This is the best of the Adam Gold Show Podcast brought to you by Coach Pete at Capital Financial Advisory Group.
Visit us at capitalfinancialusa.com. This is the Adam Gold Show. We could have just played the Good Times theme, not sorry, the Jeffersons theme. That would have been fun. Good Times theme also. I loved that show growing up. So we do a poll every day and we kind of read the results at one o'clock. What should we talk about?
So your choices were in reverse order. Mitch Chubisky, could he be surpassed by Kenny Pickett? We're going to talk to Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com. She covers the Steelers for the worldwide leader. We'll talk with her about that in about 15 minutes. So we'll leave that. That came in third and fourth anyway.
We'll do that in just a little bit. Subway Series. Yankees beat the Mets last night.
They were plus money at home. I believe they're favored tonight because there is no Jacob DeGrom pitching tonight. DeGrom, who was the original scheduled starter, will go Thursday when the Mets take on the Rockies in a four-game series, I believe, at Shea Stadium. I'm sorry, at Citi Field. I've never been to Citi Field. I've only, last time I was at a Mets game, was a World Series game, a real Subway Series game in 2000. So it's been a while. Wouldn't that be something if it was at Shea?
Yeah, I don't think there's anything there. It's the parking lot now. Just playing in the parking lot. I spent a lot of time at Shea, not only for Mets games, but for Jets games. And then at the other side of that parking lot is the National Tennis Center, where the U.S. Open starts, I believe, next week. So that's a great complex, Flushing Meadows.
So, Subway Series. Aaron Judge, homeward, for like the first time in, what, 10 games or something like that. Yesterday, Yankees have won back-to-back games for the first time in August, and they will go for three in a row today.
Ken Tiger saved the PGA Tour. We just talked about that, so we'll kick that aside. And we have talked about it, but we'll bring it up again. Panthers, they named Baker Mayfield the starting quarterback. What's next for them? Yeah. And what's next for them is to simply get better on the headsets.
Yeah. Matt Ruhl and his coaching staff, they have to be better. My big concern is, Adam, for us, what's left to talk about now? That's the big thing, like, oh, the quarterback situation's been settled, now what's there to discuss?
Well, we've talked about this. First of all, for the most part over the last couple of weeks, here's what we've talked about when it comes to the starting quarterback. We all know Baker's gonna be the starter.
So it really wasn't a debate. Like, you didn't hear anybody lobbying for Sam Darnold, did you? I don't think Sam Darnold's family was even lobbying for Sam Darnold. We all knew that Baker Mayfield was not traded for to back up Sam. That would have been an indictment on Baker. He said earlier in the program that he'd have to be in a full body cast to not be the starter.
So it was sort of an issue, but it really wasn't an issue. We've talked about what I thought the real issues were with this team. Who starts at left tackle? They can't be a truly good offensive line if Brady Christensen has to play that position, because ideally their best line is probably with Brady at left guard, with Iki Iquanu being at least competent to start at left tackle and then growing with each week. And then hopefully they get Bozeman back and Pat Efline provides some depth. And you've got Jordan and I think it's Davis in the middle to kind of help at left guard, maybe some center.
And you've got the right side taken care of with Corbett and Taylor Moten. If those, and you've even got Cam Irving to provide some depth. If you have those things, if you have a good, good depth behind some potential in your offensive line, you have a chance. They also need to improve wide receiver and tight end.
So somebody for Baker Mayfield to throw to so the entire offense is not predicated on whether or not Christian McCaffrey is dominant that day. And I know a lot of people say, well, he's injury prone. I will say that he has been hurt the last two years. If you want to say he's injury prone.
I get it. I can't really dispute it because he hadn't played much the last two years, but I don't see him as an injury prone player. But I might be wrong. He might get hurt again. Yeah, but any player can get hurt. It's the NFL. It is a war of attrition. And I use that term.
I don't like to use war terms when it comes to that. But ultimately, that's why you need so much depth because it's so physical and there are so many games. It's hard to not be hurt at some point for any player. So they need McCaffrey to play their offense is going to be run through it.
