Speaker 1: Good evening, everybody, and welcome to another edition of Fire Up.
Speaker 1: Are we fired up tonight or not?
Speaker 2: Sure? Yes we are, thank you Katie, we are fired
Speaker 2: up tonight. Yes we are well.
Speaker 1: I can say that Hurricane Milton is passed. I do
Speaker 1: not think for as much as people had talked about
Speaker 1: it ahead of time and how destructive and how it
Speaker 1: was a Cat five at one point, and it granted
Speaker 1: it hit Sarasota, but it hit him as a three
Speaker 1: it did. It spared Tampa Bay because actually if it
Speaker 1: would have, if it would have hit further north, the
Speaker 1: storm surge would have hit more in there. So overall,
Speaker 1: and yes, don't get me wrong, I know there was
Speaker 1: there was confirmed nineteen different tornado twisters that happened, and
Speaker 1: it hid has claimed some lives, don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: but I think it could have been a lot worse.
Speaker 3: Hers up to those that lost family members, of course,
Speaker 3: and it could have been much much worse. I'm glad
Speaker 3: you guys never lost power.
Speaker 4: I'm glad we got to have a podcast last night.
Speaker 1: Yes, he luckily never lost power.
Speaker 3: As of this morning, there was two million residents in
Speaker 3: Florida without power, and most of it was due to
Speaker 3: the nineteen tornade was not due to the hurricane.
Speaker 1: At one point, at the highest point, it was three
Speaker 1: point three million and that were without power. And I
Speaker 1: want to say I saw a figure that was a
Speaker 1: little bit higher than yours, Jeremy. At six point thirty
Speaker 1: to night there was still, like, I want to say,
Speaker 1: two point some million still without that.
Speaker 4: I was going by what a guy that lives down
Speaker 4: there said, I.
Speaker 1: Get that, I get that, but yeah, I want to
Speaker 1: say at one point, I know it was three point
Speaker 1: three million at one point. Now I still have somebody
Speaker 1: that says nearly three million are without power. It was
Speaker 1: a third hurricane to hit Florida this year. Obviously, I
Speaker 1: don't know if anybody else. I'm sure people have seen it.
Speaker 1: But it ripped off the roof off in the Trafficana field.
Speaker 2: Yes, Brightingon got hit real bad too. The Pirates lost
Speaker 2: their fence on their field, the training spring training in
Speaker 2: the back. The whole fence just went down when flew up.
Speaker 1: It unfortunately spun a tornado that touched down. A couple
Speaker 1: of them that touched down, and one hit a fifty
Speaker 1: five an older community that was modular homes and on
Speaker 1: the East coast and the problem with that is that
Speaker 1: they weren't. We weren't told to evacuate because we were
Speaker 1: on the east coast and it was hitting the west coast,
Speaker 1: so people didn't evacuate them there, and it was a
Speaker 1: deadly tornado and it is unfortunately the death toll I've
Speaker 1: seen the death tolls so far at twenty three I
Speaker 1: believe across the whole state now from that park. There
Speaker 1: was a number of them were from that park, and
Speaker 1: they're saying that we're gonna see more yet because not everybody.
Speaker 4: Did it wipe out that entire park.
Speaker 1: It wiped out quite a few of the the homes there.
Speaker 4: Yes, you know.
Speaker 2: Down the Tropic Candafield. I think that's what happened. The
Speaker 2: roof got blown off. I'm sorry, I said, I heard
Speaker 2: roof cup blown off of Tropic Candofield.
Speaker 4: That's it did.
Speaker 1: And that was where their host responders were going to
Speaker 1: be staying, so they had to move them and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. So, yes, there have been numerous There was
Speaker 1: a school that I mean at this point when this hit,
Speaker 1: obviously there was no school yesterday and for Palm Beach
Speaker 1: County they had no school yesterday. Today, they're actually not
Speaker 1: going to have school tomorrow Monday. They had a scheduled
Speaker 1: time off anyways, so but one of the middle schools.
Speaker 1: I believe the roof blew off. We've seen where it
Speaker 1: lifted a dumpster and put a dumpster on the top
Speaker 1: of a roof of a house. It's flipped over cars.
Speaker 1: It was nothing to mess with. I'm glad the death
Speaker 1: toll is hopefully won't get too much higher. I want
Speaker 1: to say hi to everybody in the chat room, Rick, Patty, Fernando.
Speaker 3: I do want to say that my buddy Den was
Speaker 3: telling me that he actually scheduled down near Tampa to
Speaker 3: have a terracotta roof put on his house, and they
Speaker 3: literally delivered the terracotta shingles on palate and unbanded him
Speaker 3: on his roof just before all these hurricanes.
Speaker 4: Had and go wow.
Speaker 3: I hope every single one of his neighbors have the
Speaker 3: best insurance ever, and he better have good insurance too,
Speaker 3: because a terracotta roof shingle flying at one hundred and
Speaker 3: ten to one hundred and thirty miles an hour and
Speaker 3: decapitate somebody go right through a wall, smash everything in
Speaker 3: that room that it hits, because it's gonna splinter like
Speaker 3: shrapnel when it hits that wall. I mean, the only
Speaker 3: walls that would be saved for brick mm hmm.
Speaker 4: But I bet you it.
Speaker 1: Cracks them mm hmmm mm hmm.
Speaker 4: It's like talk about poor planning.
Speaker 3: They tell you, guys, what four or five days before
Speaker 3: these hurricanes that they're coming. When they know because of
Speaker 3: the way the Gulf Stream and the way the currents
Speaker 3: are flowing, they know where it's going. They can crack
Speaker 3: it pretty accurately. They're usually within one hundred and fifty
Speaker 3: miles of where it's gonna make landfalls. And when it's
Speaker 3: a Cat three, there's it's not just the wind speed
Speaker 3: that the sizes the category of a hurricane. I remember
Speaker 3: this from when I lived down there.
Speaker 4: It's also the size of the eye of the storm,
Speaker 4: because the bigger the eye, the faster the wind right.
Speaker 1: Right, and it depends on the weather system that hits
Speaker 1: coming into And that's why it actually was picking up
Speaker 1: speed as it went across the state, and surprisingly it
Speaker 1: was still a hurricane when it left the state, and
Speaker 1: that's rare normally when it goes over land. That for
Speaker 1: as much as it did across the state, it normally
Speaker 1: loses its hurricane status, and this actually never did until
Speaker 1: it got out into the Atlantic and it hit some
Speaker 1: dry weather.
Speaker 3: There was some damage in Zupper Hills as well, which
Speaker 3: what's weirdest I lived in Tampa and I lived in
Speaker 3: Zupper Hills while I lived in Florida.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. But good riddance. We don't need to see
Speaker 1: any more hurricanes this year. I'd like to say.
Speaker 2: It it's vacation to Orlando.
Speaker 1: But hurricane season is through the end of November, so
Speaker 1: we still have a good month or so to go.
Speaker 1: No hurricanes on Lake Michigan. Yes, Hurricane Candy talking over
Speaker 1: sports talk. Wow, I'm just acknowledging the big event that
Speaker 1: happened down here. We are on the cell floord of
Speaker 1: Tribune YouTube channel, so yes, we were going to get
Speaker 1: to sports talk, of course, because I don't want to
Speaker 1: lose any of my guy any of our listeners here.
Speaker 1: But that was a pretty big hurricane, pretty big news
Speaker 1: event for people that live down here.
Speaker 4: And you live down there, so they got to expect
Speaker 4: you to talk about.
Speaker 1: It exactly exactly, But there is it.
Speaker 3: It's back to back hurricane. That's something we haven't seen
Speaker 3: in decades. I think they said nineteen seventy two was
Speaker 3: the last time when you guys had a minor one
Speaker 3: come through and then that big one that actually did
Speaker 3: a lot of damage. This one was just the opposite.
Speaker 3: And in a way, that's a blessing. But nineteen tornadoes,
Speaker 3: that's it's almost unhearded.
Speaker 1: It is yes, no, you're you're fine, Joseph, No, you're right.
Speaker 1: It is very unheard of that it spawns that many,
Speaker 1: and it's been known to spawn tornadoes, but they were
Speaker 1: of lesser magnitudes, and these were really powerful ones. If
Speaker 1: you see some of the footage, you'll it's pretty incredible,
Speaker 1: the footage that you see these days.
