As always, our FanDuel segment is tomorrow. James Kelly and I.
So make a note of that. We have changed that. It used to be on Thursday. It's now on Wednesday.
So keep that in mind. The FanDuel segment is tomorrow, but the program is presented by FanDuel every single day. What's good? Nice to have you here.
So our number one is wide open. You should use it based on what you saw last night or anything you want to look ahead to. Use hour number one. Our interviews do not start until hour number two. In fact, I've got two interviews, and they're both in hour number two.
So hit us up. Had a good run on the phones. Let's maintain this. Let's sustain this. Can you take it through the end of the year?
One eight zero zero six three six eight six eight six. All I ask in return. It's free. It's toll free. It's paid for.
No waiting. If it's good. If it's good, that's the key. Have a take, don't suck, and then hit me up. If you want to find me on the X, we are still on the X.
Go ahead and do so at Jim Rome. If you want to email me, you can do that. We take your emails, Rome R O M E at haveatake dot com, and of course, we have a YouTube channel which we have worked really hard to build out because we continue to pour into that. Can you help us out? Can you hit the sub button?
It would mean the world to me. Thank you very much ahead of time. Hit the sub button, ring the bell, jump in the chat. If you want to be a distinguished clone, I mean, damn, that's like a grand slam right there. Buck ninety nine a month, and then everybody knows you're different.
You're part of the club.
So hit our YouTube channel if you don't mind. All right, coming up at the top of our number two. Believe it or not, at the end of October. We are talking hockey, and there is a reason for that. Several, in fact.
My man, Mike Rupp, NHL Network analyst, Stanley Cup champ, joins me at one o'clock Pacific time. Bottom, I know, Bella, you love when I talk hockey. Bottom of hour number two, Scott Frost, UCF football coach. They're coming off the biggest win in franchise history. Scott Frost joins me at the bottom of hour number two.
Hour number three is wide open, and there you are. That's how we're starting it off. All right.
So now, typically on Tuesday, and there's no surprise here. You know where I go. The routine on Tuesday is we leave the show with a recap of Monday Night Football.
So I'm sure that Jera Jones and the Cowboy fans are expecting the royal treatment right off the top of the program today. Unfortunately, Jera, you're going to have to wait.
Well, I'll get to you. I'll get to you. Don't you worry. But I need to address my Wisco adopted fam first. That's right, Wisco Jim in the house, shouting out my Wisco adopted fam.
There it is. Look at the vanity plates. If you're watching on the stream, that's what I rolled in today. Wisco adopted fam. I have to shout you out because you're on the verge of your first World Series win ever.
Actually, Wisco, adopted fam, already clinched their first World Series last night. They just did not get around to spraying the champagne or passing around the commissioner's piece of metal, piece of metal, just yet. But don't get it twisted, and make no mistake, they did win. That champagne and hunk of metal celebration is going to happen because the Brukuru are going to be world champions. They already are.
They are, and what a ridiculously deserving, absurdly dominant, aesthetically pleasing baseball team they are! And what a brutal and decisive kill shot we saw in the fifth fifth inning last night. I mean, I couldn't believe my eyes. I could not believe what I was watching. Eight runs in one inning of a World Series game.
Eight runs with two outs in one inning of a World Series game. I mean, to quote a famous phrase of all the dramatic things I've ever seen. Of all the dramatic things I've ever seen. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness gracious!
And there we go, John. And there we go, Wisco. Had to be one of the most brutal and gory scenes in baseball history. One of the all-time examples of having a foot on the throat and then finishing the job by stomping repeatedly. They're already dead.
Why are you still stomping on their melon? You want to talk about a bloodbath? How about seven consecutive batters getting a hit in a World Series inning with two outs? That any good? Seven straight batters getting a hit had never happened in any postseason game ever, let alone a World Series game.