So those issues on offense and whatever there we've already talked about their defense, but ultimately the head coach has to be better. We're going to find out if Matt rule can be that guy over the course and we might know five weeks in five weeks and we might know. All right, let's just not get anybody hurt. Let's get out of this season. And it won't be about wins and losses. It's just going to be about do they waste time? Do they commit too many pre snap penalties? What's their game plan look like? Is it is it, you know, tailored specific for success against a certain team all of that. So there's a lot of things we'll have to we'll pick out during the course of the year. They could be better and loose. Yeah, because they don't have a great team. There were a few write-in votes are appalled by I saw that.
So I'll give you the three here real fast. Okay, the another poorly kept secret is the canes uniforms for this upcoming season, right? So someone tweeted in asking about that. Also someone basically wanted to know your thoughts on the Liverpool man. You match from yesterday and our good trash.
Yeah, it was rubbish and our good friend. Brendan waited once talk about Kevin Durant staying in Brooklyn, Liverpool at Old Trafford yesterday was rubbish. Yeah, it was not predict them fall mine to nothing. Well, first of all, Liverpool has conceded the first goal now in seven consecutive Premier League matches.
Okay, seven in a row. Now they won most of the others true and they drew the two this year. They conceded the first goal at Fulham drew to to they conceded the first goal at home to Crystal Palace last Monday, Drew won one but they were always second best to man you yesterday. Now credit to Eric 10 hog who changed their formation change their lineup didn't play Ronaldo didn't play their captain. Harry Maguire didn't started said didn't play at center back.
I don't believe so. It was a different looking man you team but ultimately Liverpool's problems are right in the middle of the park. They have they are getting nothing out of midfield nothing where teams separate themselves. I think is in the midfield.
Yeah, you need finishers. You need goal scores like the men's national team needs goal scores right now. Liverpool has nothing in the middle of the park. Thiago is hurt Harvey Elliott's not ready to be an impact player. Jordan Henderson is sort of not hundred percent healthy. They're just not doing anything in the middle of field. So when that changes, they'll take advantage of their great goal scoring, but it happening right now. Plus they're only down to one center back just Van Dyke. The other two guys are are out.
That's my analysis of Liverpool's issues, but no Ronaldo is pretty impressive takes a lot of guts to tell Ronaldo. He ain't playing today. Interesting. All right. The here's what we should have been talking about and we're going to have to get to this after Brooke prior. Did you see the guy at Yankee Stadium? Yeah, borrowing out a hole. Oh, this in his hot dog is going to be discussed to use his hot dog as a straw. This is going to be discussed. Wait a second.
Mm-hmm. First of all, did you notice on the video? We've all seen the video by now on Twitter. It or on Sports Center.
It's been on they've been showed it everywhere. He looked like he thought he might have to hide from people. He was sort of slouching low and sort of quietly burrowing out the hole in the hot dog with an actual straw. Yeah, by the way, using a straw to make a straw, make a straw very, very meta. Yeah, very meta. Now I have thoughts on this that we need to explore and we'll do that in halftime entertainment, but it was disturbing on many, many levels. And I think people are missing the larger point here, but we will get to that.
But yes, that was a very disturbing, disturbing video. I'm not surprised Kevin Durant's staying. We like there was no market for Kevin Durant, believe it or not, like what the Nets wanted in return for Kevin Durant.
They were never getting yeah ever had no chance to get it. Once the Andre Aiten was moved were actually ended up re-signing with Phoenix was he signed an offer sheet with Indianapolis. I think it was the Pacers. Yeah, we're in the the Indiana Pacers as soon as he signed the offer sheet when it was matched. He couldn't get traded for until like January. So that ain't that ain't happen. Maybe it happens in January, but there was just no market. Nobody wanted that that nobody wanted Kevin Durant. Nobody was willing to give the Nets what the Nets demanded for Kevin Durant, who's in his mid 30s and doesn't have a lot left. Probably he's also talking about injury prone.
He has I'm not saying he is, but he has been hurt a lot. And as you get older, you don't come back the same way. Adam Golden Studio with my man coach Pete DeRuta with the Capital Financial Advisory Group. We're talking retirement and coach. I'm a simple guy, but I like colors. Tell me how I can color code money and get ready for retirement. I like colors too. I like pictures. I like graphs.