Speaker 3: But if it was nineteen tornadoes, but I think almost
Speaker 3: thirteen of them were of the F one variety, the
Speaker 3: very tiny ones that do minimal damage and they're just
Speaker 3: high winds. Basically, anything loose can be hurt from those,
Speaker 3: you know, tornadoes. That's something I can talk about Michigan
Speaker 3: as much as anybody wants to say about it. We
Speaker 3: had one of the worst day for tornadoes in American
Speaker 3: history back in nineteen fifty four.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm mm hmmm. I think we are I think
Speaker 1: we set one of our records though, because I know
Speaker 1: we had over one hundred and thirteen tornado warnings in
Speaker 1: the state and one day. I think that's one of
Speaker 1: the that's like a record. But neither there, Neither here
Speaker 1: nor there. Let's let's move on to let's do some
Speaker 1: sports talk because ins Fernando wants some sports talk here.
Speaker 1: What's going on right now? Let's start with the MLB playoffs,
Speaker 1: because it is going on right now. Oh, I got
Speaker 1: a question for the three of you. Well, Rick, can
Speaker 1: you hold that question because we're gonna start with MLB playoffs,
Speaker 1: but we will get to NFL and quarterbacks. So let's
Speaker 1: start though with MLB. Unfortunately, the Tigers did lose tonight,
Speaker 1: but they are the series is tied to too, so it
Speaker 1: goes now back to the Guardians to Cleveland. What are
Speaker 1: you guys thinking about Game five?
Speaker 3: You know this will be one of those times when
Speaker 3: switching players out and everything wasn't such a great deal.
Speaker 3: I kind of wanted them to go ahead and throw
Speaker 3: Schooble out there, get the game over today, and that
Speaker 3: way we could have him at Game one in four days.
Speaker 3: Because I have the feeling the Royals are gonna win
Speaker 3: the night to take it back to New York. I
Speaker 3: just the Royals played good baseball all year and the
Speaker 3: Guardians have played good baseball all year. You could say
Speaker 3: your Tigers blew it, but you know what, it was
Speaker 3: a good game. It's five to three. I had a
Speaker 3: feeling it was gonna be a higher scoring game than
Speaker 3: what we saw.
Speaker 4: We needed some players to show up, and they did that.
Speaker 1: Fit I would agree. And right now the Yankees are
Speaker 1: up to nothing over Kansas City. The Yankees lead that
Speaker 1: series to one. Oh so, Jeremy, you already said you
Speaker 1: think the Royals are gonna win. So wait, let's go
Speaker 1: back Ralph. Your take on the Tigers and Guardians.
Speaker 2: Well, I hope the Tigers, uh, you know, win again.
Speaker 2: I mean I know they lost today, Jeremy. The series
Speaker 2: isn't over yet, correct.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 2: Tie to too? Okay, what is it five or seven?
Speaker 3: Five in the divisional series? Doesn't start to the championship.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 2: I hope Detroit does well because they have a good
Speaker 2: young team, uh with some great with some good players.
Speaker 2: They've managed to balance things out better than most teams
Speaker 2: as far as being a young team goes. They have
Speaker 2: a good manager who, in my opinion, shouldn't even be
Speaker 2: in baseball. But that's my opinion. But he's doing good
Speaker 2: in Detroit, Okay, and I got to give him credit
Speaker 2: for that as well.
Speaker 1: Okay, what about it?
Speaker 3: I feel like you should go to the year or nobody. Yeah, no, no,
Speaker 3: nobody saw Detroit get the All Star break doing this.
Speaker 3: What was it point zero two percent or point two
Speaker 3: percent at the All Star break? Right, went up to
Speaker 3: like fifteen percent at the Tree deadline because they started
Speaker 3: winning after the All Star break and then they became
Speaker 3: the hottest team in baseball with out their second best
Speaker 3: pitcher in the starting rotation.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. Okay, So what about Yankees Royals? What do
Speaker 1: you think, Ralph?
Speaker 2: Well, it's good to see New York back in the
Speaker 2: fray here. They've been out for a few years, back
Speaker 2: in the playoffs, back you know, where they need to be.
Speaker 2: It's good to see that. But I like the Kansas
Speaker 2: City Royals. I always have. They've been, always been a
Speaker 2: scrampy team that has played well over the years. Another
Speaker 2: small market team that has done well for itself. And
Speaker 2: I think I like Kansas City here. I hope that
Speaker 2: they can, you know, keep it going and beat the Yankees.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, no one likes the Yankees that
Speaker 2: much anyway, so you know. But but again, the reality
Speaker 2: is they're back in in in the playoff full so
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, but the the other reality is
Speaker 2: I hope that the Kansas City Royals beat them. You know,
Speaker 2: I'm not a Yankee fan. I never have it.
Speaker 1: And Jay, we'll get to that. That's the next topic.
Speaker 1: But we're talking about the MLB Playoffs and the gentleman
Speaker 1: on the panel don't know who's retiring because I didn't
Speaker 1: tell them.
Speaker 4: I haven't by the way, that that.
Speaker 1: Huh it's you. Oh no, no, okay, okay. So back
Speaker 1: to the MLB playoffs, Padres and Dodgers. This series is
Speaker 1: tied to all now they play tomorrow, Knight. Who do
Speaker 1: we think is going to take that series?
Speaker 4: The team that scurs the most?
Speaker 2: Which teams?
Speaker 1: Again, Candy, I'm sorry, Padres Dodgers.
Speaker 2: I'm rooting for the Padres. I want to see the
Speaker 2: Dodgers go down again. I mean, you know, they overpay
Speaker 2: for for everybody every year and then they make it
Speaker 2: to the first round of the playoffs and they and
Speaker 2: they fold their tent. I mean, it's like, you know,
Speaker 2: they just they constantly do that, and I hope it
Speaker 2: happens again this year too.
Speaker 4: Well, congratulations, Darren Judge, you just got your first extra
Speaker 4: base hit of the post season with adult We.
Speaker 2: Got struck out by by who, Paul Skeen struck out right.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, so far in his career, if you
Speaker 3: look what Aaron Judge has done in the both seasons,
Speaker 3: he has more streakouts than hits. He's got more flyouts
Speaker 3: than extra base hit.
Speaker 4: So he's not zero home runs in the both seasons.
Speaker 4: You know what I said, He's the MLB's version of
Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, indeed, so yes, I I did call the Mets.
Speaker 1: I called it the Mets because, as some of you
Speaker 1: have heard on other shows that I have said, the
Speaker 1: team that beats the Brewers in the playoffs, in any
Speaker 1: of the rounds of playoffs go on to the World Series,
Speaker 1: not necessarily win it, but they go on to it.
Speaker 1: And that has happened. I believe it was like eight
Speaker 1: or nine times every time. So the Mets took the
Speaker 1: Brewers out of it. So the Mets, Yes, and the
Speaker 1: Mets beat the Phillies, which a lot of people didn't
Speaker 1: think that they.
Speaker 2: Were gonna Philly always has a great team all the time.
Speaker 1: They are currently waiting the winner of the Padres Dodgers series,
Speaker 1: and I think that'll be interesting because the Padres have
Speaker 1: been hot. But the Dodgers, you know, they they pay,
Speaker 1: They've got a bigger payroll.
Speaker 2: This might be the year that they actually do it. Candy.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, they flopped like I said before.
Speaker 2: You know, every year they get all this talent, they
Speaker 2: overpay for it and then uh, this talent gets hurt
Speaker 2: and then they ended up, you know, stinking up the
Speaker 2: joint and getting out after the first round of playoffs.
Speaker 2: Kind of like another team in football that that's from
Speaker 2: my area.
Speaker 3: Here, my parlay already failed. I had Aaron Judge not
Speaker 3: getting an extra base hit. He just did it. So
Speaker 3: my parlay is done.
Speaker 1: Okay, anything else from the playoff MLB playoffs.
Speaker 3: That we want to talk about, not particularly I mean,
Speaker 3: you got the Padres and Dodgers. It's probably the best
Speaker 3: matchup in this series. Is why it's not It up
Speaker 3: to I mean and the Tigers. They had the Guardian's
Speaker 3: number coming down the stretch. We had to beat the
Speaker 3: Guardians to get in the position we were at get
Speaker 3: into the playoffs because we were at that point where
Speaker 3: it was a fifty to fifty thing if they'd make it.
Speaker 4: When we played them and we won two out of three, then.
Speaker 1: Okay. So not a sport we talk about very often.
Speaker 2: Bolt, what's that bowling?