It was also the single biggest two-out rally in World Series history, and at the end of that historic bloodbath, all on the road, mind you, although that was hard to tell. It was ten nothing Brewers. The game was over. The series was over. The season was over.
It was one of the most dominant things I've ever seen on a baseball field, and it very, very, very nearly never even happened. The Rays were a millisecond away from getting out of the fifth unscathed. If Christian Yelich. Didn't just barely manage to beat that force play at second base. Watch this.
I mean, at first glance, in real time, you think they got him, maybe, but they make this force play at second. Then no run score in the fifth inning, and nobody knows how the show opens today, right? But credit to the great, and he is great. Great Pat Murphy for a no hesitation challenge. It was a no brainer.
It was close, but it was an easy overturn. And five pitches later, all hell breaks loose. The rest is literally history. Thanks for coming, Tampa. Thanks for coming, Tampa.
Except Tampa barely showed up, as we feared yesterday. I picked them before the game with the caveat. Please, Rays fan, show up because if you don't, I know Brewer fan will be in the house. There's no way you lose this game. You've got Peralta.
He won 17 for the Brewers last year. It's a must-win game. Your backs are to the wall. You haven't been to the World Series in a few years. Just show up.
Just show up and represent. But nope, that's not what happened. And I don't mean Rays player, I mean Rays fan. Yo, Tampa, where were you?
Now, not to put it all on you, but was there something else going on in town last night? Was there a better party that you need to be at? Was there a better show than watching the Rays play one of the biggest games in franchise history? Why did it almost feel like that game took place in Milwaukee? Probably because half the crowd were Brewer fans.
It costs more to go watch that game in the Brewers' empty ballpark at a watch party than it costs to get a ticket at the Trop. Was that tonight? Or both? Either way, how is that possible? Tampa, I know, I know.
You've come in here for years, and you've laid it all out. We've heard it. It's a tough commute to the park. Traffic is awful. Y'all hate that freaking bridge.
I've heard all the excuses, except they are July excuses. They're not World Series excuses. And when Brewer fan is willing to get on a plane and fly in from Wisco, you really cannot be complaining about how long it takes to drive over that freaking bridge.
Now, again, I'm not blaming you, Tampa fan, because in the end, there really was nothing Tampa fan could possibly do to even that series out. This series was extremely uneven from the jump. The Brewers are just a better team, and that's no insult to Tampa. They're better than everybody. Yes, Padres fan, they're better than you.
Yes, Dodger fan, they're better than you. Yes, Rays fan, they're better than you. That's why they're ten and one in the postseason. They also have an incredible self belief. They're a team of destiny.
They're the best team. They're the hottest team. They're the grittiest team. There's a reason why they're up to three zero in this series. And Tampa fan was not going to save the Rays from that boat race.
Maybe if they show up in full, maybe the vibe is different, or maybe it doesn't matter at all. Right. It's just not the best look when a visiting fan base takes over your ballpark in the World Series. In fact, not only is it not a good look, there's just no excuse for it. Honestly, that said, it was a bad look.
But I would argue not the worst look. There was a way worse look, and that way worse look was when, and I think this actually contributed to that beatdown last night. That worst look was when one of your franchise icons and your most clutch pitchers ever shows up to World Series Game Three, throws out the first pitch, and it has to go down as the worst first pitch of all time. Big game, James Shields. What?
I'm showing this on the stream. Are you kidding me, dude? Show us again. This is a not only a former major leaguer, somebody who played thirteen years in the bigs, one year won sixteen games for them, was third in the Cy Young Award balloting, and couldn't even hit the catcher's glove from way in front of the grass. He couldn't even hit the batter's box.
He damn near hit the mascot. This dude, never mind being on the bump. He's damn near ten feet out in front of the grass. Like I can't believe what I'm saying. A former major league pitcher with maybe the worst first pitch in first pitch history.
I have no idea what he and Joe Madden. Found so funny after that. No idea why those two dudes are hugging it out like the dude just hit triple digits over the black. Because that was hideous and humiliating for everybody involved with the franchise, dead or alive. Dude couldn't even be bothered to hit the catcher's glove.