I don't like just a bunch of words. And so what we try to do is we try to break down all those words on your statement, all those numbers into three colors, red, green, yellow. People are amazed when they come in and most of their money is in the red category. Now red means high horsepower potential. It also means high loss potential. So you have to, it's a give and take. You can be willing to do that or that. Yellow means liquid money. You can get it anytime.
It's not going to earn anything. Green gives you safe growth, but also gives you lifetime income. As we get closer to retirement, we need some green accounts. We need the green zone, we call it. And Baghdad green zone was important. Green zone's important for you too. The next 10 people, Adam, it's a thousand dollar value. Golden ticket. We're going to put together for you, your very own total plan that has a green zone. It's a traffic light.
I hope it's green for you. 800-661-7383 or text Adam to 2-1-0-0-0 for coach Pete DeRuta. I mentioned earlier that Sonny Jergensen, longtime Washington quarterback, Hall of Famer will have his number nine retired by the Commandos. He went to New Hanover High School before going to Duke. And according to our friend Dan from Texas, the quarterback that succeeded him at New Hanover was Roman Gabriel. That's a run of high school quarterbacks. Sonny Jergensen to Roman Gabriel?
That is fantastic. It is very similar to the quarterback room right now for the Pittsburgh Steelers where Mitch Trubisky was brought in as a free agent from the Buffalo Bills. Thought to be the starter, maybe will be the starter, but can he pick it?
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, hot on his heels. Brook Pryor, who knows more about the Steelers, other than anybody other than Mike Tomlin, joins us from ESPN and ESPN.com. It's good to see you. Good to catch up with you, Brook.
I appreciate your time. I watched you on TV yesterday. I'm like, I want to talk to Brook Pryor. So let's talk about quarterbacks. Is Mitch Trubisky about to get Mitchell because he did the same thing to Mike Glennon about five years ago in Chicago? Yeah, it's funny because if you had asked me this question on Friday, I would have adamantly told you, no, Mitch Trubisky is still the starter, still going to start week one. And now I'll tell you that, but I'm maybe not going to be quite as adamant about it because I do think that Trubisky is still the number one quarterback for the Steelers.
They have only practiced once this week and nothing changed in the order of their reps. It's still Mitch with the ones, Kenny with the twos, Mason Rudolph with the threes. But if Kenny Pickett plays like he did in the last preseason game where he had that 42-second touchdown scoring drive right before half, if he does that for a full half in this final preseason game against the Lions, I think this becomes even more of a question mark and even more of a conversation within the Steelers building. And maybe this still ends with Trubisky starting week one, but I think his leash has become a lot shorter because of how quickly we've seen Kenny Pickett come on. If you had asked me this question week one of camp, I would have told you it's still Mitch Trubisky, but it has changed throughout training camp.
Brooke Pryor is joining us here on the Adam Goldter. Here's the thing about this particular conversation is that sometimes it's about the guy not being good enough. But in this case, Mitch looked like he's done everything the Steelers have wanted him to do. It's just that maybe Pickett is getting to where he needs to be quicker than anybody anticipated. I think that's a great way to put it because it's not that Mitch has lost the starting job.
It's that Pickett is just about to win it is what it feels like or at least is closing the gap on him because Trubisky has done everything right. He's been a leader that's been a huge topic of conversation throughout camp. He has played well in the preseason games in the limited action that he's gotten.
I think he's done five series total. He was pretty limited in what he could do to start the Jacksonville game because the offensive line in front of him was so terrible and he was running for his life. It felt like every play, but even in those moments, he wasn't making huge mistakes. He felt the pressure. Pickett felt the pressure too in that drive that he had, but he seemed to just be a little bit more poised or at least the offensive line didn't give up quite the same amount of pressure.
He didn't get sacked. At this point, it just seems like Pickett is developing maybe faster than the Steelers thought or maybe this is what they anticipated because when he was drafted, they said he's the most NFL-ready quarterback. They've had an opportunity to watch him for a number of years at Pitt, which shares the facility with the Steelers. He's 24 years old. I just think that they're going to sink more resources into the guy that they draft in the first round than essentially the two-year rental who's trying to restart his career.
Before I ask you more about the quarterback position, Brooke Pryor from ESPN Covers the Steelers is with us. The offensive line has been, we'll just say, a work in progress for the last year and a half. Last year I thought they called it young and developing.