Speaker 1: No, we are going on to the next topic, the
Speaker 1: retirement topic, because everybody wants to know what we're talking about.
Speaker 1: Who's retiring. It was announced today that I would say,
Speaker 1: one of the better tennis players in the men's game,
Speaker 1: Rafael Nadal, announced his retirement. He's retirment after in November,
Speaker 1: after the Davis Cup. He has pretty much.
Speaker 4: Actually not that surprising.
Speaker 2: NBA. I like that one from Jade, that was a
Speaker 2: good one.
Speaker 4: That was good.
Speaker 2: But the WNBA has been resurrected now thanks to a
Speaker 2: few players.
Speaker 4: Do in particular this season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark. Wasn't for them to.
Speaker 1: Correct. So Nadal has played professional tennis for twenty three years.
Speaker 1: He has garnered twenty two Grand Slam championships as well
Speaker 1: as thirty six Masters one thousand titles. He's thirty eight
Speaker 1: years old.
Speaker 4: He wow.
Speaker 1: He has had a dominance on clay. Really was his
Speaker 1: forte he did the French Open.
Speaker 4: In the chest.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yes, He's had a lot of epic games against
Speaker 1: Roger Federer. He had in fact, career was iconic. Yes.
Speaker 3: So I remember that Wimbledon when it came down to
Speaker 3: Federer and a doll, and it went all the way
Speaker 3: to the tiebreak. Almost every single part of that set
Speaker 3: that they went through it went to its tiebreak, and
Speaker 3: it was an amazing thing to watch. And I think
Speaker 3: in the beginning had a doll's number, if I remember right.
Speaker 4: At one point he was like yeah.
Speaker 3: But at one point, even at Wimbledon, I think his
Speaker 3: first two times he bested the doll and then the
Speaker 3: doll got so dominant on play that Federer couldn't touch
Speaker 3: him anymore.
Speaker 4: Well, did you get a haircut?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: I did not. No, I don't cut my hair. I
Speaker 2: get a trimm because I have I have a ponytail or.
Speaker 2: I have my hair as well, long in the back,
Speaker 2: and I put it up in a ponytail whenever I
Speaker 2: go to special functions. But I get a trim every
Speaker 2: once in a while.
Speaker 4: I cut at least one a day because I like
Speaker 4: to keep everything even.
Speaker 2: I haven't had a serious haircut in probably fifteen years.
Speaker 1: So yes, I used to play tennis, and so tennis
Speaker 1: is kind of near and dear, and that's why most
Speaker 1: of you don't know that. But that's why I wanted
Speaker 1: to bring it up tonight. So because he announced it,
Speaker 1: I think today or yesterday, So I thought that was
Speaker 1: kind of big news and something that we don't normally
Speaker 1: talk about.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that is something different.
Speaker 1: You know, and sometimes we do that because we talk
Speaker 1: about anything around here. Okay, so let's we're going to
Speaker 1: talk a little bit of NFL. Oh huge news. What's
Speaker 1: the huge news? Jay? What are you breaking? What news
Speaker 1: is breaking?
Speaker 2: I think he means you're huge and is but not
Speaker 2: all retire.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, I remember Natassi and John McEnroe getting pissed off.
Speaker 1: Very difficult sport. I tried once. I couldn't even see
Speaker 1: the ball off the serve. I stood there like a statute.
Speaker 1: It is a tough sport you have to be. I mean,
Speaker 1: I haven't played it in a couple of years, but
Speaker 1: I played it religiously. I can say that. For some reason.
Speaker 1: I always went to tiebreakers, and I wasn't very good
Speaker 1: in the tiebreaker. I almost went to state. I lost
Speaker 1: in a third set tiebreaker in my playoffs, and otherwise
Speaker 1: I would have gone to state in high school. And
Speaker 1: and I actually I actually lost in a third set
Speaker 1: tiebreaker to not make the college team as well. So
Speaker 1: but I love this. I love playing it. When I do,
Speaker 1: I just haven't done it in a long time. So, yes,
Speaker 1: that is pretty big news for Nadal. Only rich people
Speaker 1: play tennis like Candy. I would that I would. I
Speaker 1: would say it's probably one of the least expensive ones
Speaker 1: because you really only need a racket and some tennis balls,
Speaker 1: and normally you can find courts that you don't have
Speaker 1: to pay to play where, and you only need one
Speaker 1: other person, so it's not like you need a whole
Speaker 1: team like a baseball or basketball and you know and
Speaker 1: all that. But Jimmy Connors would get pissed off too. Yes,
Speaker 1: and yes, I do know. The Red Wings open tonight.
Speaker 1: They actually do the lead. They delayed their game an
Speaker 1: hour because they didn't want that much traffic trying to
Speaker 1: get down to Comerica Park and Little Caesars at the
Speaker 1: same time, so they started at eight o'clock tonight to
Speaker 1: stagger it a little bit more.
Speaker 2: The Pirates had to do that this year to accommodate
Speaker 2: the Steelers one time.
Speaker 3: So I'm going to say something that I said last
Speaker 3: night on my podcast, and I am completely wrong and
Speaker 3: I was mistaken. The forty nine Ers are taking it
Speaker 3: to the Seahawks in their house. It looks like the
Speaker 3: hangover from that Lions game is still lingering.
Speaker 2: Mm. I thought the Niners would would lay another egg.
Speaker 4: I didn't do. But they're up sixteen to three at a half.
Speaker 1: Tame, So let's talk a little bit. We got to
Speaker 1: talk about the dysfunctional Jets. I'm sorry. The reason why
Speaker 1: I want to go back to them is they obviously
Speaker 1: they have a new head interroim coach Jeff Ulbrich, and
Speaker 1: he he did the same thing that Robert Salah was
Speaker 1: gonna do. He relieved Nathaniel Hackett of his play calling duties,
Speaker 1: so he will no longer be the play caller. So
Speaker 1: what do we think Downing, who is forty four years old,
Speaker 1: he is taking over and he's what the quarterbacks coach
Speaker 1: I believe.
Speaker 3: And he was also the passing game coordinator for the Jets,
Speaker 3: so it's not like they're totally changing the scheme. All
Speaker 3: it is is the guy that was called telling the
Speaker 3: offensive coordinator. Hey, these plays are what works against this defense.
Speaker 3: Interim coach guy named Aaron Dgers.
Speaker 2: I heard Aaron Rodgers slipped on a banana peel this
Speaker 2: today and won't not be playing mm hmm. I think
Speaker 2: a lot of people wish that, though.
Speaker 1: I don't think the problem was Aaron Rodgers. I mean,
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. Yes, Aaron likes to stick his
Speaker 1: nose and has a lot of control and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: It was actually brought up about the Lebanese flag thing
Speaker 3: on Twitter, and Dan Lennard pointed it out that on
Speaker 3: his hoodie, Robert Salah at the game had the Lebanese
Speaker 3: flag on his shoulder and the owner actually is big
Speaker 3: about supporting Jewish in the Israel, lights in the Middle
Speaker 3: East and his friends with Ambassads and Israel, so that
Speaker 3: that might have had something to do with why he
Speaker 3: fired him without talking to anybody.
Speaker 4: Whether that is it or not, we don't know.
Speaker 3: It's all speculations, and that's one of those TVD moments
Speaker 3: that you don't really put out there public like this
Speaker 3: because it looked bad.
Speaker 2: M hm, Well, you know what it could It was
Speaker 2: multiple things, Jeremy. It wasn't just that I don't think.
Speaker 2: I think probably they've had some bad drafts. Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 2: didn't pan out like they want him to, got hurt
Speaker 2: last year. Now this year he's crying like a little baby,
Speaker 2: you know. Uh, and and just multiple things, you know,
Speaker 2: with this team. So it wasn't just that. I don't
Speaker 2: think it was just that either. There was multiple things
Speaker 2: involved here, But Aaron Rodgers did contribute to to I
Speaker 2: would say the majority of it. Okay, that was part
Speaker 2: of the problem a little bit, I think.
Speaker 3: But everybody points out his record. But what I want
Speaker 3: to point out is Robert Salah was a defensive coach
Speaker 3: at his first coaching job. What failed him as the
Speaker 3: offense every year? Yes, and at that point, if the
Speaker 3: offense is what's failing, that's why he had a different
Speaker 3: offensive coordinator every year. The problem is when you're a
Speaker 3: first time head coach, and this is one of the
Speaker 3: things we talked all the time about when you're a
Speaker 3: first game coach, your coordinators better be experienced.