Dude could not even be bothered to get up on the bump. Fifty Cent cannot believe how awful that was. Mariah Carey is embarrassed for you, bro. Could the Rays not get Carly Rae Jepsen again? Because her attempt was somehow less embarrassing than the actual former big leaguer.
Check her out. She's at least on the rubber. Better form too. I think mechanically she's more sound than he was. It's just not as hard as everybody makes it look, and especially as a former major leaguer made it look.
He didn't even get on the bump. That was like the most embarrassing thing of all. Until he let it fly, dude. How are you not on the bump? I don't understand.
If you're throwing out the first pitch of a World Series game for the team you once played for, how do you not fire a strike in there? Again, you pitched 13 years in the bigs. How could you not hit the catcher's glove from like 13 feet away? How the hell is any of this even possible? And could there have been a worse omen?
Than that is if the Rays had any shot after one of their all-time greats missed the catcher's glove by a country mile from the grass and then managed to hug it out with Weird Joe Madden like it was the greatest moment in Rays history. I mean, it might have been for me. Of course, the Brewers slapped them senseless after that. That. That set the tone for one of the biggest ass kickings ever, and don't tell me it didn't.
And again, how does that happen to one of the franchise's all-time great pitchers? Pitchers, why didn't they go to David Price, or at least this slap? If you're watching on the stream. Our next guest is a king of the jungle from the Premier Radio Network. He's the host of the daily sports talk show on Extra from nine to one.
He broadcasts his show today from the stadium. Then was the guest speaker at the GTE MobileNet Executive Speaker Series. Please welcome the huge one, Jim Rome. Listen, all those Jimbo willing cheering me to first pitch.
Now sit back, relax, and get ready for baseball. With the imagine if I'd gone James Shields or Carly Rae, they were already booing me before I let that fly. Except I was on the bump and I hit the catcher's glove. See, not that hard. Let me help you all out.
And show you how it's done. Yo, raise, yo, big game, James. That's how it's done. And I walked off, man. Look at my swag when I walk off.
Meantime, big James slapping skin, hugging it out with that hippie Joe Madden. Come on, man. Of course you got boat raised after that. That's not how you set the tone. Brewers take over your house.
Former great can't even hit the catcher's glove for a first pitch. Ten runs, seven consecutive hits, all with two outs. Unbelievable! Did not see that coming. By the way, at this point, nothing the Brewers do should surprise me at all.
But did not see that coming. I took the Rays before that game. Obviously, all right.
So normally on a Tuesday, I would start off with the recap of Monday, and the Cowboys can't believe it. The Cowboys are acting like they won something important. The Cowboys are acting like they won the Super Bowl. Man, ever see any team? Any coach, any quarterback, any organization more delusional than the Dallas Cowboys?
Congratulations, Cowboys! You beat a completely beaten down Eagles team, and you were favored.
So, exactly what did you accomplish last night? We'll get into that. In addition to that, uh. Another shock. You'll never believe this.
Wait for it. Kawhi Leonard hurt. Kawhi Leonard expected to miss several weeks. Why? Why?
Why? Kawhi? Are you kidding? Is this guy not the NBA's greatest grifter ever? How many times is this guy gonna work somebody, play somebody?
Well, not play himself, but already out. Swelling. He's got swelling of the knee. Good news is no structural damage. Bad news, swelling.
But but but but but Raptor fan. It's not like he doesn't care. He wrote you a note. He wrote you a note, and he posted it on social. And he really can't believe that these things just keep happening to him.
Ice up. Ice up. But he's expected to miss several weeks. Ice up, son. Ice up.
One eight hundred six three six eight six eight six is your telephone number. If you want to hit me up on the chat, go ahead and do so. Let me take a look really quickly, Romy. The reason Ray's fan wasn't at the ballpark is because Mons Venus had drink specials going at the Script Club. Regards, Bergie in Florida.