I don't know the answer to that. How would you term their offensive line? It's not great. As bluntly as you can put it, Mike Tomlin really reamed him out yesterday in talking with the linemen in the locker room before practice. They were pretty honest that Tomlin reviewed the film in front of the whole team and pointed out instances where they did not play up to his standard.
As we know with him, the standard is the standard, and they were well below that. I think it's discouraging that they're playing like this in the preseason, especially when they tried to overhaul it in bringing in Mason Cole and James Daniels and moving Kendrick Green to guard because last year at center that didn't go well. Ben Roethlisberger said, hey, I think Kendrick Green is going to be a really good guard. He did not look great in that game. David Dotson came in and played pretty well, but he's been hampered by ankle injuries this camp and the camp before.
So how much can you trust him? Dan Moore, left tackle, kind of seems like a project. He was kind of thought to be the left tackle of the future, but it seems like he hasn't made a leap yet. So I think that it's very discouraging that this line, once again, just cannot seem to get its act together, even though they've changed offensive line coaches, they've brought in new faces, but it still seems like somehow they've even taken a step back from where they were a year ago. I mean, the offensive line is everything for them. The defense should be amazing. Again, they have star players basically at every level, and now it's just like they just have to be able to keep the ball.
They don't have to be great. They just can't be a train wreck. And if their offensive line isn't any good, then it's certainly headed towards that. What has the transition been like post Ben Roethlisberger? You know, I don't want to say that we haven't noticed it because it's definitely been something, especially early in camp when Roethlisberger talked about how, you know, one of the reasons they didn't make the playoffs or didn't have playoff success was an influx of me first players. And then that got some chirping back by Cam Hayward, who's still on the team. That was definitely a major instance where you noticed Ben Roethlisberger isn't here.
What is this transition like? But since then, I mean, I think that the new quarterbacks in Pickett and Trubisky and even Mason Rudolph, to an extent, have done a nice job setting the tone for the offense. It doesn't feel like, oh, no, it's so sad that Ben Roethlisberger isn't here, especially because he was really a shadow of himself in the last two seasons. He was not playing like, you know, the Ben Roethlisberger that went to the Super Bowl. He lacked the mobility. He, you know, he was clearly at the end of his career and it's been nice to have this infusion of quarterbacks who, you know, are not getting hit as much because they have the mobility to roll out and escape the pressure, something that Ben Roethlisberger would have been on his back several times already in the preseason if he was playing. So I think that that's been really nice to see in kind of a breath of fresh air. And there was a time back in the day where Roethlisberger was that athletic mobile quarterback who could escape the problem.
All right. Final thing for Brooke Pryor. This is about the head coach, Mike Tomlin. There was some dispute as to the circumstances surrounding all those kids that showed up at practice and were put through drills with Najee Harris. What's that dynamic like with the head coach and just being a part of that community? Yeah, I you know, we haven't talked with him about the logistics of how those kids got there.
And Jay Glazer tweeted something that the organization said was inaccurate. But in general, Mike Tomlin is is very present in the community working with this group, the Jasmine campus, to bring these kids to camp. He's very big on actions. And, you know, that's a big thing in the locker room is he is very much a player's first coach. He's like that with kids. And I think that it's something that he doesn't necessarily talk about with the media because he feels like, well, I don't need to tell you guys what I'm doing to let my actions speak for me.
So he's not someone to go out and, you know, work a charity event, donate money, donate his time, whatever. And then come and tell us about all the great things done doing things like bringing these kids to camp, seeing them run through drills. I think it's especially cool that they were doing that with Najee Harris, who I saw earlier this summer at his camp in the Bay Area that was free for kids to come and register to. Like they are both very much cut from the same cloth as far as they want to give back. Tomlin's talked about how the local organizations in Norfolk and that area helped him growing up.
So same thing with Najee, with the Boys and Girls Club, things like that in the Bay Area. And so it's cool to kind of see them have that common ground and want to help kids and want to help the community around here. Mike Tomlin made a sizable donation to Lavelle Moten's charity here.
And I know Lavelle Moten put that on Twitter because Lavelle is a prolific social media presence. But so we appreciate Mike Tomlin doing that for this community. And we appreciate your time. Brooke Pryor from ESPN. Absolutely.
