
Speaker 2: for two dudes, three dudes in a room, uh doing
Speaker 2: a radio and not in the room telling them what
Speaker 2: to do. Let me say that, but that's maybe something
Speaker 2: that they should do because guess what's on the line.
Speaker 2: Everything's on the line.
Speaker 6: But they're past having a pass in my mind. I mean,
Speaker 6: like you know, like they last season to this season.
Speaker 6: You know, they don't really get a pass. The new
Speaker 6: coach you had, you had some good tools, so they
Speaker 6: don't get a pass. I mean, it's it's gonna be tough.
Speaker 2: Let me give you this example, and this is probably
Speaker 2: many years ago. I was traveling to cover a team
Speaker 2: on the airplane and at the back and this woman
Speaker 2: had a little kid who was very cranky and crying,
Speaker 2: and you know it happens all the time, right, And
Speaker 2: some guy got up and we're trying to get another
Speaker 2: thing and he says he says, just kind of loud,
Speaker 2: and I was just next to him. So if that
Speaker 2: was my son, I would I would yank it out
Speaker 2: with spanking and I turned him says, no, you wouldn't
Speaker 2: because one the first person off off this plane would
Speaker 2: be you, with cops waiting for them. You can't discipline
Speaker 2: people like that.
Speaker 4: You can't.
Speaker 2: And that was another dude telling to somebody else how
Speaker 2: to raise their child. So now here we are doing
Speaker 2: what we do, telling the coach how to treat his players.
Speaker 6: I think we've even made David Adams a coach second
Speaker 6: the idea.
Speaker 2: But you know what I'm saying, it's hard to tell
Speaker 2: other people how to coach your tanks. But we see
Speaker 2: things and we probably wouldn't be allowed to do things,
Speaker 2: and nor would we do it to our own kids.
Speaker 2: Does that make sense right?
Speaker 6: And that's the beauty of this. Three guys in the
Speaker 6: room talking about this. We don't know what goes on
Speaker 6: in the room. We don't know what the.
Speaker 3: Pressures that the kids are under, the coaches are under earth.
Speaker 2: And maybe he is cussing them, who knows. But we'd
Speaker 2: like to see it, or you know, hear that it's happening.
Speaker 6: I think exactly. We want to see it. We want
Speaker 6: to know the demeanor. We want to see that fire,
Speaker 6: and we know what it looks like when you see it.
Speaker 6: You don't really see we don't see.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, you're an Arizona men's basketball fan. You know

Speaker 4: Get off my rocks.
Speaker 3: Get off dann kids get out of here, Get off
Speaker 3: my dirt. We love you, Jay.
Speaker 2: Go Dodgers, Dodgers. We're gonna paint New York Dodger blue.
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Uh go, I want your pick first before.
Speaker 2: Do you already have a fatwitich for the for the week?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, So last week I was right. Arizona State
Speaker 4: lost to Cincinnati.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, did they cover? Don't know? I can't remember then,
Speaker 2: remember because they didn't have the quarterback right, Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'd pick out right for wins. And this week I'm
Speaker 2: gonna go.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be looking at the LSU Tigers, visiting the
Speaker 5: A and m Aggie's both looking probably if they win
Speaker 5: this game, looking at the spot in the playoffs.
Speaker 4: Give me the Texas A and m Aggie's LSU Tigers.
Speaker 2: I didn't even see that game. I don't like that game,
Speaker 2: so I left alone. Okay, so we tired last week,
Speaker 2: so he still has a one game lead on me,
Speaker 2: even though we're not doing very well.
Speaker 4: I'll go ahead and go first, so Jay gets to start.
Speaker 4: So you can't. You can't.
Speaker 5: You can't blame me for any of your picks going
Speaker 5: bad this week since I'm going first. Uh, we're gonna
Speaker 5: look at Indiana and Washington. It's the game day game
Speaker 5: of the week. Uh, Indiana's undefeated, jad Fish coming off
Speaker 5: of bye week and a rough loss giving up forty
Speaker 5: to Iowa. Know him for punting in Iowa. Uh maybe
Speaker 5: maybe it's a little bit of still with Fish leaving Tucson.
Speaker 5: But give me the Indiana Hoosiers. They're favored by six.
Speaker 5: I believe it's the where it's at six and a half,
Speaker 5: six and a half. Give me Indiana at home staying undefeated.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, I'm going with the same game, taking Indiana minus
Speaker 2: six and a half over Washington as well.
Speaker 4: The game is where at Indiana.
Speaker 2: Okay, So that's that's another good guy.
Speaker 3: They're going to be rich.
Speaker 4: No, that's that's also my luck for the week.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 6: I think you guys, I think that's the right pick.
Speaker 6: I think Indiana is legit. I think they're for real.
Speaker 2: So I got a feeling that coach won't be there
Speaker 2: two more months.
Speaker 6: You know, we've been talking about players moving, the coaches
Speaker 6: moved too. So yeah, I think he's he's made some money.
Speaker 4: He says it. All he does is win. Look him up.
Speaker 4: I'm next right, yeah, next game.
Speaker 5: Looking at the Illinois fighting Lion and I going to
Speaker 5: the Oregan first to Oregon Ducks, which is Ducks, our
Speaker 5: favorite at twenty two and a half.
Speaker 2: I believe he's going with Ducks. He's going with Illinois. Wow,
Speaker 2: where's the game at Oregon? What's the stadium?
Speaker 3: You know the Ducks covered last week.
Speaker 6: I was looking at that game and they covered their
Speaker 6: number and it was like thirty, So I mean they're
Speaker 6: not afraid to score.
Speaker 5: I like Jase Pick because I don't gotta feel like yeah,
Speaker 5: I think I'm sure the reason he chose was also
Speaker 5: the uniforms. You know, they're wearing the breast cancer fight
Speaker 5: back duck look something like that.
Speaker 4: So give me Illinois.
Speaker 2: Yea, Okay, they're gonna be good.
Speaker 10: All right.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna stick with the college my only other college game,
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna go with b YU. They're playing UCF
Speaker 2: I think, on the road and they're getting two and
Speaker 2: a half. It's not out of points. But I'm gonna
Speaker 2: ride the b YU train until it falls off.
Speaker 5: Okay, well you go ahead, ride that train. I'm gonna
Speaker 5: keep writing the texts this long form train.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, if he does that.
Speaker 5: Sticking with them until they prove me wrong. Who they
Speaker 5: go to Vanderbilt the fifth rank Vanderbilt.
Speaker 2: Well, van Belt the be guests. I haven't seen the line.
Speaker 3: Sixteen nineteen and it's at Vanderbilt.
Speaker 4: Vanderbilt they have netting up for the visiting fans.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what do you think? I mean? I was
Speaker 2: kind of out around that wasn't even close sixteen nineteen.
Speaker 2: But ben is pretty good, better better than they've ever been.
Speaker 2: They're ranked for a reason. Yeah, they're bet they're better
Speaker 2: than they ever been. But Texas taking it taking it
Speaker 2: last week badly, you know, I mean.
Speaker 3: Who knows, you know, like do you come back mad?
Speaker 3: Do you come back?
Speaker 7: Like?
Speaker 18: What what do you do?
Speaker 10: You know?
Speaker 3: And on the road, it's on the road, you know.
Speaker 6: If they went Vanderbilts, you know, maybe a little Enthusedah,
Speaker 6: look at them, they lost. You know, we can get
Speaker 6: them too. I think Vanderbilt loses, but I think they cover.
Speaker 6: I think you could. You know, Jay disagrees, But well,
Speaker 6: when there's.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna write it down right now, mark it down medium.
Speaker 5: Rare, please, Texas long corns. Uh getting it over the
Speaker 5: Vanderbilt Commodores twenty fifth right? Uh, that that's the Nanting's
Speaker 5: not going to stop Texas this week?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 12: Is it?
Speaker 6: Maybe they put the Nanning up so that the fans
Speaker 6: wouldn't tear down the goal post when Vanderblt wins.
Speaker 4: Maybe that's.
Speaker 2: Okay. So now, pro I don't even know what I
Speaker 2: want to do. I think I want to do this one.
Speaker 3: Don't be afraid. Let's just go.
Speaker 2: No, it's it's this is.
Speaker 3: Therapy.