Script Club. I don't know, man. If you can't get out of the Script Club. For a must-win game three of the World Series, you've got a real problem with scrippers, man. You love you some scrippers.
If you can't bounce from the script club, hey man, you gotta get off my man, Pac Man. What was that, Ali? Alvy found scripper music.
Okay, I guess you. I guess you weren't going to leave for that. Gail's in quote. Don't get me wrong, but Romi look like a cardio guy even back then. Then now, still the same.
Still hit the still hit the pelle yesterday. Hit the pelle yesterday. War Rome celebrating that pitch with a zima. Probably something stronger than that, dude. Probably something stronger than that.
Given the relief that I had coming off that bump, like I played that cool. I played that pretty cool. But you can assume that I celebrated with something stronger than a zima. I have never had a zema. I remember when zemas were a thing, but I have never ever had a zema.
Never forget. Even my beloved Janno sent me to the bump with. Wait, wait, honey, honey. Yes, Janno. Don't embarrass us.
What? She's like my biggest champion. She is my biggest cheerleader. She is my biggest support system ever. Everything's always great.
Everything's awesome. Everything's awesome. You're doing great. You're doing great. You're doing great.
Hey, hey, hey! Don't embarrass us. Don't embarrass us. Us who didn't have any kids at that point. Thank goodness, man.
Quote. This is from at Apple Pasta.
So I turned on at Jim Rome, and I heard him mention Mariah Carey. I was like, "What?" Then I realized he had to be talking about a celebrity first pitch, right? Why else would I be talking about Mariah Carey on this show? Give me one reason why? Why?
Of course, the first pitch. And why was I talking about the first pitch? Because of that first pitch last night from Big Game James Shields, my dude. You're good enough, dude. Hated to have to do that.
By the way, also if you're watching Mariah, also on the bump, of course with like eight inch heels on the bump. James, if you pitched in the bigs, and you're one of their best pitchers ever, how is it that all these celebrities were courageous enough to get on the bump, but you couldn't? As part of that story, I've shared that before. They ask you when you throw out the first pitch. They say.
Are you throwing from the bump, or do you want to throw from the grass? And the way the guy asked me was—it was more of an accusatory. Yo, punk ass, you're throwing from the bump, aren't you? Come on, man, get out of my grill with that. Yes, yes, please, please.
I mean, it was—it was a challenge. When I was like privately, I'm thinking to myself, I wonder if I can get away with throwing from the grass. Nah, nah, I can't do that. No way, no way, no way. Never hear the end of it.
I'm better off bouncing it five times like Mariah than throwing it from the grass and throwing a pee. I still can't believe that that happened last night. And don't tell me it did not somehow impact how that game went. It did. It may have taken a few innings, but it did.
JR on the four one four quote: I don't go to strip clubs.
Okay, I go to strip clubs. Signed to Eric in Orlando. Still boycotting the Jungle. Hey man, I respect it. I respect that the boycott is still in effect.
I respect that he continues to boycott me. There you go, bro. There you go, bro. See, that's how good of a guy I am. You boycott me, and yet I show a picture of you with a couple of paid models.
This is how good of a dude I am. This is this is how mature I am, and how I've accepted that boycott. You boycott me for no reason, and I show pictures of you with women you pay money to to stand next to you and take a picture of, allegedly. Because I can handle a boycott, I have thick skin. All right, let's break.
Still ahead, your reaction, your telephone calls. Mike Rupp, we're talking hockey. Top of the hour, looking forward to that. Scott Frost, bottom of hour number two. All right, so bring me some energy, bring me some good takes.

So jump up in here right now. Section one eighteen. Nachos. Your kid in the jersey. Kickoff selfie.
It's posted. Three hours at the stadium means three hours that your house sits empty. Here's what you did not think about. Your profile shows your real name. A stranger only needs to put it into a people search site, and then up pops your home address.