At B.E. Pryor. I'm so glad you still remember us because you're a star now. So go continue killing it on ESPN and we'll be watching you on TV. Thanks. I will never forget you. Come on. Anytime you ask. All right. Thanks, Brooke. I appreciate your time. Brooke, she's great.
Does a super job. All right. Before we before we get to halftime. Remember, this goes back now about what, two months, three months. The Brooklyn Nets were kind of a circus act. Let's go back even further when the Brooklyn Nets had Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, James Harden.
Right. They had those three. They were supposed to be studs. And when all three of those guys got in the court together, how do you possibly beat that team? Well, they weren't on the court together a lot. Durant was hurt. Kyrie was unavailable for a lot of it and hurt sometimes as well. And James Harden had decided he had mentally had enough.
I mean, it couldn't have gone worse for that trio in Brooklyn. Harden is part of the Ben Simmons trade. Again, I still can't figure out why you'd trade for Ben Simmons, but I'm not the expert. Kyrie was still unavailable. Kevin Durant was still in and out of the lineup with some injuries.
And that team just kind of went nowhere. Kyrie wanted out. Kevin Durant demanded a trade. Kyrie ends up picking up his player option, which means that there was nowhere for him to go. And Kevin Durant still wanted out. And Kevin Durant just now said he and the organization are going to move forward together. Yes. Hand in hand. This was always going to happen to Stephen A. Smith.
Have any thoughts on something like this? Dennis Cox noticed they said Steve Nash and I remember Kevin Durant wanted them gone, according to reports. Yes, the GM and the coach.
It's me. So he said Steve Nash, he could have said the Brooklyn Nets and Kevin Durant has agreed to stay. He said we, with our ownership, met with Kevin Durant in Brooklyn, in L.A., to let y'all know he ain't going no damn place. That's all that means.
Ain't breaking news, y'all. Stay your ass right there. Period. You got four years, one hundred and ninety eight million dollars. And before one day is honored, you asking out?
No. I gave you Kyrie. I gave you DeAndre Jordan. I gave you Steve Nash and everything else in between. When healthy, you are the best player on the planet. When all of y'all are born in, we are a legit top three, top 14 in the NBA who can win the chip.
Where the hell are you going? Oh, man. It's it's it's the Brooklyn Nets, man. And you know what? A couple of years ago, before they got all the star power, they were like the, hey, man, plucky little Brooklyn.
Pretty good. And then they went out and got all that star power and been plucky little Brooklyn. Of course, if Durant wore like a size smaller shoe. Then maybe they beat was it Milwaukee the year than the Bucks won the championship. They win that series because Durant's shot would have been a three and not a two. They would have won that game instead of losing an OT.
Maybe Brooklyn would have won the championship. It's all changed. All right, sir. We've reached the half.
Your half time entertainment. All right. Big burning question today. OK, I got to ask you.
Would you ever drink a beer out of a straw? No, no. And this is my problem with this issue. Continue.
Continue to two questions here. All right. So you wouldn't you won't drink a beer out of a straw. No, I'm with you on that. Would you ever make a straw out of a hot dog? I mean, I wouldn't. But I don't think this is the I don't again, I don't think this is the real issue. The whole story. I'm getting there.
I'm getting there. I'm just yes or no. Would you ever make a straw? No, I wouldn't.
I would not do that. OK. You wouldn't even use a straw to make a straw out of a dog. I don't believe the implement used the tool used to create the straw is important in any way, shape or form. Just somebody on my Twitter timeline used a drill to make a straw out of a hot dog. OK. Yeah.
Good for them. I'd use I'd use like a quarter inch bit drill and make the straw out of the hot dog. So you might have to go a little bit. You might have to go a little bit. You might have to go five eighths. Maybe I have to go five. It's going to be a long bit. Well, I mean, you do one side and then the other.
Still, you have to get deep enough. Yeah. Well, yeah.
Well, OK. You better you might as well move on. So you're somebody is going to get in trouble. So you won't drink a beer out of a straw.
That's fine. You won't make a hot dog straw. Would you ever drink a beer out of the hot dog straw, though?
Well, this stooge did in New York, so I bet he lost a bet. Well, there was a lot of things about this video for people who have seen the video. OK, it's all it's it's I don't know.