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely so absolutely. How do you think Bill Coward
Speaker 2: and Mike Tomlin succeeded when they first started? Bill Kerr
Speaker 2: brought him Ron Erhart, Uh, you know, Don Capers, he
Speaker 2: had dick Lebou as his defensive coordinator for a little while,
Speaker 2: and then he had and when Tomlin's first come in, UH,
Speaker 2: he hired Bruce Arians and then he had Uh and
Speaker 2: then he had uh dick Lebou And you know, so
Speaker 2: that's that's what you have to do when you're a
Speaker 2: first time head coach, is bringing some really good assistance
Speaker 2: in order to you know, offset your inexperience as a
Speaker 2: head coach. You know, and you know that's what you
Speaker 2: have to do. I mean, because if you don't do
Speaker 2: it like that, forget it. And then also to another thing, Jeremy,
Speaker 2: that makes a lot and Candy. That makes a lot
Speaker 2: of coordinators bad as head coaches is when they try
Speaker 2: to be the coordinator in the head coach. Okay, they
Speaker 2: need to be a d head coach, the man, the
Speaker 2: guy who gets involved in everything, not just well, I'm
Speaker 2: going to go in the defensive room and let whoever
Speaker 2: take and do the offense and forget about everybody else,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. You know, I've seen too
Speaker 2: many of those coaches get fired easily, Jeremy.
Speaker 1: You want to respond, it's just a.
Speaker 4: He's a head coach. You get a new offense coordinator
Speaker 4: every year.
Speaker 3: The first two years in the league, he had three
Speaker 3: different qbs starting, And I I'm not saying that Salah
Speaker 3: didn't deserve to be fired for twenty and thirty six,
Speaker 3: but the defense was never the issue once he got there.
Speaker 3: The year before he got there, the Jets defense was
Speaker 3: one of the worst at tackling.
Speaker 4: I'm talking.
Speaker 3: I'm not tiptoeing around anything. What I'm saying is Joseph
Speaker 3: Boston calls it out right there. If you have if
Speaker 3: you're going into your third or fourth season, whatever, and
Speaker 3: you've averaged six different qbs a year between injuries and
Speaker 3: poor play, the players on the field have to do
Speaker 3: better too. So you can say all of this and
Speaker 3: everything else. But at the same time, the Jets, prior
Speaker 3: to Salad being there, was one of the worst tackling
Speaker 3: defenses and now they're at a ninety tackling rate as
Speaker 3: a team. So he took it from a forty five
Speaker 3: percent tackling team and turned it into a ninety. He
Speaker 3: doubled their tackling efficients. He did his job with the defense.
Speaker 3: So I'm not as big and saying that Salah deserved
Speaker 3: to be fired as everybody else I'm saying that Nathaniel
Speaker 3: Hackett should have been fired after the second game, as
Speaker 3: bad as that offense look.
Speaker 2: And for some strange reason, Jeremy, it seems like after
Speaker 2: he left green Bay he's just been horrible, was bad
Speaker 2: in Denver as head coach, and now he's with the
Speaker 2: Jets and he's not going in it well.
Speaker 3: And it leeds credence to exactly what he was trying
Speaker 3: to do when he got to Denver with their GM
Speaker 3: just before the Walton group took over. Remember, because the
Speaker 3: first quarterback they tried to trade for was Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3: They offered the Packers the exact same deal as what
Speaker 3: they offered to get Wilson after Green Bay said.
Speaker 1: No, Nathaniel Hackett should never have been hired, But anybody else,
Speaker 1: he is not the coach that h people thought he was.
Speaker 1: I think that Lafleur was more involved in that offense
Speaker 1: and that Nathaniel Hackett should not have been I mean,
Speaker 1: I would not never have given him a head coaching job.
Speaker 1: And then I do not hate the Jets. Let me
Speaker 1: be clear, I don't have any reason to hate them.
Speaker 1: I don't have any reason to like them though, either.
Speaker 1: I just think they're dysfunctional. They haven't been good, they
Speaker 1: haven't had good quarterbacks.
Speaker 3: Like okay, hey, Jay, I got something for you. So
Speaker 3: the owner fired Salah without talking to the GM, the
Speaker 3: coordinators or the players. The GM chose to take Zach
Speaker 3: Wilson and told Robert Salah to accept it. The GM
Speaker 3: has picked every coordinator for him because he was hired first. Yes,
Speaker 3: and Joseph Boston says it right the whole great there.
Speaker 3: Hackett was brought in because Rogers said Salah was undermine
Speaker 3: the whole time. Jets ownership worse within the league twenty
Speaker 3: years minus Nyder.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, they knel Hackett should should have been let
Speaker 1: go a long time ago. He should, but that's neither
Speaker 1: here nor there now, and the Jets are none of
Speaker 1: our teams on this panel, thankfully, so so.
Speaker 4: I have a question for YouTube when it comes to
Speaker 4: Roberts a lot.
Speaker 3: Okay, we've seen a lot of good teams with some
Speaker 3: bad defensive play, mostly due to pour tackling.
Speaker 4: Let me name them for you.
Speaker 3: The ones that have failed to tackle well, the Lions,
Speaker 3: that's the main reason why they lost versus the Buck.
Speaker 3: The Forts, that's the reason why they're behind the Seahawks
Speaker 3: and standing the Green Bay Packers that is why they fail,
Speaker 3: and stopping the run. And of course the Carolina Panthers
Speaker 3: their defensive coordinators not existent because other than the Raiders,
Speaker 3: they look like they're the second bye week on anybody
Speaker 3: in the NFC.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: So I'm saying, well, makes the most sense to you
Speaker 3: for someone to hire s Law before next week starts
Speaker 3: because you could bring them in in an assistant defensive thing, saying, hey,
Speaker 3: you're our DC going forward next year?
Speaker 4: Which team needs them the most?
Speaker 2: If the forty nine ers want to stay relevant, I'd
Speaker 2: hire them back. That's what I would do.
Speaker 3: I suggested that too, because right now they're DC. Put
Speaker 3: it this way, the Panthers have the twenty ninth defense.
Speaker 3: Guess who's the thirtieth.
Speaker 2: So Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 4: No, No, it's San Francisco.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: Okay, So I we have to get back to the one.
Speaker 1: There was a question that was asked right in the
Speaker 1: beginning of the show, but we weren't talking. We weren't
Speaker 1: talking NFL at the time. So I do want to
Speaker 1: go back to Rick's question. Rick's question was I have
Speaker 1: a question for the three of you, one by one,
Speaker 1: tell me, who your top three active quarterbacks in the NFL?
Speaker 1: Right now?
Speaker 2: Go ahead, right now, Sam Darnold of Minnesota right now. Uh,
Speaker 2: let me think for a second here, probably uh oh wow,
Speaker 2: that's that's not toughie, but it's it's I would have
Speaker 2: to go through the teams to actually figure it out. Oh,
Speaker 2: Jalen Daniels from the Commanders, he's doing he's having a
Speaker 2: good year. Let's see who else? U. Baker Mayfield is
Speaker 2: not doing too bad down in Tampa. Uh you know so,
Speaker 2: hm hmm.
Speaker 4: Is that your three year right now?
Speaker 2: Yeah? That's my three at this point.
Speaker 3: I have it as well. Darnold did fall back to earth.
Speaker 3: But let's let's face it. The Week one Jaydon Daniels
Speaker 3: never got off the first uh because he lost badly
Speaker 3: to Tampa Bay in that game.
Speaker 4: So I say that a wash.
Speaker 3: That's like a one, A, one B and my second
Speaker 3: best quarterback in the league right now other than them
Speaker 3: do are technically my third. I kind of want to
Speaker 3: almost put Golf there. With the performance he had the
Speaker 3: last two weeks. He was thirty six of forty one,
Speaker 3: three touchdowns no fix in an eighty seven point eight
Speaker 3: completion percentage.
Speaker 2: Brandon Staley is the assistant head coach in San Francisco
Speaker 2: on defense. Defense.
Speaker 4: Oh, no, wonder why their defense?
Speaker 2: No wonder what their defense is? Bad? Got Jeremy Candy,
Speaker 2: no wonder.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Golf is my third best quarterback in
Speaker 3: the league right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Golf storing good. Yeah, I forgot kind of forgot
Speaker 2: about him. But those were the or the top of
Speaker 2: my head at this point.