Speaker 2: Again, going to Sizzler baby, all you can eat? Where's
Speaker 2: the sizzler down there?
Speaker 5: If that was Jay, I'd like that pick because the
Speaker 5: Broncos just slightly underperformed at home this year. Okay, so
Speaker 5: you know that I'll have to change my pick. So yeah,
Speaker 5: it's stick with your pick, please, thank you very much.
Speaker 5: That's what Jay would say. More than likely his first
Speaker 5: NFL game. He's looking at the Giants and the Steelers
Speaker 5: Monday Night football, Steelers at five and a half. Give
Speaker 5: him the Steelers. There's actually scoring points now, actually scoring.
Speaker 5: Wilson came in last week. They played the Giants this week.

Speaker 2: Cowboys were like there, here was one of wildcats. You
Speaker 2: always if you're a Wildcat, if you're a Cowboys fan,
Speaker 2: all you have is hope. You've had hope for the
Speaker 2: last twenty seven years.
Speaker 3: That they are they're exactly like us years.
Speaker 2: I've said this for years. Well, actually more of the
Speaker 2: basketball program than it is football program.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'm with you, I'm I'm rock Party.
Speaker 6: Let's go Phoenix. I think I think he held the
Speaker 6: state record. Rock Party held the state passing record until
Speaker 6: his brother broke it.
Speaker 4: Well, okay, where did his brother end up?
Speaker 6: Do you remember something I think they both went to
Speaker 6: Iowa State or the Iowa guys, and they both threw
Speaker 6: for like twelve or thirteen thousand yards in high school
Speaker 6: and maybe somebody else has broken it since then, you
Speaker 6: know the way kids pass these days.
Speaker 5: But it was about five inches taller. I probably would
Speaker 5: have done that too, That's what That's what jay, I
Speaker 5: guarantee you. I was a little bit tolert. Could he
Speaker 5: could have gone.
Speaker 3: When I kept throwing it to my hand, and you
Speaker 3: know it would have been pretty good.
Speaker 7: All right.
Speaker 5: So give them the week, right, yeah, give them the week.
Speaker 5: The Bears visiting the Commanders. One twenty five kickoff Commanders
Speaker 5: or the Chicago actually is favored right now.
Speaker 4: I think one and a half.
Speaker 3: Is there is the Commander's quarterback? Is Jayden playing?
Speaker 14: Is?
Speaker 3: Is that why they're doing so?
Speaker 5: I saw saw I saw Juan saw a report that
Speaker 5: he's gearing to be ready to play. Regardless, I still
Speaker 5: think that uh Penick should have won the Heisman. It's
Speaker 5: not gonna stop me from picking the Commanders. Though Panick
Speaker 5: should have won the Heisman. I'll stick by That'll take it.
Speaker 2: I'll fight anybody, fight it till the day I die.
Speaker 4: But this week give me Daniels and the Commanders.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, even though I hate the issue, even though
Speaker 2: I hate transfer.