I'll bet you if you could find the original video, I'll bet you that that has been viewed a million times already, maybe more. Oh, I'm sure. Right. Here's the thing about the video. First of all, it's clear the guy is hiding. Yeah. He's kind of ducking low and just slowly working the straw. He's making the hot dog straw using a straw to create the straw down the center of the hot dog.
So he's kind of ducking low. All right. So there's that. He did not make the beer better. Right. No, there's no way sucking a beer through a hot dog straw makes the beer better.
No way. Now, eating a hot dog and drinking a beer, I'm going to guess that you would swallow the hot dog before you drank the beer. Right. Probably going to guess this is not like milk and cookies, which you could argue that the milk makes the cookie better.
You could argue that or vice versa. So this also could be an indictment of the beer. Maybe the beer was so bad that he needed the hot dog straw to make the beer better. This was an IPA. Right. I said, well, IPAs are fine.
I don't like them too hoppy, but IPAs are fine. So using a straw to drink a beer in and of itself should be a felony. Yeah. Right.
I don't drink anything out of a straw. Maybe if I get soda. Right. It's good enough. Like a drive. Yeah.
Drive through water like that. Sure. Then that's acceptable. But anything else? No, I don't use a straw.
I'll do that. And here's the other part that really struck struck me. He's at the Yankee game at Yankee Stadium. Did you notice the Yankee hat was not Yankee blue? No. But more of a blue green tartan plaid Yankee hat? Pretty sure I've worn a shirt that looked like that.
Absolutely. Or pants. I've worn pants that look like that. That I can't say. That would be a good sporty like sport jacket.
Like to wear the pair of jeans. I'll bet you. Yeah.
I'll bet you that guy was beaten up on his way out of Yankee Stadium. Wow. I have major issues with that video. Maybe too many things right through my head.
Maybe. All right. By the way, so if you go to at John Boy Media on Twitter, if you haven't seen this yet is where you can see the video. Eight and a half million views. Eight and a half million views for that. Yeah.
For that schmuck. Making a hot straw out of a hot dog. I like seriously what? I don't get this. First of all, you are taking two very good things. Just because two things are very good doesn't mean together that makes them great. Right.
You know, that's the thing. A hot dog. Great. A beer. Most of them pretty good together.
What are you doing? Do you like peanut butter? Yeah. Do you like shrimp? Yes. Would you put peanut butter on shrimp? No.
See if I lost a bet. Maybe end of discussion. Yeah. You could make a straw out of a shrimp. Oh, you never like a big jumbo shrimp, but you can make it. You know, we should do.
We should find other things to make draws out of other food. I don't. Yes. Don't let's do footlong hot.
No. Well, it's the same thing. Regardless of how long your hot dog is making a straw out of it is still. I mean, why don't you say maybe we make a kielbasa? Let's try shrimp.
Let's make a straw out of a shrimp. We could do that. But I don't want to do that. All right.
Can I think we should do it? No, no. Move on.
Move on. I can't. By the way, I was actually gone back last night and I was. Something I like to try and do every once in a while is actually try and go back and. Listen to some old radio bits, just like old radio shows. If I can for exactly like on and Fez Opie and Anthony Howard Stern, just because it's the only place you can really can go back and listen to these things. Because now everything for the most part talk radio wise is essentially living on a podcast.
You can go live it anytime you want to. Well, it's hard to go back and listen to some of those things. Well, there's actually on Lisa found on Spotify.
I'm not sure where else is available, but there is actually a Howard Stern basically like past shows podcast. OK, so last night I was listening to a past Howard Stern episode on through Spotify. This was from December 28th, 1993, and there's a sports update.
This is playing on a rock station out in Southern California. Ninety seven one FM KLSX and I listen to the sports update and this is what I heard. And have the exact same record as Los Angeles Raiders. Danny Manning scored 21 points and grabbed a season high 15 rebounds helping the Clippers to a 96 86 win. Danny Manning did something.
Yeah, I know. I was like, wait, Danny Manning did something good. A double double for Danny. One in 15 for the Clippers solid. Yeah. Anyway, I just heard the again as Los Angeles Raiders.