Now he knows two things. One, where you live. And two, that you will not be home until the game is over. Your post said, "Go team," but what he heard was, "No one's home." Those sites are data brokers. They package up your life, they sell it to anybody who asks.
Incogni plays defense. Incogni is an online site that sends removal requests to over four hundred and twenty data brokers and people search sites for you.

dot com slash rome because they cannot harm you if they cannot find you. All right, some quick reaction. Ken in SA, Rome. If I had to throw out a first pitch, I'm definitely taking quote a bump. Sincerely, Chris Forrester.
And I miss you, thinking about you, about me, doing this before I go. Ken, the bump, not a bump. That's not the phrase. When they ask you to throw out the first pitch, they don't say, "Are you going to a bump? Are you going to take a bump?" They say, "Are you doing it from the bump?" You know that, Ken.
At hashtag Derek, if Tom Brady was announcing your throw from the bump, he would have called it a piss missile, absolute piss missile up the sideline, Derek. Hey, finally some respect! How great would that have been, Brady, up in the rafters, Jack Murphy, and Rome towing the rubber. Oh, an absolute piss missile! Absolute piss missile!
Having the best. Hey, Rome, that fifth inning played out like an opera episode. You get a hit. You get a stolen base. You get a two-run double.
You get a hit. You get a two-run double. You Jackson get another hit. Almost everyone gets a hit. Seriously, war breaking out the broomstick.
Matt and Green Bay. See, that's the thing about it too. That Milwaukee, they say all the right things, but they mean all the right things. It's Pat Murphy, man. It's Pat Murphy.
I guarantee they're going to show up there looking to finish right now. Let's get this thing done. Let's finish it. And they'll say things like, "Yeah, we're we're going to treat this game like it's Game Seven." Yeah, yeah, right. No, but they will.
But they will. Every single pitch matters. I'm not sure I've ever seen a team quite like that in that regard. Not every at bat. Every single pitch, every single detail, everything matters.
You can tell by the way they play. Everything matters. Offensively, defensively, everything. At thirty sixth, Tucson, Hobby. Hey, Rome.
I also like a strong drink when I hit the bump. Sign Chris Forrester. Hey Ben, miss you. Thinking about you. How about me going to a meeting and doing this before I go?
Wait a minute, Harvey. My man does not have a Hoover like that. Unfortunately, anytime there's any reference to the word bump, in come the Forrester reactions. Hey Ben. Alex Windsor, why did the Padres PA announcer call you the huge one?
Long story, dude. Huge, huge, huge. Long old story. Pick up my book. Maybe, maybe I'll get to it there, or maybe not.
All right.
How about we take a break? I was going to go to the phones. Tell you what, I would love to hit the phones next segment. Give me a reason to go to the phones next segment, and that's exactly what I'll do. One eight hundred six three six eight six eight six.
Give me a reason to go to the phones, and I will do so.
Next segment, I definitely have thoughts on the Cowboys and the Eagles, and where that game leaves both of them. We'll hit that. Mike Rupp, top of the hour. Scott Frost, next hour. Hopefully, phone calls.

You know it's awesome when you think you understand something and then you find out you really don't. But but you have a viewer or a listener to set you straight and correct you.
I actually think that is awesome because when I sit in this box every single day, I'm here to learn something. Like I'm here to entertain and I'm here to give you some insight. I'm here to kind of get you to think about something other than your miserable life. Looking at you, Charles B. But other than that.
It's good for me to learn something, and I do learn something every single day. As an example, Charles B. quote: "This is how it works, Rome. When you see a warm weather stadium filled up with cold weather fans, the cold weather fans didn't fly down there. That's where those Yankees live, you moron.
Oh." Oh, Charles B. Thanks for saying the record straight. Thanks for clarifying that for me.
So all those Brewer fans, they didn't actually fly there; they lived there because they're cold weather fans.