Speaker 1: What about Josh Allen, Yeah, got down.
Speaker 3: He's been up and down though, didn't He also lose
Speaker 3: a game already too, and it was a bad lot.
Speaker 3: And he had two games where he had less than
Speaker 3: two hundred yards passing, one of them in a law.
Speaker 4: Am I right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, tell me who your top three active quarterbacks. I mean,
Speaker 1: if if you're asking for who who I want as
Speaker 1: a quarterback right now, that's that's probably different. But let's see.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Lamar is sitting at eighthen yardage and stick and touchdowns.
Speaker 3: He's just not turning the ball over as much, except
Speaker 3: in the game he lost to the Raiders, and.
Speaker 2: He will be later in the season.
Speaker 1: You know, I mean, you got it having a good year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but his team is I understand that.
Speaker 4: His first two weeks he was not good, No at all.
Speaker 1: But I would say there's probably that you could say
Speaker 1: that about all, like some weeks, about any one of
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks. I think it. I mean Patrick Mahomes like
Speaker 1: he hasn't had the stay.
Speaker 2: I even forgot about my.
Speaker 1: Mom, you know. But okay, so everybody has.
Speaker 2: A bad game. I mean it's not like, yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, isn't that a Lombardy quote? If you don't win,
Speaker 3: you lose. Yeah. What I'm saying is Robert Salat probably
Speaker 3: should have never been a head coach to begin with.
Speaker 4: Some guys are better suited to be a coordinator.
Speaker 1: And Jay, if you didn't know what my team is,
Speaker 1: you you will be disappointed because I know you're not
Speaker 1: gonna be a fan of my team. My team is
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, which on my show we say found the purpose
Speaker 3: a lot.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yes, Well, now Jordan Love is back, see what happens.
Speaker 1: And he's become I would say he's more of a
Speaker 1: Brett Favre than he is an Aaron Rodgers. He's more
Speaker 1: of a gunslinger and tries to needle it in and
Speaker 1: you're gonna have some yeah, Jordan Love. I would say,
Speaker 1: if Daniels can win on Sunday, he can be number three.
Speaker 1: I know, I know that's okay, but.
Speaker 2: Keep throwing everybody. His success is because of the of
Speaker 2: his coach, Cliff Kingsbury. I mean as an offensive coordinator.
Speaker 2: A lot of people don't realize Cliff Kingsbury stunk as
Speaker 2: a head coach both in Collagen and a pros great
Speaker 2: quarterback coach though, super quack.
Speaker 4: They nicknamed it.
Speaker 2: And uh, well, where was he from, Yes, Texas Tech, Yes.
Speaker 4: And then when he went to Arizona they called it
Speaker 4: the Kingsbury flot. You could go to the mid season
Speaker 4: of both.
Speaker 3: As a college head coach and as an Arizona Cardinal
Speaker 3: head coach. He literally would go like five and one
Speaker 3: in four and two, would whatever else through the first
Speaker 3: half of the season, and then go one and five,
Speaker 3: oh and six, two and four, never once broke five
Speaker 3: hundred in the second half of the season with Texas
Speaker 3: tex he goes to Arizona. There was at one point
Speaker 3: they were ten and one and they come to face
Speaker 3: the Lions. You remember this year, Ralph, Yeah, I remember
Speaker 3: that Dan Campbell's first year and we housed them and
Speaker 3: they didn't win another game all season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he just you know, there's another guy that's a
Speaker 2: good quarterbacks coach and just nim Man as a head coach.
Speaker 2: Sad part about it was he didn't do it in
Speaker 2: either college nor NFL. Andy and Jeremy either one of them.
Speaker 3: So let's let's do the blind comparison here. I'm going
Speaker 3: to give you some stats for somebody, and I want
Speaker 3: you to tell me what you think of these and
Speaker 3: as I find them.
Speaker 1: Jay, the answer to your question is, yes, I grew up.
Speaker 1: I am from Wisconsin, so yes, I grew up a
Speaker 1: Wisconsin fan for all of the different sports.
Speaker 4: There we go. I got three of the top quarterbacks
Speaker 4: and Jared Goff stats right side by side for the
Speaker 4: last twenty one games, and I'm gonna give them to you.
Speaker 3: Golf is fifteen and six. Lamar because they had a
Speaker 3: bye week in those last twenty one games, is fifteen
Speaker 3: and five. It's very comparable, right. Golf has a sixty
Speaker 3: seven point nine completion percentage. Lamar has a sixty seven
Speaker 3: point one. Goff has thirty seven touchdowns, that's total touchdowns.
Speaker 3: That's with his rushing. Lamar has thirty six. Now let's
Speaker 3: go down to Pat Mahomes.
Speaker 4: We all know Pat Mahomes is a goat that is
Speaker 4: rushing and passing combined. In the last twenty one games,
Speaker 4: GoF has been fifteen and six. The Kansas City bye
Speaker 4: we came late last year.
Speaker 3: Again, he's fourteen and six, sixty seven point nine completion percentage,
Speaker 3: sixty seven point four five, five hundred and ninety yards
Speaker 3: per GoF five thousand and eighty seven for Mahomes, thirty
Speaker 3: five touchdowns, sixteen interceptions at Mahomes thirty three touchdowns and
Speaker 3: nineteen interceptions. Now, think about what I told you about
Speaker 3: last year and all the interceptions he had called back too.
Speaker 3: Passer rating ninety seven point five per golf, ninety two
Speaker 3: point one for Mahome. Now, the last one is another
Speaker 3: elite quarterback that everybody puts above GoF.
Speaker 4: Josh Allen. In his last twenty one games, he's been
Speaker 4: fourteen and seven, so he's played the same amount of games,
Speaker 4: same amount of time that Jared Goff played, sixty six
Speaker 4: point nine completion percentage.
Speaker 3: That's a whole percent less, which isn't bad. Anything about
Speaker 3: sixty five percent in the NFL is considered good to elite.
Speaker 3: Correct is what they left. Goff leads him by four
Speaker 3: hundred and seventy passing yards. He has one more touchdown
Speaker 3: in golf, but he has two more picks. The passer
Speaker 3: ratings a ninety seven point five for Golf and ninety
Speaker 3: five point eight for Josh Allen. So technically, by the
Speaker 3: statistics head to head in those games, Golf technically is
Speaker 3: a little better than everybody except Josh Allen. In the
Speaker 3: touchdown department, he has less interceptions than all of them,
Speaker 3: including Lamar. So when people say that Jared Goff isn't
Speaker 3: an elite quarterback, he puts up elite numbers. He does
Speaker 3: that when he has a good team and a good
Speaker 3: offensive line in front of him. And as long as
Speaker 3: we have that, golf will continue to put up elite
Speaker 3: numbers by the end of the season. That is what
Speaker 3: I've been trying to get through to the fans. Do
Speaker 3: you disagree with anything I said there, Candy.
Speaker 1: No, Nope, nope. I think for some reason, for some reason,
Speaker 1: we don't put golf in that elite category, and we
Speaker 1: haven't for a long time, even though you've just proved
Speaker 1: how many with his numbers and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: Jeremy, I hate you for being so good. Now here's
Speaker 3: the other one. So if he's had more yards in
Speaker 3: the same amount of games, more touchdowns than all but
Speaker 3: one of them, and a better touchdown interception ratio than
Speaker 3: all of them, why isn't Golf up there in that
Speaker 3: top five when they do the quarterback rating. He's always
Speaker 3: hovering somewhere between eleven and seventeen every year despite doing
Speaker 3: that type of performance. Now, if you say the last
Speaker 3: twenty one games, you know that all of last season,
Speaker 3: plus the last two.
Speaker 4: Games of the year before and the two the few games.
Speaker 1: Now, many traits make a quarterback elite. Golf is elite
Speaker 1: at some of them.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, he still is like the fifth quarterback in wide
Speaker 3: receiver combo that both have passed and received a touchdown
Speaker 3: in the game in the same game. You want to
Speaker 3: know what's funny is the first one did it in
Speaker 3: nineteen forty two, which is only like ten years after
Speaker 3: the invention of the board path.
Speaker 4: And that's what it is. People look at golf and
Speaker 4: they don't see him taking those deep shots down field
Speaker 4: a lot, But at the same time, we've seen him
Speaker 4: do it twice out of the three paths of the
Speaker 4: Jamo so far.
