Speaker 1: I opened the sports page with The Orlando Sentinel at
Speaker 1: FM ninety six nine.
Speaker 2: The games Mike the Bulldog beyond you on JR R.
Speaker 2: Bulldog Sports page brought you by a rock the bank
Speaker 2: or cash giveaways. Don't forget those will kick back in.
Speaker 2: I had nine oh five this morning, your first chance
Speaker 2: to win one thousand dollars just for rocking on the
Speaker 2: job with Jay R R. Well Bulldog. I guess there
Speaker 2: was good news but ultimately bad news last night with
Speaker 2: the return of the Frondie for the Magic.
Speaker 3: Yeah eight If Franz did return and actually looked good.
Speaker 3: He played twenty four minutes, led the Magic with twenty points.
Speaker 3: Of course, he missed the previous twenty games with that
Speaker 3: torn stomach muscle. But man, the Magic. It may be
Speaker 3: close to panic time for the Orlando Magic. They got
Speaker 3: blown out one oh one to seventy nine at home
Speaker 3: by a bad Portland team.
Speaker 2: And when the Fronz.
Speaker 3: Was looking good in his return, I'll tell you who
Speaker 3: didn't look good last night and looked very frustrated. Pallo
Speaker 3: bank Care had one of the worst games of his career,
Speaker 3: just eight points on one of fourteen shooting. One of
Speaker 3: fourteen shooting the Magic just do not look like themselves
Speaker 3: right now.
Speaker 1: They really don't. I told Pat earlier. Dog Got told
Speaker 1: Pat earlier. We just got the fronds back. Now you
Speaker 1: just need to give all them time to mesh again.
Speaker 1: This is everything's timed out perfectly. We're going to have
Speaker 1: a rock star team. Just do the three point drill
Speaker 1: like I said yesterday, where you just take two days
Speaker 1: to shoot three Could.
Speaker 2: We do an experiment? Just would you guys agree to
Speaker 2: an experiment as long as it doesn't evolve my magic signs?
Speaker 2: Oh it does. I'd like you to just put those
Speaker 2: back where they were just for the weekend to see
Speaker 2: if it gets in the winning track.
Speaker 1: There's only been two games, five game losing streak.
Speaker 2: Now we got to do something to try to break
Speaker 2: this jinx. They're staying out.
Speaker 3: I have a theory. I have a theory about the Magic.
Speaker 3: You want to hear it. I think they've lost their identity.
Speaker 3: They're no longer the dominant defensive team that they were
Speaker 3: early in the season. And I'll say this, yes, Palo
Speaker 3: and Franz are there the Magic's two best players, but
Speaker 3: the player that sets the tone for this team and
Speaker 3: the player that they need the most right now is
Speaker 3: Jalen Suggs. Guy's one of the best defenders in the league.
Speaker 3: He's on the perimeter, he's their point guard. I think
Speaker 3: they miss him more than they miss Palo and Franz
Speaker 3: when they were out.
Speaker 2: Just my theory.
Speaker 3: The theory point, we should definitely try the put the
Speaker 3: signs back in the garage.
Speaker 2: We're just we're just asking just for the weekend, Taco,
Speaker 2: see if it works. Just found them. They've got the
Speaker 2: Pistons tomorrow night. Let's see if they can get the win.
Speaker 2: I did want to point out, Taco. I didn't want
Speaker 2: to forget to include this the Lightning or playing your
Speaker 2: favorite team in NHL tonight. Oh this Chicago Blackhawks. Yes, sweet,
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 3: We couldn't name one player.
Speaker 2: Hey, Bulldog, are you gonna make it out to the
Speaker 2: rolex this weekend?
Speaker 3: I am not gonna make it out to the rolex
Speaker 3: this weekend.
Speaker 2: Okay, well we're gonna We're gonna head over to the
Speaker 2: track tomorrow. Oh good for you.
Speaker 3: How cold is it gonna be over there?
Speaker 2: My fifties during the day in your sixty.
Speaker 1: Bright Sonny, Okay, not bad?
Speaker 2: Cool cool.
Speaker 3: The Jacksonville Jaguars controversial, confusing coaching search. Looks like it's
Speaker 3: come to a conclusion. They're reportedly gonna hire Tampa Bay
Speaker 3: Bucks offensive coordinator Liam Cohen. That was reported late last
Speaker 3: night by ESPN. You want to talk about a two
Speaker 3: day sag at Cohen originally pulled himself from consideration for
Speaker 3: the jag job, then agreed to a contract extension with
Speaker 3: the Buccanteers that would have made him the NFL's highest
Speaker 3: paid coordinator, and then he changed his mind after Jacksonville
Speaker 3: fired their unpopular general manager Trent Balke. He wins the afternoon,
Speaker 3: and so he re engages with the Jaguars, goes to
Speaker 3: Jacksonville yesterday, talks to the owner, Shad Shod Cohn, and
Speaker 3: now it appears he is the new head coach of
Speaker 3: the Jaguars, and I think he could be a good
Speaker 3: coach for them. Obviously he was with the Buccaneers one year.
