Matt is great. We're talking the same language all week. We're in each other's ears. Earlier on the show. NFL Network Insider Mike Garifolo.
Still to come. ESPN NFL analyst Jason McCordy. And now, it's Rich Eisen.
So, all the phone calls we can possibly take, and there's a phone line open right now. It can be filled, 844-204-Rich, being that old number to dial right here on the program. Whether you're watching us on Disney Plus or the ESPN app, or listening to us on ESPN Radio Sirius XM Channel 80, love to chat with you all.
So, one of the first, if you will, shots fired on the contractual front this. uh off season came from Uh Tampa. When Vita Vea said he wanted a new contract, clearly he wasn't getting it, and he demanded a trade. From Tampa. And um and suddenly was just standing around for practice.
And he was holding in. Holding out anymore just doesn't happen. No. Because Players kind of picked up on the fact that if you're holding out. You give your um Your team, the option of saying, well, we can't do anything.
I'm only talking about the guys that are here. Says the coach. Then you might get fined. Says the general manager.
Well, I mean. We can't really talk until he comes in. And then of course there's that part. Yeah. That they cost you money.
So the hold-ins now happen. And what ends up happening at the old Caddyshack line, the old Rodney Dangerville. Ooh, my aunt.
Well, for Vita, it was his back. Oh, oh. Again, like. It's something that you can't, you know, there's no crutch, there's no cast for the back. Like, hey, you say you got a bad back, you got a bad back.
Which is why everybody's like, oh, McCaffrey in San Francisco, he's got tightness, huh? Yes. And that happens just after Jameer Gibbs and Bijan Robinson hit it. Doubling up what McCaffrey's making this year, even though the contract extension that McCaffrey's on in year one right now made him. One of the richest running backs, if not the richest running back ever at the time, at any rate.
So when Todd Bowles stepped to the uh podium, And uh word was filtering that Vita Veya has gotten his new contract. Lo and behold, hid it. With A's back injury, how does that rehab so long for him? You should be good to go next week. Hey, readers should be good to go next week.
Interesting. Oh, how weird. All right. You don't say. Yeah.
Because he got a contract extension. You know what I mean? The Bucs gave him enough money to suddenly. Get rid of that. pesky demand for a trade.
It's a one year extension for thirty million. Ties him to Tampa for two more million. He gets $6 million in new money this season. Yadda, yada, yada. Oh my god!
So the bucks didn't stop there. Oh, look at that. Wow. Wow. Pew pew.
Look at us. Look at us as a pew-poo. As a show. We're turning phrases. All right, Vita Vea, you happy now?
Look, uh I always wanted to be a buck. and I wanted to be a buck for life. And so I'm glad that we were we were able to get this done. This is something that happens every year. I just ho so happened to be me this year.
Um but There's just stuff that we both had to figure out on both sides, and we got it all squared away.
So I'm happy. We can put that all behind us and move forward from here on out. What great news for the Bucks, man. I always wanted to be a Buck for life, except that part when I asked for a trip. I mean, he had to hold his breath.
Yeah. I mean, the negotiations got to a point where. He had to hold his breath. You know, I'm trust me, I know that. I've been in a few.
of these types of things.
Sometimes, you know, Um You get angry. You take it personally. Because you have no choice but to. Like, why do you make it so damn difficult? Yeah.
And um sometimes you just gotta you know Just wait it out. This Is the business we've chosen? He said it happens every year. Just this year was him. This year's my time.
Tire in a barrel, right? Yeah. So, yeah. But hey. The Bucks at the end of the day realize Just like everybody who gets involved in negotiations, the management has to realize.
Without him. We're not nearly as damn good. Right there in the middle of that defense, he is the guy. I mean, off of everything. Everything good on that side of the ball, when it happens good, comes off of what Vita Veda does up front.
So everybody knew it. They had it. They could not go into the season without it. They just couldn't.
So I'm glad they did figure it out, and cooler heads prevailed. Um And in case everybody was wondering, 'Cause this happens every year with Tampa. In the Bowles era, Is um The hot seat. Is he on it? Yeah, man.