Danny Manning scored 21 points and grabbed a season high 15 rebounds helping the Clippers to a 96 86 win. God, that's what we need to bring back. Bottom of the hour sports casts.
I'm OK with it, by the way. Three things stood out in this one. It was the Los Angeles Raiders. If you heard that was mentioned there. The Los Angeles Raiders listen again and have the exact same record as Los Angeles Raiders. Same record as the L.A. Raiders.
We're going back a long way. So Danny Manning and the fact that Clippers won a game in the 90s like these three things stood out to me. I mean, they were bad, but they weren't over there. They're terrible. They were gosh, pretty awful. Manning wasn't great.
That is so funny. The Los Angeles Raiders. I just not to get off on a tangent real quick. The when the NFL made the decision to expand back to L.A., there was talk about Oakland becoming Los Angeles. But the Raiders. Yeah. The league wasn't going to do anything for the Raiders franchise.
No. But they of the of the options to move to L.A. The only slam dunk they got wrong because the Raiders are L.A.'s team.
Yeah, they are. And look, SoFi is beautiful and they're going to sell out because the Rams are good. But if the Rams and the Chargers aren't good, they'll struggle. The Raiders, they would sell out all. Oh, yeah.
All the time. L.A. is Raiders country. Yeah. Just always has been. I'm with you on that. By the way, the NWSL announced their championship on October 29th.
It's going to be in prime time on CBS, APM. NWSL. Do you see what franchise values have done? They've gone up tenfold. Nice.
Yes. Good for them. They're going to expand coming up in two years. Utah's coming back. They also might have some franchises relocate.
OK. I don't believe that the North Carolina Courage are in danger of that. I don't think so either. They are also dead last in the league. Yeah, but they've won multiple championships. They've re-hauled their roster. They have won multiple championships at some point. And it's not just about attendance, but the organization here needs a little bit of an infusion.
Yeah, maybe. I mean, we we already know that Naomi Osaka is part of the ownership group, but they need a little bit more. They can't be selling off players. They can't be saying, hey, Crystal Dunn, you want to live in Portland.
Here, go to Portland. I mean, they've got two wins. Yeah, they're not having a good year. So, by the way, our good friend Joe Ovi has just showed me two packs of hot dogs.
I can only imagine what they're going to be drinking. Good. That's gross. Yeah, that's gross.
I would never do that. One pack was turkey hot dogs, which, by the way, turkey hot dogs are very good. No, trust me, they are. Oh, no, I've had a turkey hot dog before.
The ones that he showed me, I've had those before, may or may not have had some last night. They're okay. I mean, they're not as good as actual, you know, nitrate-filled hot dogs. That's fair. I mean, I don't eat a lot of hot dogs, but when I'm going to eat a hot dog, we're going to have a real hot dog.
Yeah, we're just going to shoot the moon. Maybe you can drink Blue Moon out of those hot dogs. My wife made me a carrot cake for my birthday, but she made a keto recipe. Keto? Keto. Keto? She called it keto.
Okay. I've always heard keto. Yeah, I think you're right.
I think it's keto. Here's the thing. The icing was good. Okay, the icing's good.
The cake's fine. I got no problem with it. I got no problem with it. Fine.
Saved myself probably 250 calories. I'm all right with that. Okay. Because, you know, I'm getting up there in age. I can't be indulging all the time. It's fair.
It is fair. Off of the crossbar, and the Hurricanes have won the Stanley Cup. June 19, 2006, but it all started May 6, 1997, with the announcement that the Hartford Whalers were coming to North Carolina.
It's a story of transition, of heartbreak, of figuring it out on the fly. The Cane's Corner look at the 25th anniversary of the moon. Presented by the Aluminum Company of North Carolina. Listen now.
Find Cane's 25th anniversary wherever you get your podcasts. It hasn't been officially announced, but word has leaked that the Carolina Hurricanes will have their primary home jerseys switched from red to black. And it's getting some not positive press. Really? Yes. People love the black uniforms.
Personally, I do. What I don't love about the black uniforms, I mean, I think we have an unnecessary silver shoulder, right? Isn't there, like, silver on the shoulder?
A little gray touch there. I think that's unnecessary. What I don't like is that the numbers are largely, they're not easily red. I like bigger, bolder numbers.