Speaker 3: We saw what Baker Mayfield did in one year under
Speaker 3: Liam Cohen. I mean he had a passer rating of
Speaker 3: one hundred and six point eight, which was a franchise record,
Speaker 3: had a career year forty five hundred passing yards, forty
Speaker 3: one touchdowns. So maybe the Jaguars have found a good
Speaker 3: coach here, but it took some deey. You gonna talk
Speaker 3: about soap opera? Wow?
Speaker 2: What about the what about the Dallas soap opera? Right here,
Speaker 2: it looks like it's come down to Brian Schottenheimer or
Speaker 2: maybe Kellen Moore.
Speaker 1: I think they're leading towards Schottenheimer. I believe that's just
Speaker 1: I think they should have just kept McCarthy.
Speaker 2: Quite frankly, you know, I tend to agree with you, dog,
Speaker 2: I do. It's just you know, ah.
Speaker 3: Are you guys ready to make our picks for the
Speaker 3: weekend NFL Playoff Conference Championship weekend? We got the Commanders
Speaker 3: at the Eagles in the NFC, and of course in
Speaker 3: the AFC, we have Buffalo at Kansas City. Let's start
Speaker 3: with the NFC Washington at Philadelphia. Eagles are favored by six.
Speaker 3: By the way, uh, Taco, you do prize picks? Right?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: What about what about Saquon Barkley. One hundred and thirty
Speaker 3: rushing yards is his projection? And you know what I
Speaker 3: might go. I might go more than that.
Speaker 1: I think I would too. I know that's what they projected.
Speaker 1: I heard somebody else say go more dude.
Speaker 3: Right, yet two hundred and something in the snow last week.
Speaker 3: So I think the Eagles. I would love to see
Speaker 3: the Commanders and Jayden Daniels in the Super Bowl, but
Speaker 3: I think Eagles at home. You gotta take them, don't you. Okay,
Speaker 3: dog has the Eagles? Pad who do you have?
Speaker 2: I'm only going to take the Eagles because they're at home.
Speaker 2: But after watching the Commanders last weekend do their it's
Speaker 2: hard to bet against them, man, dude, it is hard.
Speaker 3: I think they have the worst I think they have
Speaker 3: the worst rushing defense in the league. So you would
Speaker 3: think Satan is gonna go off.
Speaker 2: Just something's got to give.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. Uh you know what, I'll go Commanders.
Speaker 2: I'm going Redskins, Okay, all right, just.
Speaker 1: Just because I have Buffle jal to the Redskins.
Speaker 3: Buffalo versus the Kansas City Chiefs and of course the
Speaker 3: NFL officials, right, the Chiefs do have the officials on
Speaker 3: their Chiefs are favored by two. I'm taking the bills here,
Speaker 3: I'm with you taking the bills, and only because I've
Speaker 3: become annoyed with the Chiefs. I'm done with the Chiefs.
Speaker 3: I root against the Chiefs now because Patrick Mahomes is
Speaker 3: a flopper, and then of course they always get the
Speaker 3: publicity with Tata and now Caitlyn Clark's a fan of
Speaker 3: the Chiefs. So I'm going Bills because of my annoyance
Speaker 3: level with the Chiefs.
Speaker 2: Pat, you're going Bells to I've been at the annoyance
Speaker 2: level with the Chiefs all season, so why stop? Now,
Speaker 2: Let's go Buffalo.
Speaker 1: I'm in a tough place because you guys know, I've
Speaker 1: always been a Chiefs fan that I picked at the
Speaker 1: beginning of the year of the last five like four
Speaker 1: or five years, and but I kind of like the
Speaker 1: Bills to finally get their day where they beat Mahmie
Speaker 1: in playout.
Speaker 2: I gotta go Chiefs. Sorry, Okay, all right.
Speaker 3: By the way, did you see the NFL is considering
Speaker 3: a NBA style flopping rule because.
Speaker 2: Of my home.
Speaker 3: I don't think flops on the quarterback roughing the passer penalty.
Speaker 1: I don't think that the Rafts are going to be
Speaker 1: as lenient with them this time because they're getting so
Speaker 1: much heat, and I'm telling you, I think I think
Speaker 1: they're going to not be in on the chief side
Speaker 1: as much. And speaking of a uh the heat. What
Speaker 1: about Magic. Maybe we get Jimmy Butler. Oh God, he's
Speaker 1: not gonna want to come here.
Speaker 3: That's just what the Magic need. Come on, Diva Player.
Speaker 3: To really really set the franchise on fire, I had
Speaker 3: to try.