Speaker 2: Let me say this, quarterbacks have to do with the
Speaker 2: defense gives them at times, and sometimes the defense doesn't
Speaker 2: give them anything and a half the social passes. I mean,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: That's and some Let's also face it, Ralph, Sometimes if
Speaker 1: you get behind in a game, you become very one dimensional,
Speaker 1: and if you don't have a good running game, you
Speaker 1: become one dimensional, and so all you're doing is throwing, throwing, throwing, throwing, throwing.
Speaker 1: I mean, what game was it? The quarterback through what
Speaker 1: tried fifty five attempts?
Speaker 4: I mean, like that's just that these guys. That was
Speaker 4: that was versus Tampa Bay. We couldn't run.
Speaker 3: Everybody thought we weren't running the ball well, but when
Speaker 3: you look at the stats, we actually ran the ball
Speaker 3: very well. What we didn't do is score in the
Speaker 3: red zone. Why because as soon as we got within
Speaker 3: the twenty, we started trying to pass the ball and
Speaker 3: instead of running it. And it wasn't because they stopped
Speaker 3: the run. It's because we stopped running it after we
Speaker 3: got to the red zone. Right, So it was fifty
Speaker 3: four attempts by Golf and now he had less than
Speaker 3: a fifty percent completion percentage, he still had over three
Speaker 3: hundred yards and we had one hundred and eighty nine
Speaker 3: yards on the ground. Bottom line, Sport says, my Cowboys
Speaker 3: upset the Lions. You better hope so, because otherwise you're
Speaker 3: owing three at home cowgirls.
Speaker 2: Yeah oh yeah.
Speaker 3: And Tom Brady also talked about the system quarterback thing.
Speaker 3: He goes, that is such a bad nickname for a
Speaker 3: good quarterback because guess what, there are thirty two systems
Speaker 3: in the NFL, and every QB is a product of
Speaker 3: that system.
Speaker 1: Mm hm.
Speaker 3: So a system QB just means you're a franchise quarterback technically,
Speaker 3: is what I'm trying to get through to people.
Speaker 1: Yep, I agree, I agree.
Speaker 3: Okay, guys, bottom line, what's the verdict on persons of
Speaker 3: the in or out?
Speaker 4: Because they say week to week with that igh ankle screen.
Speaker 5: Good question, right, yeah, yeah, any anything else, somebody, you
Speaker 5: guys want to talk about any other before we get
Speaker 5: to My Town.
Speaker 2: I don't have anything else.
Speaker 1: So if if you have mm hmm, if you haven't
Speaker 1: watched the show before, the one of the segments we
Speaker 1: do on on Fire Up is my Town and it's
Speaker 1: where all the panelists can talk about what's happening either
Speaker 1: in the town that they live in or in the
Speaker 1: town that they grew up in if they'd rather, So
Speaker 1: let's start with mister Ralph, what's happening in your town?
Speaker 2: Well, it's starting to become fall weather here. It's skint
Speaker 2: and chili that is happening. So and they're fixing continuing
Speaker 2: to fix up our building here that just had a
Speaker 2: fire here about three weeks ago. That's going on. But
Speaker 2: sports wise, the Penguins got blown out last night. We're
Speaker 2: gonna see what they do tonight against Detroit. And then
Speaker 2: the Steelers, on the other hand, can't figure out what
Speaker 2: quarterback is gonna play this Sunday, but I'm hearing his
Speaker 2: Justin Fields. But I did hear today from one of
Speaker 2: my sources that Justin Fields will play, but he will
Speaker 2: be on a short leash, which means and Russell Wilson
Speaker 2: is ready to play, so he will be the backup
Speaker 2: quarterback based on Justin Field's performance. And we're gonna hope
Speaker 2: the Steelers don't lay an egg this week against the
Speaker 2: last Vegas rate has like they have, but like they
Speaker 2: did against Dallas and uh so and now I got
Speaker 2: to aid it because they came into our home field
Speaker 2: and beat us. We shouldn't have lost that game. But
Speaker 2: you know what else is new? But yeah, so that's
Speaker 2: going on, and uh, in my town, that's really about it.
Speaker 2: It's not a whole lot going on other than our
Speaker 2: county executive pissing off property owners because she wants to
Speaker 2: raise property taxes up forty seven percent. Other than that,
Speaker 2: that's it.
Speaker 1: Mister Jeremy, what would you say going on?
Speaker 4: So, even though we lost the day, in two days,
Speaker 4: we will have three Schooble on the mountain there in Cleveland,
Speaker 4: and so far he's been unhittable by the Guardians. So
Speaker 4: I expect that the Tigers shall take that on and win.
Speaker 3: And well, Micah Parsons, though Lawrence is on the I
Speaker 3: are guyton is week two. I don't know if he's
Speaker 3: playing or not because they said it looked like he could,
Speaker 3: but he might not. I expect the Lions to win
Speaker 3: thirty four to seventeen.
Speaker 1: Okay, Ken, So what's happening in my town? Well, the
Speaker 1: town I live in down here in Florida. The Florida
Speaker 1: Panthers open their season on Tuesday night. As most of
Speaker 1: you know, we do cover the Miami Hurricanes college football.
Speaker 1: They have a bye this week, so we will be
Speaker 1: at the Florida Atlantic game versus Wagner.
Speaker 2: Oh, that'll be a hard game. Wagner's a very tough competitor.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to fight myke tongue because it's the Miami
Speaker 3: and Hurricanes on the bye week, but two hit this
Speaker 3: past week.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, uh back home where I would say, since
Speaker 1: I'm originally from Wisconsin, Wisconsin is on the road this
Speaker 1: week playing Rutgers. Was on the road, Wisconsin. Wisconsin Badgers
Speaker 1: are playing Rutgers.
Speaker 2: You know what, Rutgers isn't doing too bad this year,
Speaker 2: believe it or not. I mean, they're actually going quite okay.
Speaker 1: Rutgers is four and one. They actually beat Howard in
Speaker 1: week one, they beat beat Akron in week two, Virginia
Speaker 1: Tech in week three, Washington in week four, and then
Speaker 1: lost to Nebraska last week. Now, the reason why I'm
Speaker 1: going to say, I think it's going to be a
Speaker 1: tougher game. Let's face it, if you don't all know
Speaker 1: that the Wisconsin's quarterback, first string quarter back Tyler Van
Speaker 1: Dyke is out for the year, and then Malusey is out.
Speaker 1: So with both of those out, Wisconsin doesn't have the
Speaker 1: backups that a lot of other some of the bigger
Speaker 1: elite teams do, so I think it'll be a test.
Speaker 1: Plus they're on the road. So Wisconsin the team that
Speaker 1: we thought would be good, but they are not. But
Speaker 1: they are they Like I just said, when Wisconsin's first
Speaker 1: string quarter I mean when they got Tyler van Dyke,
Speaker 1: and not that I was really high on Tyler van
Speaker 1: Dyke because he played down here in Miami and I've
Speaker 1: seen him play. But when he went down, we went
Speaker 1: to the next quarterback. And for Wisconsin, a not an
Speaker 1: elite program, your second string or third string, it's tougher, Katie,
Speaker 1: If you could have a jersey other than Green Bay,
Speaker 1: which one would it be? Oh, that's a good question.
Speaker 1: He was Wisconsin or are you talking?
Speaker 4: I know where it's going.
Speaker 1: It is it would not be Detroit. And I'm sorry
Speaker 1: to say that for you guys, but I you know,
Speaker 1: for some reason, I always until the Denver Broncos took them,
Speaker 1: took Green Bay out of the when they won the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl over US, I had always liked for some reason,
Speaker 1: I had always liked John Olway. I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 1: I always thought he was good and I liked him.
Speaker 1: I and Jay I do not hate Detroit. I just
Speaker 1: know my team plays against Detroit, and I would say
Speaker 1: that I give respect where respect is earned.
Speaker 4: I do.
Speaker 1: I never trash talk. Maybe a little bit with my husband,
Speaker 1: a little bit, but normally not on this kind of panel,
Speaker 1: you know, in I do not trash talk. But Jeremy,
Speaker 1: I'm putting in order in for our number seven jersey
Speaker 1: for kids.
Speaker 4: Okay, I will contact you. Yes, I have your number.
Speaker 4: I'll text you when we're getting ready.
Speaker 2: To do it. Uh.
Speaker 1: Oh, what are you guys doing?