Even though he wins divisions with the exception of just last year. Last year the wheels really fell off. They did, but things just weren't Your baker was banged up. That didn't help. All of it.
And boy, they had an opportunity to win the division anyway and couldn't. And lost the division. to a team that Hadn't won in a while and didn't finish above 500.
So he had this to say about Todd Mowles, hit it. Kinda want to set the record straight. I feel like there's a lot of A lot of stuff going about on bowls. I feel like None of it is bull's fault. And I feel like we all love balls.
You guys, every player in the locker room.
So that's one thing I want to set the record straight as. We all love both. It's not um It's not what he's doing. You know, he's telling us what to do. He's giving us all the answers to the test.
And it's on us players to be able to go out there and execute what he's telling us to do. He's always putting us in the best position to play.
So That's one of the main things, just being able to take coaching. and in that light.
So If anything is on blameless players for not executing, always puts us in the best position to. Two in games. I even told Bowles, I was like, the day he retires is the day I retire. That is a massive Show of support there. Good for him.
Yeah, big endorsement. Good for him. So, what if he leaves next year, though, is Vita? He's the quarterback of the defense. Man, Vita's got 40 million reasons to stick around.
True. He's the quarterback of the defense. Yeah. The quarterback of the team, Baker Mayfield, has been saying, We're going to surprise a lot of people. That would be great.
Buck schedule. Let's see. At Cincinnati to start home for Cleveland. That's circled for Baker. And again, Minnesota and Green Bay.
Back to back, three home games in a row, right off the bat. Then a visit to Dallas to kick off week five on Amazon Prime. Good stuff. I mean, Baker talked about surprising people. They're big favorites to win that division.
Is that right? Yeah. Yeah, that's what was confusing about that. Statement. They have the same odds to win the South as the Lions do to win the North.
Let me ask you this question because I'm not surprised.
Okay, they've got a lot of good young players. Uh Kenneth Gainwell. Was the main offensive engine for Pittsburgh last year? He's gone there.
Now he's with. Bucky Irving. Who, if he stays healthy, those two guys correct. Really good pass catchers, both of correct.
So You create some matchup problems and off you go. Godwin stays healthy. Abuka last year had a terrific first half of his rookie season.
So I'm not surprised at it, but why do people think Carolina's going to fall off? That one I don't get. You don't believe in Bryce Young? Is that why? Defensively, they added Devin Lloyd and they added Jalen Phillips.
And we had a caller from Connecticut basically just say: I think the Eagles are out, and I think the Jaguars are out because the Eagles lost Jalen Phillips. What about that? And the Jaguars lost Devin Lloyd, and Carolina got them both.
Okay, defense, great. What about the Panthers' offense? Scares you. Oh, I'll tell you. Tech McMillan, one of twenty.
thousand yard receivers last year. and jailing coker. Dude was torching people in the last month and a half of the season.
Okay. Caught a touchdown pass against the Rams in the playoffs. All right, Carolina beat the Rams at the end of the regular season last year and damn near won and done the Rams. You always talk about you need to see it, you got to prove it. I mean, Bryce Young, I really need to see more.
No, and you have every right to say that. I'm just, I'd be a little bit, I wouldn't be surprised if Carolina surprised some people, too. Everybody thinks the Saints are. Yeah, I like Shelche. And the Falcons, because they had only one first down with two in his first two drives, is a Falcons.
I like Shelves better than Bryce Young this year. I hear you.
Okay, who's been on Josh in Iowa? Wants to chime in right here on the Rich Eyes Show. What's up, Josh? You there, Josh? Yeah, speaking.
Hey, you're on the air, Josh. Hello, Josh. Hey, how you guys doing? What's up, man? What's up?

Yeah, we're getting the dub. Eight, no. Home for the Bucks. I like Baker, I like B Dave. Yeah.
Yeah, we're gonna lose that one. I thought we were doing it. I thought we were going there. I thought we were doing the thing. I thought we were doing it.
I thought Josh is calling it. Josh is calling it all laid back. I had high hopes. You know? He's just got all that ethanol in him.
