Homes.com. We've done your homework. Heading into the four o'clock hour here on Gwen and Chris Chrisello, Tony Gwen Jr. Idol today. Matt Scravial on-side in the Odyssey Palace. Oh my God, Scravia, I can't contain myself. One hour. Home run Derby is just an hour away. One hour remaining. Padres, he's into the all-star break. Stumble into the all-star break is probably more like it. 50 and 49 game over 500. I was looking at the Padres to just see how 500 they really are. Talked about how they're one game over 500 at home. They're even on the road. They're 10 and 12 in one run games or two games over in the day. One game under in the night. They're one game under on grass. They're two games over on turf. There are three games over against righties, two games under against lefties. Just every category is screams 500. There's one division though that the Padres have a winning record against in the national league. It's not this division. They're under 500 in the West. The Central? They're also under 500 in the East. So it's the Central? Yeah, they're 14 and 8 against the Central. American League record, they're 11 and 12. They're under 500 there. And the American League Central is not very good. Well, no, in the American League overall, that's what I mean. And the whole American League, they're 11 and 12. They start the second half in Cleveland. Then in Washington, which should be, yeah, I hope it's, you know, give me some. Those are some fireworks. I don't mind watching the fighting fireworks. Yeah, some scraps. You know, there's going to be something. I would think because everybody says he's not going to start it. But he sure will finish it. Doesn't need to come from Mike. She'll does it. See if he starts something. So you got Cleveland DC and then you got Baltimore. And then when you get home, Dodgers, the first two games here. So, you know, it's a tough little stretch coming up for the Friars. All right, Scrappy and I will finish up our countdown of the top two, I guess we had left. Most surprising teams in baseball. But I want to spend a little more time on it. So we've got people waiting on hold right now to play Chris versus the fans. Okay. So I'm going to get to those fine people who now have a chance to be qualified for a trip to Rio Las Vegas. It includes a two night stay dinner for two and a day bed at the Rio pool. Exactly what is a day bed. It's really not much of a bed. Is it? It's more of just a, I think it's like a lounge, a lounge pillow that's large that you do during the day. Yeah. Are you fall asleep on during the day? Normally, yes. So I guess that's why they call it a day bed. The Rio Las Vegas is back, baby. New ownership, newly remodeled rooms for sparkling new pools and a brand new food hall. It's all ready for you now and your next Vegas escape beyond the expected beyond the strip beyond your wildest dreams. Rio Las Vegas, the rhythm of Vegas book now at rio los vegas.com. If you had one shot, one opportunity to take down the human all manack himself, how would he do now is your time? Listen to me, this guy is dangerous. Now is your opportunity to win a prize. Well, I hope you know Jen for Chris versus the fans starts now on 97 three, the fan. All right. Get to make it through three questions. Each question is going to get more difficult as we go along. If you get the question right, you move on. If you get it wrong, then you're in Chris gets it right. You're eliminated. If Chris gets it wrong, then you move on to the next question or you win. If you are a first time, then let us know before we get into it and you'll get the first question for free today, Chris just wiping the floor with everyone last week. I got something big. Oh, just came down. Oh gosh. I posted no more than a few hours ago. This better be big says what is it? Good morning football. Oh God. I don't even want to talk about it. It's officially set to return officially officially set to return to the NFL network. Only this time with more content than ever. I saw this this morning. I don't know. What is that? More content than ever. What are you going to just jam more stuff? What are you going to do? I've watched that game. What are you going to do for years ago? Yeah. And it was good. I don't know five years ago. They just I don't know how many people are clicking on a good morning football in the morning. Definitely not many. They took it off the air, but they're bringing it back with more content than ever. Starting July. They got two weeks to get all that content ready. Yeah, they had to go on hiatus for some reason because it wasn't good. It wasn't good. There you go. Chris probably has never seen an episode of Good Morning Football. I will tell you this. One of the new faces on the program. Our guy, Akbar, Badja Bia Mila. I did see that before. Good for Akbar. Yeah. I hope everybody watches his segments. Are you going to walk back here or comments on Good Morning Football? No. I'm just laughing because they're jamming in more content than ever. I just think that's funny. It's an easy way to say it. It's easy to say it. We'll see if it's actually true. We'll find out if it's any good or