So they were already there. No, hey Chuck, they flew there. They're Brewers fans. They traveled to see their team play. My guy, did you not see all the reports prior to that game?
They did the math. It was cheaper to get on a plane, get a hotel room, and get a World Series ticket in Tampa than it was to get a ticket at a watch party at home. Game four sales by state posted purchases by state for Game Four of the World Series: forty-one point three percent from Wisconsin. Whoops! Apology accepted, moron.
Thirty and a half percent from Florida and three point four percent from Illinois. That's for Game Four. Forty-one percent purchases by state. Hey, moron, Charles B. I thought they were already there.
If they were already there, then what are forty-one point three percent of the purchases doing coming from the state of Wisconsin? What are we talking about here, man? If you have a problem with me or this show, a The hell are you watching for? B, you're gonna have to make a better argument than that. If you're gonna set me straight, correct me.
Have some facts to back it up. What do you mean? The Yankees live there, you moron. Yeah, yeah. Because Tampa has all of these.
Milwaukee natives just waiting for a reason to go out to the yard, and they all live there, bro. I've got a house in Wisconsin. Trust me, they live in Wisconsin. They love their Brewers. They haven't been there since 1982.
You think they're gonna miss that, bro? Do I don't know where you live, Charles, but when you talk about the Yankees, man, they're used to the elements. They're not coming. They're not leaving just to get out of the elements. They live in the elements, man.
They're there to see their team, and they got treated to a show, yo. A beatdown, and then you have this guy, parody Larry. I never thought that parody Larry would have anything to offer. There was above, I don't know, one out of a hundred. Hey Rome, your BFF Eric in Orlando may have girlcotted your show.
See what I mean? Good one, Larry. The girlcotton. My BFF Eric in Orlando may have girlcotted your show, but he sure thinks that he is the star.
Now, when he gets on the haunted horsey after our TV roundup, bah! Hey, I got news for you, Horace. I've never heard your after-hour TV roundup. But if my quote BFF Eric in Orlando is the star of your show, understand this, dude. If he boycotted me, what do you think he'll do to you, Horace?
So enjoy it while you can, Kenneth. E five hundred three incogni couldn't or didn't stop that one kook from storming the studio because we were not we were not in business at that point. They would have, they absolutely would have. There is no way that one kook. Sucking air from that balloon would have stormed the studio, and I would have had to make make a rule about studio storming.
Incogni would have blocked that coup for sure. Believe it. Stucknut Radio. Ask Alvy what percentage of people went to the game from Florida and Illinois. Regards, Ray Buchanan.
Thirty-four. Love Ray. Alex Haddy. He actually was communicating with Ray, and said, "I know you liked Ray from back in the day. You want Ray to come on the show?" I said, "You know, maybe I love Ray, but you love Ray.
Phone calling series up to." And Ray said, "Alex Hattie, you know what? I'm laying pretty low. I'm with my fam. I'm with my kids, doing my thing. But I love Rome, man.
If Rome needs me, I'm there." Quote. He said, "Quote, glad to see he's still at it." Man, Ray Buchanan did one of the most amazing things in jungle history at a tour stop in Tampa on stage, without him knowing I was going to do it. I said, "Ray, I understand you can rap a little. Can you give me a little something?" Can you give me a couple of rhymes? And then Ray just let it rip.
Seven years off in the pros. In case you didn't know, professional at the door, mobbing slow, play to win for real though. Iced out from head to toe. Not to brag, just let you know. Studios, I drop my flow on the field.
You already know who's the man. Thirty four, Shy Town. Here we go, ATL. I made my dough. If you didn't know, now you know.
Dollars, we banging some. Ray Buchanan has dropped the gun, dropping them things, flipping them things, staying. That was incredible, actually. I mean, this was not in 2026 where everybody's got social media. Everybody's got an album.