And, you know, all of a sudden, yeah, I thought, okay. Home for the Saints. Yeah, Dub. We're back. Nine and one at the Lions on Thanksgiving.
At the Lions. Yeah, we're getting the dub. 10 and 1, home for the Jaguars. Yeah. Yeah, Trevor Lawrence and then they're picking it up a little bit, but Yeah, we're winning.
11-1 at the Dolphins. I'm a big fan of Malik Willis. I think they're going to get the W. Oh, wow. Yeah, he's going to have 11-2 at the Bills on a Saturday night.
No, the easy win. Twelve and two, Christmas Day against the Packers. Yeah, we're winning. 13 and 2. Home for the Lions.
Now we're going one and one against them. We lose. All right. Um.
Okay. Now you've got uh A visit to the Vikings. Yeah, we're winning. Okay, you've got them 14-3. Thanks for the call, Josh.
That's Josh in Iowa. Man, I just thought he's like, Yeah, what's up, man? How are you doing? What are you smoking, bro? Give me some.
17-0. Instead, he has him 14-3. Josh is chill. He's got you back. I mean, 14-3, that's one seed NFC.
Of course it is. Homefield throughout. I mean, Super Bowl champion. Starting 8-0 by winning at Seattle, beating the Patriots at home, going up to Green Bay and beating them again, taking care of the Eagles again. You know, the Eagles are going to want to lay it on them because they got it laid on them in their house in front of the whole country day after Thanksgiving last year.
Easy win. 72-3 is the final score of Bears in Green Bay. I might have to go to that week seven Thursday nighter. Who? You're gonna go you're gonna go to Chicago boots on the ground really I don't know.
I mean, they're moving to Indiana soon. Maybe the last chance to see my team in Soldier Field. That's pretty awesome. All right. Good point.
And I just. Good to know. Talking out loud. All right, it's all right. Yeah.
Oh. I feel like we should have a presence at some of these games, man. We do.
Okay. When we go to the Rams games. You can go to the Rams games. I mean, the Monday nights would probably be easier for us to be part of, since that's our show-wise. I mean, I don't know how you're going to.
No, I know. I understand. I understand. I just want to make sure that the Mike Cube's seen there just as I promote here in Disney Plus. You really want to go to Chicago, huh?
Right? By the way, one of the greatest cities. I've never been to a game there. I mean, obviously, see the pats on the I mean, that could be a Super Bowl preview.
So I think it could be fun. Dude. You mean me and Adam play a little road trip? A repeat of the Super Bowl in New Orleans. That's right.
Yeah. Yeah, man. You don't want to repeat that one. Spankling. That was a little bit before I was a Pat's fan.

Against the Yankees in the bottom of the seventh inning of a tied game 3-3. Uh And the replays show it's clearly a home run. Clearly. And it comes back, stands as cold. No home run.
That's insane. that it It it did not Like, it hit the foul pole. It went over it, but it was clearly to the right. It was inside it. Like, I walked in the room late.
Right? 'Cause I was elsewhere in the house. And Coop says this is going to be a home run, Dad. And we look at the replay again, and all I see is the tower. Of the Foul pole and the ball go to the right of it.
And I said to Coop, I'm like, who hit it? He goes, Alonzo. And I'm like, so. There's no chance that foul poll's in Rye Field, is it? Because it's clearly a foul ball, if that's the right field foul.
Right, right. No, he goes, no, daddy pulled it. And I'm like, okay.
Well, we're waiting and it comes back stands is called. That's crazy. I don't know how that happens. And it's infuriating. It's pretty embarrassing.
Well, I mean, that's embarrassing. Nothing upsets me more. Cause I'm such a replay hunk when it comes to the NFL for sure. And I was excited that Replay came into. Major League Baseball.
And you know, I sat here for those maybe new to the show, because we're on Disney Plus for the last year. I sat here and I was the one who said, they've got to mic these umps off. They've got to mic them up. And they have to explain what the ruling is. To the fans, 'cause remember they used to just come out from the replay and just go Wave it off or point to the base where they're supposed to go.