Personally, me. But I like the logo, I think it's a clean look, and I endorse going to black as your regular, every evening home color. They'll wear reds during the times where they wore black this year.
I think it was Fridays, right? So they'll wear red on Fridays, my guess. And that's cool. I like the red uniforms, too. But both uniforms are kind of getting panned. And I saw that you had suggested that red would be what they would wear for the stadium series game in February.
No. They already have a stadium series uniform, which is black-based. But it has big, bolder red numbers, which I like. And unless they decide to change from that, I think their stadium series uniform is pretty good. So why are people hating on the fact that they're going to wear black uniforms predominantly? I don't know. They don't like the two-flag logo. Look, our friend Greg Wyshinsky from ESPN doesn't like the red crest on the red uniform, like the eye of the hurricane. Yeah.
Calls it, I think he referred to it as a toilet bowl swirl. Okay. Well, that's not good. Yeah, why would you say that?
Yeah, I don't know why you'd say that. People love the black uniforms. They do.
They do. I do. All right, are you ready? Let's place bets. Place your bets. Place your bets. I bet you slice into the woods a hundred bucks.
Gambling is illegal with Bushwood, sir, and I never slice. Damn it! Okay, you can owe me. I owe you. All right.
Sir. Did you win anything yesterday? No. I lost all three, didn't I? Okay.
I lost all three. Gosh, Liverpool was so bad. They were. They're putrid. Putrid.
Terrible. All right. Let's move on.
Let's see. I am going to go, let's see, English Football League, EFL. Yeah.
Right? EFL Cup. Carabao Cup.
There it is. Liverpool won that last year. Oh, good for them. They beat Chelsea in the final. And penalty kicks. I love seeing Chelsea lose. No offense, I have friends who are Chelsea fans. But I love seeing Chelsea lose more than I want any other team, any other side to lose in the Premier League. Walsall is playing Charlton.
Give me a draw plus 220. These are, it's interesting. Walsall is in League 2, the fifth tier of English soccer. What? Yeah.
Okay. League 2? No, the fourth tier. No, I think they play fifth and Charlton plays a level above. So, but Walsall is hosting, I believe. So good luck to them.
Yeah, I don't know. All right, we're going to go to the Champions League qualifying. This is the second leg now. And we're going back to the Maccabi Haifa. Well, I had them to win and they did, they covered. They won 3-2 over Zvezda. And I'm going to say Maccabi Haifa draws at plus 300.
Okay. On the road and advances into group stage. I believe we're going to have, they're going to draw for groups next week. For the Champions League qualifying?
Yeah, I believe so. It's just so hard to keep track. We have three matches today, three matches tomorrow to wrap up qualifying. All right, give me Mets over the Yankees to win outright plus 110. Mets are, Mets are plus money today. Yeah, I'm taking plus 110.
I totally, totally understand. All right, Cubs, Cardinals. Give me the Cubs at plus 160 today. Okay. Cubs at plus 160. Good for you. Why not? All right, I'm going to look ahead into the weekend here with some college football.
Okay. I'm going to take Charlotte, the 49ers, pulling an upset against Florida Atlantic plus 235. That's hysterical. I'm looking for Albert Pujols to get an RBI today. I can't find an Albert Pujols prop to get an RBI.
I'll see if I can find it for you. Albert Pujols got to do something today, right? All right, but it's all right. I haven't, I haven't seen the plus, but give me a Pete Alonzo home run for the Mets today. You want a Pete Alonzo home run today? It's, it's plus, probably in the neighborhood of plus 300, but I'll take Pete Alonzo anytime home run.
I got a question for you. Sure. Your Cubs, Cardinals, I know we have a minute left. Is that game one or game two? Oh, they're playing in 25 minutes.
I didn't know they were playing a doubleheader. I got, that's why I only said, just give me the Cubs at plus 160 at 220 this afternoon. Okay. That's fine. So that's where we are now. You want a home run? Whatever it is.
I'll find it later. Plus 265. Plus 265, Mets and the Yankees play later, but Yankees beat Max Scherzer yesterday.
They do not have to deal with Jacob deGrom today, but Mets are throwing a pretty good pitcher at him in Tawant Walker. This is the Adam Gold show.