I mean, this was back in the day. There was no social media. He was just up there on a stage. Probably, I'm not going to say it was in Tampa. It was not our biggest turnout, but there were probably 10,000 people there, 9,000 people there, and he just got up there and just did that.
He didn't know I was going to ask him. One of my favorite tour stop moments ever. Let's go to the phones. One eight hundred six three six eight six eight six. John, Portland.
Here's something we have not talked about yet today. There are a lot of people are talking about, but he got there first. Yo, John, good to have you. What's going on? Hey, Romy.
Thanks for taking my call. Yeah, I just wanted to say that the Seahawks trading for Quinton Nelson really isn't going to keep me up at night. The only thing I'm nervous about is the 12 bags saying that they're so back after beating the Chiefs and making this this trade for a rental. The other thing I'm worried about though is the rest of the NFL picking at these dead carcasses like the Colts and the Eagles, and the 49ers just sitting back. Last thing I am worried about is Jed Pork lurking around the sidelines down in Atlanta like he's Urban Meyer.
Prowling around, dude. Just go back to Ohio and stay there. Let us just focus on the game, okay? Hey, man, I have full faith in Coach Flat Bill going forward. Though it's still the quest for six, man.
Thanks for taking my call, Romy. I'm out. Rack him, rack him. Nice job. All right.
So we mentioned the Quentin Nelson trade.
So on the one hand, he says I'm not worried about that. I'm not worried about that. I'm not worried about Seattle. I'm not worried about that rental. I'm not worried about the Seahawks getting over on the Chiefs.
I don't know, dude. Maybe you should be. Maybe you should be. So that set up perfectly for Seattle. They were at home.
It was prime time. They needed it, and the defense showed up big. And Sam Darnold played well, except for that one pick. Maybe if if I were you, I'd be a little more concerned about that. And in terms of the rental, pretty good rental.
What that rental tells me is Seattle thinks that they're still right there. They're in it. They're in it to win it right now, and they're all in. They're dead serious, whatever you want to call it. Every chip to the center of the table.
They're making moves. You got a championship defense already. Let's make sure we get our quarterbacks and protection. Let's make sure that we put Sam in good spots. When Kenneth Walker walked out that door, our repeat did not necessarily go with him.
In fact, we shut him down on Sunday night.
Now, I think, and then you you then double back with. By the way, I am a little concerned that Jed Pork is on the sideline, and that while everybody's picking the carcasses of the Eagles and the Colts, that the forty nine ers aren't doing anything. I saw John Lynch trending this morning. It was mostly Niner fans not happy about that. Hey, don't worry.
There will be other Colts available. Lots of other Colts available. That's just the first one. Apparently, old Carley has been taking notes. Can you believe it?
It was five minutes ago that they were eight and two. And thought they were a player away, and traded two number ones for Sauce Gardner, and now it's a complete fire sale. Who's next? How bad is it too when you get fleeced by the Jets? When has that ever happened, other than right there?
And then, how much worse would it be if Sauce is one of the next guys to move? I mean, he's got to be on that list, right? Jonathan Taylor, Keenan Allen, Sauce, Buckner, Nelson's already gone. Man, that's going to be ugly, ugly. If you're getting ready for work right now, and you're Shane Steichen, you're probably wondering why.
If you're getting ready for work right now, have a have a good few more weeks, Shane. Enjoy yourself. If you're getting ready for work right now, and you're Shane Steichen, you're probably wondering how many more times you'll be getting ready for work right now. If you're getting ready for work right now, who did they trade while I slept?
Next up for the Colts, the Jags in Duval. Have fun with that. Not too late to move somebody before then. Not too late to move Jonathan Taylor. Before then, hey V, don't call me about our Vikings getting JT.
I'll save the trouble. All right, when we come back, I'm going to switch up. Talk some hockey, Mike Rupp. Stanley Cup champ NHL Network analyst joins me in about five minutes. Do not go anywhere, Scott Frost, who led UCF to their biggest win in school history, one forty.