Like they were just, you know, using s what, semaphore? Right? Like on a b like on a boat? Did I get that right? You're the Coast Guard kid.
I have no idea what you're talking about. Anyway, long story short, the hand signals. They're using hand signals. Oh, cases. It just infuriates me.
When replay gets botched so badly. And the Yes broadcast showed the. The um The replay center, there was like four people looking at it. I just watched it. That's clearly a home run.
Yeah, yeah, that is both. And this is crucial because, you know, the Orioles are in a, what, six-team mosh pit for that final playoff spot in the American League right now. Like it seems like all you got to do is finish 500 and you're going to get that spot. Man, that's infuriating. That was such a bomb, too.
And then there was an umpire in Toronto this weekend. When the Yankees were playing in Toronto, Who asked Aaron Judge to rep Aaron Judge. Aaron Boone. Did you see this one? He asked him, what did you say?
Boone was on him because he was He was so far off. That the, you know, they were replaying and, you know, ABS challenging and ABS challenging. Um And um missed one low. And he called it a strike. And uh he turns to Boone and he says to him, uh What did you say?
R like, repeat what you said. And Boone looks at him and you could read his lips, not that you know, go full John Boy, but. He says, I thought it was low. And the ump says, That's what I thought you said, and threw him out. And Boone's yelling at him about you can't challenge everything because that's what the ump said.
If you don't like my calls, challenge them. And it's like, we don't get to wait a minute. The ABS is supposed to get you better. Right. It's supposed to get you better.
And you can't challenge from the dugout. Right, and you can't tell the batter to challenge either. No. The batter has two seconds to challenge. Quick, and that's another thing about the challenge system is these.
These players sometimes aren't given the challenge because they take longer than a split second to tap their helmet. And sometimes the umpire is not looking at the helmet tap and they think that the tap's coming too late. And that's why I'm like, now do we have to replay? an ABS challenge. No, let's go to the replay.
You could see I tapped it early in time.
Okay, comes back. All right, you can now have your challenge. Let's take a look at it. Mm. It just infuriates me.
Yeah, it's still not perfect. I mean, it helped the Yanks, I'll tell you that. Yanks scored two more times and then they won it, and they're now. you know, five back of the rays. And um Thankfully, good lord.
Four clear of the Red Sox in the lost column. I thought you were going to take us. I thought you were going to run us down after 35 and 5. Yeah, I felt like Bellinger's supposed to come back this weekend for the Yankees, so at least there's that. That's all right.
Sox was still playing real good baseball. And now the Orioles, who were two games ago. Two games ago, when the Yankees came into Baltimore on Tuesday. They were in the final wildcard spot. They're now a game and a half out.
Well, Twins just swept the Braves.
Well, the Twins are in that spot now. And again, this is how Fast you can fall. 'Cause the Orioles were sixty one and sixty four. in that final spot for the American League wild card, And two losses.
Now Down, there's three teams between them and the team that's in that spot they occupied two games ago. And they're tied with the Tigers. The Mariners are two and a half out. This this, you know, that's the John Sterling line.
Well, that's baseball, Susan. When you refer to Susan Walmart, that's baseball. How about the Mariners beating the Brewers last night? After losing to them the night before, 22-0. 22-0.
And the 20th run that the Brewers scored. Came on a sap flaw at a center, When J-Rod in center field threw it into the left center field stands because he thought it was the third out. That was a rough game. I know. That's baseball.
But the Mariners are still in it, too. It's seven games under, and they're still alive. I mean, that's the American League, right? The American League is tough. Let's go back to the phone lines here on the Rich Eisen show.
Let's go to Jared. In Sioux Falls, the South Dakota. What's up, Jared? He's up. You there, Jared?
Oh my goodness. Jared people in the heartland of this country. Hold them. Yeah, put him back on hold. Gave him a shot.
I gave him a shot. Kyle in New Mexico. Let's take Kyle in New Mexico's call. What's up, Kyle? Oh.
Holy smoke. Hey, am I on the Rich Eisen show? I can confirm it, Kyle. Please believe it. Confirm it.
