Speaker 1: Sports page with The Orlando Sentinel and FM ninety six
Speaker 1: to nine in the games.
Speaker 2: Mike the Bulldog Beyondy Jr. Well, we are dogless in
Speaker 2: Orlando this morning.
Speaker 1: Dog catcher finally got him, didn't he.
Speaker 2: No dog has started his Christmas vacation, so we'll handle
Speaker 2: the sports page this morning. Brought you by Coffin and
Speaker 2: Lynd injury Attorneys. All Right, Thursday night football. Interesting situation
Speaker 2: last night. In the end, the Chargers beat the Broncos
Speaker 2: thirty four to twenty seven. Okay, it didn't look like
Speaker 2: it was going to go that way in the first half,
Speaker 2: with the Broncos jumping out to a twenty one to
Speaker 2: ten lead, and it looked like they're gonna take that
Speaker 2: in the halftime Taco. But then a twist in a
Speaker 2: very rarely seen play was executed successfully by the Chargers
Speaker 2: just before the half, The fair catch free kick.
Speaker 1: Rule was invoked, and you say, well, what's this? Okay.
Speaker 2: NFL has a rule that the team that receives a
Speaker 2: fair catch, if they so choose to do so, can
Speaker 2: take a free kick at the goal they're headed towards,
Speaker 2: with the other team not able to try to attempt
Speaker 2: to block it. It's a free kick, and if it's successful,
Speaker 2: it's three points. You rarely see this because on a
Speaker 2: fair catch, normally you're not within field goal range. As
Speaker 2: luck would have it, the Chargers were on the fringe
Speaker 2: of field goal range. Fifty seven yarder Cameron Dicker steps up,
Speaker 2: boots it closes it to twenty one thirteen at the half.
Speaker 2: Free kick successful. Last time this was attempted was in
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, I believe by the Panthers. They missed. In fact,
Speaker 2: no one has made a fair catch free kick in
Speaker 2: the NFL since Ray Wershing did it for the Chargers
Speaker 2: back in nineteen seventy six. That's amazing. So Chargers thirty four,
Speaker 2: Broncos twenty. Both teams are now nine and six.
Speaker 1: Think about that many years since somebody pulled this off
Speaker 1: and it was the exact same team.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it. Really cool stuff to get into
Speaker 2: this week of the NFL Action. We do have some
Speaker 2: Saturday games this week. Tomorrow at one o'clock, Houston travels
Speaker 2: to Kansas City and then at four point thirty Pittsburgh
Speaker 2: in Baltimore. Shot to be a farmer knocker pop o'bob.
Speaker 1: Oh, Yeah, it's gonna be a weekend at football college
Speaker 1: and pro I know later we're talking college with coach
Speaker 1: Mark Daniels.
Speaker 2: Well, then we got that coming up here. A couple
Speaker 2: other notes on the NFL as far as our in
Speaker 2: state teams go. The Jags will be in Vegas on
Speaker 2: Sunday to take on the Ravens at four twenty five.
Speaker 2: Dolphins will be hosting the forty nine Ers at hard
Speaker 2: Rock Stadium in South Florida, also a four to twenty
Speaker 2: five kickoff, And the Bucks will be in Dallas, actually
Speaker 2: Arlington to be accurate, at AT and T Stadium against
Speaker 2: the Cowboys Sunday night matchup.
Speaker 1: And what was it that Baker was awarded, like the
Speaker 1: Play of the Week or something like that. I think
Speaker 1: last week was he? Yeah something, he got some little
Speaker 1: award for being just a badass. And he's been. He's
Speaker 1: seriously been kicking ass. Hey, Jags, what's the point of
Speaker 1: them even playing this weekend? You got to play the
Speaker 1: games talking? I know, come on, you better lose it.
Speaker 1: Get the better pick, guys. Come on, all right, let's
Speaker 1: go over some college stuff here. As Taco alluded to,
Speaker 1: Mark Daniels, the voice of our UCF nights will go
Speaker 1: much more in depth coming up as we huddle up
Speaker 1: with him in the final hour of the show. We
Speaker 1: got a couple of bowl games today right here in Florida,
Speaker 1: right here in Orlando in fact, at noon, the Cure
Speaker 1: Ball Ohio and Jacksonville State. I'm sure Mark will find
Speaker 1: it interesting that neither of these two teams have their
Speaker 1: head coaches that were with them during the season, as
Speaker 1: they have moved on to new gigs. Then at three
Speaker 1: thirty over in Tampa, the Gasparilla bull it'll be two
Speaker 1: Lane and the Florida Gators. That couldn't be kind of
Speaker 1: cool a Friday at that time. Yeah, today, three thirty
Speaker 1: to be able to this afternoon, wake up from an
Speaker 1: app and go oh some football.
Speaker 2: Then tonight the first game in the brand new twelve
Speaker 2: team format of the college football Playoff. It'll be from
Speaker 2: South Bend, Indiana. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have Indiana
Speaker 2: coming in, so it's an all Indiana show tonight, eight
Speaker 2: o'clock there in South Bend. Ought to be a little
Speaker 2: bit on the Nipley side, I think, oh my god. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The other first round playoff games are all tomorrow, starting
Speaker 2: at noon. SMU will be at Penn State. Four o'clock,
Speaker 2: Clemson travels to Texas and then the nightcap Tennessee at
Speaker 2: Ohio State. There are some interesting side stories going on
Speaker 2: with that. Mark Daniels will elaborate coming up again in
Speaker 2: the nine o'clock hours. We huddle up with Mark. Over
Speaker 2: to the NBA. The Magic lose at home last night
Speaker 2: to the Oklahoma City Thunder one oh five ninety nine
Speaker 2: was the final Magic. We're making a furious comeback attempt
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter, but then the Thunder went on
Speaker 2: a six point run to kind of ice things.
Speaker 1: And beat them by six.
Speaker 2: But again not to sugarcoat it.
Speaker 1: At least the Magic are playing without some of their
Speaker 1: key points and still sticking in like that.
Speaker 2: That's good. Next up, the Magic home Saturday nights against
Speaker 2: the Miami Heats. Hated Heat NHL notes. Tampa Bay Lightning
Speaker 2: prevailed at home last night three to one over the
Speaker 2: Saint Louis Blues. Nikita Kucharov had a pair of assists
Speaker 2: to lead the Lightning to the win. Their next action
Speaker 2: will be home on Sunday afternoon against the Florida Panthers.
Speaker 2: So we got in state rivalries this weekend in both
Speaker 2: the NBA and NHL. I like it. That would be
Speaker 2: your sports page for the sporting You're not gonna.
Speaker 1: I was gonna, you know what, in honor of the dog,
Speaker 1: just like this is his little Merry Christmas to you.