Speaker 3: No, I have a line on the company that sows
Speaker 3: all of the Nike jerseys is in China, and I
Speaker 3: have a line through one of the supply flyers. So
Speaker 3: I actually get stitched official NFL jerseys, just like you
Speaker 3: can buy it Dunhams, which are not game authentic jerseys.
Speaker 3: They're just authentic NFL jerseys, the ones you pay anywhere
Speaker 3: from one hundred and sixty to two hundred bucks for.
Speaker 3: I get them for a round sixty five seventy bucks.
Speaker 4: Ship Wow.
Speaker 1: Only request is to be candy. Huh. My boss would
Speaker 1: like that because my boss is definitely a Broncos fan.
Speaker 1: And that's not the reason I like the Broncos.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Why would you like it in the old original orange
Speaker 3: orange crush?
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I interviewed one of the current Bronco coaches once. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I used to have a show called Ralph's RLF Williams.
Speaker 2: One on one. I interviewed assistant head coach Mike Westof.
Speaker 1: I can say one thing, Jay, that my husband has
Speaker 1: tried to get me to wear a Lion's anything, even
Speaker 1: a baseball cap, and I just I just won't. And
Speaker 1: part of it is just because you guys are in
Speaker 1: my division. It's not that I won't like you guys.
Speaker 1: I would. I would root for you guys over Chicago
Speaker 1: or Minnesota any day of the week. Let me put
Speaker 1: it to you that way.
Speaker 3: And Candy knows because we've talked about it the last
Speaker 3: ten years. Detroit has not been an easy out for
Speaker 3: Green Bay. Nope, in the last three years. Definitely not correct.
Speaker 3: So it is nothing to do with the friendly banter
Speaker 3: of us two people backstage talking a little crap to
Speaker 3: one another, because we do that, but you know what,
Speaker 3: we do it with respect. I never degrade her as
Speaker 3: a person, she never degrades me as a person. Will
Speaker 3: we talk our crap about the teams and how they play.
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly, I actually have uh Brett Favre Jersey and
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers Jersey. I have. I'm trying to think I
Speaker 1: have two others.
Speaker 2: I have.
Speaker 3: Start to read what he said right there. He had
Speaker 3: to give it away because he hated Brett Barv so much.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm yep, yes.
Speaker 4: Mm and James burd just about the other. I am
Speaker 4: seeing Dad on Saturdays, so I'll pick that up for
Speaker 4: you then and I'll have it sent out next week.
Speaker 4: I did an auction for one of our.
Speaker 3: Guys and he bought a couple of items, and I
Speaker 3: just haven't been to Dad to pick up the items
Speaker 3: so I could chip it.
Speaker 1: Understand. I understand. Well, guys, anything else we want to
Speaker 1: talk about tonight?
Speaker 2: Not really, I don't have anything.
Speaker 3: No, let's have some good baseball going for it. And yes,
Speaker 3: m Seattle's making a comeback. It is now seventeen.
Speaker 1: Oh, my husband would love a Barry Sanders Jersey. When
Speaker 1: is Ralph writing a book?
Speaker 2: I'm not into writing books. I can get someone to
Speaker 2: do it for me, but.
Speaker 1: That reminds me I should be uh have a book
Speaker 1: to publicize lessons from the microphone, tuning into the enduring
Speaker 1: wisdom of visionary leaders. It is written by my husband,
Speaker 1: Scott the MotorCity Madmouth Morgan Roth. It talks about his
Speaker 1: forty plus years in the media industry and how it
Speaker 1: has changed. It has some great stories in there, and
Speaker 1: there's a picture of a young Scott with the young
Speaker 1: Muhammad Ali. Get your copy on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kindle, Apple,
Speaker 1: and Google Books. There's also a link on our website
Speaker 1: www dot self Flordatribune dot com where Jeremy writes for
Speaker 1: us as well, so you can read his writing.
Speaker 4: There to write for somebody I didn't know all that.
Speaker 1: Yes, Jay has two Barry Sanders jerseys.
Speaker 4: Ah, I have my original thing I am later on
Speaker 4: like I think it was either chapter nine or chapter ten.
Speaker 3: Somewhere in there towards the end of the book. I
Speaker 3: don't remember what paid, and yet it takes money to
Speaker 3: publish a books.
Speaker 1: Candy, what picture from sports was your favorite picture? Now
Speaker 1: I'm gonna you guys are not gonna like the answer
Speaker 1: to this question, because I'm gonna tell you the picture
Speaker 1: that I took that I like the most, that I
Speaker 1: do not have up on any website. At all, I
Speaker 1: took it if I don't know, if any I don't
Speaker 1: even remember exactly the game. But I was at Lambeaufield.
Speaker 1: I was in the tunnel and Rogers. It was after
Speaker 1: halftime and Rogers had gotten injured during the first half
Speaker 1: and he was not he didn't go out with the
Speaker 1: rest of the team to go out into the tunnel yet.
Speaker 1: So he is actually standing in the tunnel with a
Speaker 1: green light coming down on him. Is Rogers Jersey, Uh,
Speaker 1: And I took and I actually took the picture and
Speaker 1: I have it. It kind of reminds me of the
Speaker 1: the commercial, the Coca Cola commercial with me Joe Green
Speaker 1: and but it's Jaron Rodgers in the picture, and I
Speaker 1: just thought it was a cool picture and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: But I have taken lots of other pictures I've been.
Speaker 1: I've been on lambeau Field. That's a pretty iconic place
Speaker 1: to take pictures.
Speaker 4: Like share it, share it, cheer it.
Speaker 1: I know, yes I haven't. Let's see, maybe I don't
Speaker 1: write it.
Speaker 3: I I will try to do that, James Burgess, but uh,
Speaker 3: I have to have a little more credibility with my
Speaker 3: writing before I will get those credentials.
Speaker 4: But once it happened. Yes, I would be happy to.
Speaker 3: Go anywhere and meet up with you and write about
Speaker 3: that type of stuff.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, And I will say Camp Randall is an
Speaker 1: awesome place to go. I mean, I have been to
Speaker 1: the Big House, but I think Camp. I do enjoy
Speaker 1: Camp Randall. I enjoy I have been to Ford Field.
Speaker 1: I've been to Times Square with the Giants and Packers playing.
Speaker 1: It was snowing that yep, that one.
Speaker 4: That was a great game.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. Hey kid.
Speaker 4: By the way, somebody asked me on my podcast about
Speaker 4: when was the last time Aaron Rodgers threw three interceptions
Speaker 4: in the same game? And I know, I know it
Speaker 4: was Week eighteen versus the Lions when he was with
Speaker 4: the Packers because Kirby had two of them and Aiden
Speaker 4: nuts and had together.
Speaker 1: So Jay, I'm going to answer this for my husband,
Speaker 1: because the saddest sports moment ever. He actually was at
Speaker 1: the game where the only guy died on the field,
Speaker 1: where Chuck Hughes died on the field.
Speaker 2: WHOA.
Speaker 1: Yes, he was there.
Speaker 4: Yep, and that was in I wouldn't have took right,
Speaker 4: isn't that what that was?
Speaker 1: I remember right, something like that? Yeah, yeah, and yes,
Speaker 1: it is in the I believe that isn't it?
Speaker 4: Yes? I think it's when he mentioned how much he hates.
Speaker 1: Yes in the book, Yes, Yes, how old?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 1: What year was that when Chuck Hughes died. Let's see
Speaker 1: Chuck qes y suck.
Speaker 4: It was seventy one, I believe.
Speaker 1: Yeah, October twenty fourth, nineteen seventy one. Scott would have
Speaker 1: been nine years old. Eight years old.
Speaker 4: He Ji says, yes, Bothella and Edwards lol.
Speaker 1: And love when you sure old.
Speaker 3: One of my favorite memories was being at the game
Speaker 3: because up until that point, they said the longest home
Speaker 3: run ever hit out at Tiger Stadium was Reggie Jackson
Speaker 3: in nineteen eighty one when he cleared the bleachers and
Speaker 3: hit the hit the light post. I was at the
Speaker 3: game when Kirk Gibson hit the ball so hard it
Speaker 3: went across the road into the lumberyard, the one you
Speaker 3: looked up Candy where they estimated it was over seven
Speaker 3: hundred feet mm hmm, because it couldn't get that far
Speaker 3: unless it went over seven hundred feet because it landed
Speaker 3: inside the fence of the lumberyard. I wanted to if
Speaker 3: I remember it. That was early during that thirty four
Speaker 3: thirty five and five runs. And if I remember right,
Speaker 3: we had just started playing baseball in April that year,
Speaker 3: because that was one of the first years that went
Speaker 3: to one hundred and forty games.