What's up, man? You know, I want to play the win-loss game for the one and only team in Denver, Colorado, the Denver Broncos.
Okay. Let's do it. I've got it right here. Kyle in New Mexico, why are you a Broncos fan? Is that where you're from originally?
Or just the halo effect of the. Of the mountain time zone reaches New Mexico for you. Is that it? Uh. No, so I'm originally from Las Vegas before the Raiders, you know, raided that place and uh Moved to Colorado.
My family are a bunch of Bronco fans, except for my dad. He's a filthy Cowboys fan. Oh, you know, had more special joy than the Cowboys in the last, you know, 20 plus years, whatever.
So that's the best.
Okay, here we go. What happens Monday night, opening night in Kansas City? What a week one finale this is. What do you got? I'll tell you what.
Ready for this, Bridge? Sure. Broncos, get a W. Week one. I wasn't ready for it, so I'm glad you gave me the heads up.
All right, 1-0 now, home opener against the Jaguars. Oh, that small market team from Jacksonville. That's another win. Spanked you last year. Rams visit now.
Oh, okay. By the way, if you don't think Sean Payton's going to play that up that week. Same thing with Liam Cohn. They're coming for us. Liam Cohn versus Sean Payton is just going to be like, who's bigger?
They might have that as a halftime ceremony. All right. What do you got for me? He's saying that he's going to size the head coach up if there's a fight.
So, you know what?
So be it. Rams at Broncos. What do you got? The number one offensive line against maybe Aaron Donald and Miles Garrett. We'll go Broncos.
3-0 at the Niners. You know, they didn't want the smoke in Mexico City, so Broncos will get that win. 4-0 at the Chargers. Uh we'll lose that. But now you turn right around short week home for the Seahawks.
You know, throwback week, both teams bringing out their best unis. Broncos will win that. Orange, crush it. They got five and one at the Cardinals. Do we have to say it?
Broncos win. Six and one. Do you sweep the Chiefs? In Denver? Yes, sir.
All right. Seven and one at the Panthers. No Superman to save him there. That's a win. Eight and one.
Home for the latest. Uh well That's a win. Kirk Cousins or Mendoza, I don't care. Nine and one. It's the Friday after Thanksgiving in Pittsburgh.
Uh You know? They can take those terrible towels somewhere else because Denver's claiming that place as a victory. 10-1, home for the Dolphins. Ha ha ha ha ha. Jalen Waddell game goes off for 500 receiving yards.
You heard it here. That's a record. 500 receiving yards. Got that one right down there at the Jets now. Rich, I'm sorry.
That's alright. That's now eight wins in a row. for a 12-and-1 record going into Vegas. I'll be there for that game. Another Broncos home game.
13 and 1, and then you turn right around. And you got yourself a Christmas game. Home for the Bills. Hey, Bills fans, that was a catch, and that's a win. Broncos.
Wow, too soon. Hashtag 10 straight wins at the Patriots now. Oh. Historically, we don't do well in Foxborough, but sick May, he's gonna taste that orange crush D. That's a win.
15-1. Woo! Home against the Chargers to finish up. All right, well, it's Super Bowl champion, right? You know Arbaugh will bring out his khakis.
I'll give him that. Oh, wow. Do you think the Chargers sweep the Broncos, but your team has the only two losses of the season? 15 and 2. I will say, chargers always have our number and they always play as pump.
And I just see them doing that this year. 15 and 2. All right. So, Kyle in New Mexico, you going to Los Poiros Hermanos after hanging up now? Get more of that stuff?
I'll send you some. It might not taste good in the mail, but I'll send you some. Hey, Kyle, Rich is eating pizza that has been sent through snails. I didn't do that. He'll be fine.
I put that in my software. He'll be fine with some envelope chicken. I want to thank you for faking the Broncos to win the division yesterday, by the way.
Okay. You have a big brain there. I just react to what I see, Kyle. That's all. Fantastic.
Well, you got good eyes, brother. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise. Thank you, Kyle. Kyle in New Mexico bringing it. There we go.
We got it. When you call and you play the win-loss game, you got to bring it. Move it along, have some energy, here we go. Right? 15 and 2 for the Broncos is a tall ass order.
At Kansas City, home for the defending AF, I mean, seriously, at Kansas City on a Monday night. Then home for the defending AFC South champs who punked him. In that building last year, the Then home for the Los Angeles Rams with most likely Garrett and Donald and everybody else coming for him. That's a tough first six inch. And then at San Francisco after that.
And then at the Chargers and home for Seattle. Their first six games, it's stupid. That's crazy talk, man. At the Chargers, and then you come back home for a quick turnaround against the defending Super Bowl champs. And then at some point, you go to Arizona, you go to Carolina, you go to Pittsburgh, you go to the Jets, you go to Vegas, and you go to New England.
I mean, of those teams, you I mean, one of them is going to be a surprise, wouldn't you say, on average? Yeah. Yeah. Year to year, right? Like Arizona could be tougher than you think.
Carolina could be above 500 this year in a total division winner. to follow up last year feeling good about themselves. Pittsburgh could be a much better offensive team. Rodgers feels good. Vegas.
Fernando Mane has engulfed him. I left the jets off. You never know, man. Gino starting week two today.
Okay, there you go. I hate this team. I would be I mean look six and three at the bye I think is probably best case scenario. Really? Best case scenario we just heard.
I mean, talking about realistic scenarios. Best case scenario is they lose only twice all season long. Realistic scenario. Broncos are going to be a problem, man. That first six weeks is a gauntlet.
TJ, have you done the win-loss game? You did. 14-3, you had the Cowboys going, just like Hart Denton. Mm-hmm. Uh Dutton Ranch fame.
Yeah. People's semant uh people's what is that? People's Mailman in Texas had him fourteen and three. Mm. 14 and 3.
Well, in my defense. Three, 14, and 3s there. And then the fans of the Broncos, Martin and Colorado, 13 and 4. Uh Derek in Missouri twelve and five. Kyle in New Mexico just Had them hold his beer.
In my defense, though, 15 and 2. I picked that day. I was riding high off the LeBron news.
Okay. I don't know if I. Oh, you want to redo? You want to redo? That's true.
I probably should. Start it. Hit it. Right now? Whoa.
Right now. Come on, baby. Come on. Looks like you got your shoes from Dan Lennon. You're feeling good about it.
Let's see. TJ, TJ, I am riding on the Cowboys schedule. All right. And I'll tell you if it's different.
Okay. All right. And again, LeBron is still a sixer. That is true.
So maybe nothing's going to change.
Okay. All right. Do they beat the Giants to start the season? Naturally. Do they then beat the Commanders the next week?
You know it. Do they lose to the Ravens the next week? Yeah, I'm afraid so.
Okay, and then did they lose to the Texans? Yeah. All right. Did they beat the Buccaneers the next week? Week five, Thursday.
Pete Bay is back now.
Well, we beat the Bucs shortly. Right. Do you go over to the Packers and win that game? Nah, we lose that game. Oh, that's different.
Do you beat the Eagles on a Monday night in Philadelphia? LeBron might be there, so yeah, we win that game. All right, that's different, too. LeBron might be there. That's different, too.
Um So you're pretty much the same right now. Do you beat the Cardinals at home? No. No. That's what those.
The Cardinals are one of those teams, man, that has our numbers on them.
Okay. Sound like that. Do you beat the Colts on the road? Respectfully. Do you then beat the Niners at home?
You know how I always say that's a hurdle we've yet to get over, and until we are able to Ronaldo Skeets, Nehemiah get over that hurdle, I ain't gotta take the L. You're taking the L? Yeah. Okay. Do you beat the Titans?
Hey, no disrespect to the Ball Brotherhood of Titans coaches, but yeah, that's a dope. Do you beat the Eagles on Thanksgiving? I gotta be honest with myself, guys, and say that we'll probably split with the Yardbirds.
So I'll take the L.
Okay. On Thanksgiving. Thanks. All right. I don't like it.
Jeez. All right. You're at the Seahawks on a Monday night. You know, at first I said dub, but I've been watching hard knocks. I like the way the Seahawks go about it.