Speaker 4: That was the early eighties, wasn't it, Ralph?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 4: Yes, and I believe it was April twenty eighth, nineteen
Speaker 4: eighty four. He hit it over the right center field
Speaker 4: and it went across the street to the Eighth Lumberyard.
Speaker 4: It was their warehouse for Eighth lumber so it literally
Speaker 4: landed in that lumberyard in Ralph. What's your favorite sports
Speaker 4: memory that you remember?
Speaker 2: You mean bad, you mean a bad one or a
Speaker 2: good one?
Speaker 4: Favorite?
Speaker 2: My favorite one was and unfortunately for me, I was
Speaker 2: walking across the Clemeny Bridge because the Pirates were down
Speaker 2: four runs to the Houston Astros at the time, and
Speaker 2: I was walking across the bridge to Clemeny Bridge with
Speaker 2: my brother in law, and all of a sudden, I
Speaker 2: hear the fire. Our work's going off because Brian Giles
Speaker 2: hit they hit a home run, and the Pirates ended
Speaker 2: up winning the game because he hit a grand slam
Speaker 2: with the bases loaded, two outs and he had two
Speaker 2: strikes on him and I said, oh, we're done. So
Speaker 2: we so my brother in law and I we just
Speaker 2: decided to start walk started across the Clementy Bridge. The
Speaker 2: next thing you know, there's a home run hit and
Speaker 2: we won the game. We end up winning both both games.
Speaker 2: It was a doubleheader against Houston.
Speaker 4: That would be a huge thing to see, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean.
Speaker 2: It was, but we had to watch the home run
Speaker 2: from the Clemeny Bridge because we we had left thinking
Speaker 2: how I got it's two outs too?
Speaker 4: You know that would be like your best worst moment
Speaker 4: at the present.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that was a good That was a
Speaker 2: good one there, and uh you know, uh the bad one.
Speaker 2: The two bad ones were Ryan Shazier getting hurt for
Speaker 2: the Steelers and then themar Hamlin getting hurt. Uh that
Speaker 2: and then and they had to you know, that was
Speaker 2: the two bad ones that I didn't like that, you know,
Speaker 2: injuries and stuff. It is someone that got hurt. That
Speaker 2: wasn't what that wasn't two of my favorite games. Yep.
Speaker 3: I remember that watching post them. I remember watching it
Speaker 3: on TV. I wasn't there.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and tomorrow Amblin was a scary moment too, Yes,
Speaker 3: it was. I actually was live during that. I was
Speaker 3: doing my own show during that, but we were doing
Speaker 3: our show and I couldn't finish because that was what
Speaker 3: two years ago now.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, it's at least been two years.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is the second year. It was December, if
Speaker 4: I remember right that year.
Speaker 2: The interesting part about it was I lived in the
Speaker 2: neighborhood where Damorrow Camblin lived at one time, in Key's Rocks,
Speaker 2: and he went to Stow Rocks High School. I used
Speaker 2: to live in the community not too far from his house.
Speaker 3: So I think my second saddest moment that I remember
Speaker 3: of I can't remember the coach's name, but he drove
Speaker 3: naked through the Windy's drive through and got arrested for
Speaker 3: the Lions culin Joe Cullen, that was his name.
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you another good one was the Roethlisberger
Speaker 2: catch or throw to Santonio Holmes in the Super Bowl
Speaker 2: against Arizona. That was a good That was a great
Speaker 2: play that I enjoyed watching over the years. And the
Speaker 2: razzle dazzle play that the Steelers did against Seattle in
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl too, that was another good one.
Speaker 4: His was Mike Gutley. Yeah, that was awful.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mike Godley was bad.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Andy, any issues? And what did Scott make you
Speaker 4: for dinner?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 1: Any issues from the hurricane? Luckily no, at least not
Speaker 1: on my side or anything. We didn't have to have
Speaker 1: any damage. I can tell you that a couple of
Speaker 1: my employees, some of their relatives had damage. But other
Speaker 1: than that, we really luckily. We didn't even lose power.
Speaker 1: So thankfully we're safe from the hurricane. And Scott does
Speaker 1: not cook, so that did not make me dinner. I
Speaker 1: cooked dinner, so yeah, didn't even lose power. Amazing.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's a good one here. What did Scott make
Speaker 2: you for dinner?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: I didn't know that. I thought he was a cook.
Speaker 1: He will tell you. He will tell you about the
Speaker 1: time if you want to ask him you he will
Speaker 1: tell you about the time he microwaved a grilled cheese
Speaker 1: sandwich and the microwave for I think four minutes. It
Speaker 1: was more of a hockey puck than anything else. I
Speaker 1: told him that he looks like a cook. That's kind
Speaker 1: of funny. What did I make I made night tonight?
Speaker 1: We just had leftovers I had made. We had some
Speaker 1: leftover pork and some leftover chicken, and we had some grapes, so.
Speaker 3: Half the glasses. He has the mustache. If he wore
Speaker 3: the chef and had the big wooden spoon and.
Speaker 4: Pork, I would love to hear him go kee keeper
Speaker 4: keeper keep.
Speaker 1: Working chicken in the same meal. Yes, because we had
Speaker 1: leftovers and we were just finishing them up so they
Speaker 1: were done.
Speaker 4: I made they laugh mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Seriously say those are Scott's words.
Speaker 3: Yep, yeah, that's why you said it. Yeah, really serious,
Speaker 3: that's the way you do it.
Speaker 2: Yes, wants to know what we all had for dinner?
Speaker 2: I suppose.
Speaker 4: I had bullness chicken wings of other words, giant chicken
Speaker 4: nugget mm hmm, yes, the Swedish chef.
Speaker 1: Okay, guys, anything else you like.
Speaker 2: My wife and I were too tired tonight to cook,
Speaker 2: so we stopped at Wendy's and grabbed a couple of burgers.
Speaker 4: Burgers are the way to go if you're not going
Speaker 4: to cook, that's the way to go. Yeah, fast food, right, Jay.
Speaker 4: I had a burger.
Speaker 2: From Wendy's and my lovely wife did as well. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I can't eat McDonald's food anymore. I get sick on it.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I.
Speaker 2: Don't know, man, that chicken big back with that thousand
Speaker 2: Island dressing. Man, I don't know.
Speaker 4: I just.
Speaker 2: I want to try it, but I don't want to
Speaker 2: go through being sick.
Speaker 1: Well, if you're in the Detroit area, Scott would tell
Speaker 1: you gotta get Big Boy.
Speaker 2: Is alb sto upper. I'll be's Big Boy. Huh.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Patty Grimes, Big John Steak and Onions
Speaker 3: is one of my absolute favorites.
Speaker 4: And uh, the sadest day of my life happened just a.
Speaker 2: Two weeks ago. Thanks, I got I got something for
Speaker 2: you about McDonald's. The French fry supplier for them is
Speaker 2: laying off employees because they said they're not making enough money,
Speaker 2: which means McDonald's is not ordering a whole lot of
Speaker 2: French fries and they're not making money off of McDonald's.
Speaker 3: So Big John Steak and Onions has had pretty much
Speaker 3: the basic menu of steak and onion sandwiches in favor.
Speaker 4: Established in nineteen twenty four, my stepfather.
Speaker 3: In nineteen eighty five introduced me to Big John mistaken
Speaker 3: on ah.
Speaker 2: And.
Speaker 3: I told you one of the reasons I moved in
Speaker 3: here is he's been dealing with dementia.
Speaker 2: Ah.
Speaker 4: So We're riding in the truck and he goes, what
Speaker 4: do you want for lunch?
Speaker 3: I said, well, Big John State sounds good, and he
Speaker 3: literally asked the question.
Speaker 4: What did they have on the menu? And that right
Speaker 4: there was when it hit me how bad.
Speaker 1: It's mm hmm.
Speaker 4: And I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: I may be a Roman, but ever since what I've
Speaker 3: been through and what it put me through to hide things, uh,
Speaker 3: I broke down a little bit, but I held it
Speaker 3: until I got home because I couldn't let him know it.
Speaker 1: Of right, right, it's hard. It's tough. That's really tough
Speaker 1: to see somebody going through that. Yeah, it's tough. On