Now the propaganda's gotten to you.
So, uh,. You got him losing three or four when you go.
Now you're visiting the Rams. Yeah, I'll take the L at this. All right, you now have him losing three in a row. You're looking for the Jaguars. We beat the Titans, so.
No, no. You have them losing on Thanksgiving to Philly. Yeah. You have them losing in Seattle and now losing at the Rams. I didn't say we didn't even get to that.
No, no, it's not the Rams. I was talking about Seattle. All right, so now you're at the Rams. You're going to win that one? We're going to win that.
So I'm going to be there. Me and Del Tufol. Great. You've got the Jaguars at home. Dub C.
You got the Giants at home. Come on. And you're at Washington. You know.
Okay. So you have them. Two and two to start again, three and two to start again. Then you got them going three and three, four and three. Four and four.
Okay. Five and four. Um Five and five? Going into the game against the Titans 6-5, then you have them losing on Thanksgiving. That's 6-6, then 6-7.
You haven't started six and seven. And there's 2.0, and then 4-0, 4-0 to finish up. 10-6. 10 and 7. 10 and 7, pardon me.
I like my first one better than this. It's probably somewhere in the middle. I think it's somewhere in the middle.
Somewhere in the middle. You're not going 10-7. No way. I don't think we're on 14-3. I don't think we're on.
So, yeah. I think they've got it right to the point where the usual. is going to be Yeah. Off the table. And the usual is a you know shooting themselves in the foot.
I think they might win in Rio over the Ravens. I think their first loss might be. You know what? I'll play the Dallas Cowboys winning this feature. Oh, let's do it, Rich Rick.
What are we doing right now? No, we'll do it. Let's take a break. You know, mine are a lot of our team's tendencies. Like I said, the pack usually get us the Cardinals.
Or, you know what? I'm just going to hold that in abeyance. I'm going to hold that off until next week. How does that sound? Because we've got all these folks wanting to play the win-loss game sitting right here.
Coming up in hour number three is Jason McCordy, new to Monday night countdown. 844-204-Rich. Number to dial right here on the program. Don't go anywhere. Back with more in a moment.

So, um, Following up. Pete Alonzo says he was told the reason why they did not give him a home run. Despite The replay clearly showing the call of his home run being foul was wrong. Is quote: What I was told is in order to overturn a call, you need to have two camera angles to confirm it. He said two.
Hmm. But the best view, the only view that shows the ball fair or foul is the one down the line, but no other camera angle is available, so video room rules it foul. Umpire obviously called it foul initially, it is what it is. I said two! Then what they need to do is what Alonzo also said last night is um or the manager um Craig Albernaz said.
Put one on the uh foul pole. On the foul pole. Yep. They have a camera inside the uprights now in the NFL. still not perfect.
You still can't tell if the ball has gone directly over the upright. Or not. I mean, the camera tries to. It's still not perfect, but at least you got a better view. You know, can we have one of those 360 cameras that are up there that you could see where they're all.
Yeah, I don't know. How about a pole with a freaking laser on it? That's what I'm in. Throw a laser on it.
Well, Fox puts cameras in both poles when I do the games. But when you do that? We have no for the national games. It's for everybody. They have them for all their games.
Where do they put it? Right in the middle of the foul pole or on it? It's right on it. It's usually on the inside or outside, depending upon where they can fit it.
So you see, you'll see. It goes up, it doesn't go out, or it's multi-directed. It goes up. It goes up or it goes, yeah.
So it'll follow. That's why you see a lot of those runs when you see it. It'll follow the base. Yeah, they follow it up. Yep.
So you can see if the balls Right there. Do you personally get on the ladder to affect it to the point? I'm not a heights guy. I'm not like heights. Just want to make sure.
Not what I mean. Not a heights guy. Not a heights guy. No, no, no, not a heights guy. What they really did is they cost Pete a chance to move into 176th place in the all-time home run list is what they did.
It cost him. Why didn't the Mets resign him? I don't know, man. TJ. It bothers me.
It's always going to bother me. Brock Minos. That dude should have retired a Met. P. Delonzo is my favorite baseball player.
Come on. That's up there with him. Loved him from day one. Remember, we had him on the phone when he was a rookie, the Polar Bears. We've talked Seinfeld shows with him.
I mean, I do recall. Yeah. I don't remember those. Yeah. He phoned in.
Bruckman, remember two weeks into his rookie season, I came into work and said to you, Pete Alonzo, our rookie, is going to hit 50 home runs this year. Oh, yeah. You kind of rolled your eyes at me. All right, let's get to it. We were in New York at the time.
Let's get to it, guys. Let's get to it, everybody. We had Dan Lanning on the program the other day. Oh, yes. We had the head coach in football.
Last Friday. Was it last Friday? Yeah, this past Friday. It was the 14th. A couple days ago.
You can't even keep track of the days. The time flies. You got a baby girl about to become the womanhood, you know.
So you chimed in about. Shoes because you and Brockman are shoe nuts. Just like Jack. Yeah. My nephew.
Shout out to Jack. Jack Schuster. What up, Jack? What up, Jack? Um Alright, here's the exchange.
Hit it. You've got the Oregon Jordans are like, they're holy grail. They're hard to get.
So, Coach, if you have any spare 13 around and you want to send like 11 over here. I'm just saying. They're hard to get.
I mean, you know how lucky you are that you wear 13? That's the same size as me. I got a feeling you might be all cash in. Wow. And then we might have to add Oregon to my banner.
You know, it might be okay.
Now you'll become a fan. If we add Oregon, is it fair to say we should take somebody off the banner? Yes. Yes. We just keep it like whatever the number is.
Okay. If you add a team, you remove. It's kind of like. I'm okay with that, Coach. All right.
Now. Wow. You should thank who cut that? Was that Jordan cut it? Smitch cut it?
Okay, Jordan Sherrow. What's up, Jordan? You should thank Jordan for giving the edit that way because you fumfered around. And I'm like, what are we doing? Fumfered.
You were haggling with him for a good 30 seconds. Fumford. And again, those decisions I was watching you make in real time when you have the head coach of Oregon saying, you're lucky that we have the same size foot. But at any rate, you finally agreed to Put Oregon on your On your uh your graphic. But not until you got the shoes.
No, that's not necessary. Is that? I don't control the graphics.
Okay, but that box has arrived from Eugene. Is that it? Look at it. Open it up. Oh, yeah.
Open a case. Open the box. Open the box. Unless. Open the box.
Man, when he. His head pops out. When TJ sent me the screen grab of like. Dan wedding up. Yo, what's side?
He hits you up. What's your address?
Okay. Well, you said it wasn't him on time. All right, maybe whoever it was. Wanted the address. Whoever.
Whoever's running coaches accounts the address. Box in the box.
Okay. Let me see it. Oh. That's the Jumpman logo. Jumpman, Jumpman.
There's not even, it doesn't even tell you what's in it. Yeah, there's no label. That's how you know these are like ultimate. You can't get these at Footlock. You cannot buy these anywhere.
I should feel like this is like Pope Fiction, like it should light up, right? Yeah. Okay. Is this it? Is this it?
Let's see. Is this it? Oh my gosh. Oh wow. They look so clean.
Do they say ducks on it? It does. They do say ducks. They got the Oregon in the back. Wow.
Ducks here. There's a pair of ones, which I love. Thank you, coach. Appreciate it. Wow, you got them.
Closed mouths do not get fed. Chef joke now. Let's see it. Let's see it. There it is.
Thanks on it. Oregon on. Who cares about the hometown, home state team? Penn State where? You got a new Big Ten team, Penn State off, or gone.
I mean, look, the white game is going to take a new meaning this year at Penn State, is what I'm saying. Throw up the O, TJ, do it. I mean, it will, you know. I just want the mask it. Wow, those are so sad.
And that's that people can't get these. You can't get it. You cannot get it. Like I said, there's nothing on the friends of the program issue. Yeah.
Dude. Oh. Thanks, Coach. Ducks. Appreciate you.