not. I'll be the judge of that. All right. Let's go to our first contestant. I would say let's go with, do I need to get the dice out for you? No. All right. Let's go with Luis and Lemon Grove. Hello, Luis. How are you? Hello. Hello, Luis. Are you there? He's there. Yes, sir. I'm here. He's ready. All right. Here I go. You don't have to call Scravey, sir, by the way. You can call me surfy with like two. No, you don't have to. All right. Oh, boys, great. Thank you. Thank you. Nice. Great. Yeah. Who got the win in Saturday's Padres Braves game? Dylan P. Dylan sees his correct job. You said it, but I will second it. You will second it. You didn't know, did you? No, I'm seconding the fact that he is, you said this to me off the air. And I'm seconding it. Oh, what? He's the most inconsistent baseball pitcher I've ever seen. I don't know about ever seen ever. He is pretty inconsistent. He's got to be ever because white's out or mediocre. He's not just good or bad. He's historically good when he's good. Yeah. It's seven innings. One hit. Yeah, one of the strikeouts. Yeah. When he's bad, he's out of the game in the fourth inning. Yeah. He's weird. He's got time to iron that out the rest of the season. We'll see. All right. Here's question number two, Luis. I'm going to name some players. You tell me what team they played on together. Austin Hedges, Connor Joe, Rich Hill. Teamed of those three guys play together on Luis. Um, Austin, the pirate. The pirate is Luis. That's not boo. They're saying that's Luis. Let it go, Luis. All right. More to go. Wow. Third and final question. You get this right. Chris gets around. You're qualified for Las Vegas. Good luck. Here we go. And then we get to hear some more hot takes on good morning football from Chris. Uh, in the 1960s, only three players hit more than 50 home runs in a single season. Roger Maris, Mickey Mantle, and which other player? In the entire decade of the season, in the 1960s, only three players had hit more than 50 home runs in a single season. Roger Maris, Mickey Mantle, and what other player? I'm going to go with Willie Mays. Willie Mays. Wow. That is incredible. Luis, you're one of the best players I've ever seen. That is really good. I've got to say. Very good, Luis. Stay right there. I'm going to get you in the break. You got to wait a little bit longer though, because we got to talk about some things. I got to just tell you right now, I have one thing to say in response to that performance. What? Luis. You aren't booing him. You're a looing. No. That was for looing. No, that was for looing. Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, and Roger Maris. Maris and Mantle famously did it together in the 1961 season after Babe Ruth's record. Maris got it largely because Mantle got injured and fell off the pace. Roger Maris was so nervous going after Babe Ruth's record. Did you hear? I've seen the movie. His hair started falling out, which is crazy because by the way he was on the same team as Babe Ruth, so it's not like the record is going to go to someone else. Well, Maris and Mantle, but to come up with Mays 1965, very good. Stay there, Luis. I got into a wormhole of Babe Ruth over the weekend for some reason. I don't know why or how, but did you know at one point in his career, he tried to track down a fly ball. He ran into a cement wall. He knocked himself out. He needed five minutes to come to. They put him back in the outfield and he played the second game of the double hunter that day. Different days and they just. Legitimately knocked himself out by running into a concrete wall in the stadium. They probably woke him up by splashing vodka in his face. Maybe they would have put like bourbon, yeah, something like that. But Babe Ruth, like those, I kind of wish I could go back in time. But they always say, when would you go back in time and you'd like to see babe, like the Bambino play? I just want to see some of those days where like hitting a set or hitting a wall and knocking yourself out. It doesn't mean you're out for 10 days. It means you're back in in five minutes. The Bambino. The Bambino. The fastest player in baseball history. All you have to do is watch the footage, nobody gets hurt on the bases like the babe. Yeah. That's hilarious. This is really good. It's just crushed Chris first, the fans today. Knocked everybody out before it ever gets started. So I happen to land on this page, Scraving. Oh no. And while we have a minute, I don't know about these things that Chris comes in. NFL.com, the pages, the biggest storylines for each team this season in the NFC West. It's a division that you know something about Scraving. 49ers are in that division. My guess is what you got in the big game. Number one storyline, Brandon, I you I'm so over this future continues to be the big storyline. He did not attend mandatory mini camp. I said recently it's likely he'll be in a Niners uniform, but let's not forget that the Niners spent their first round pick on a wide receiver, Ricky Pearson. I hate that argument, but it makes sense. I I'm so over this brand and I you think I couldn't be more disenchanted. I've been using that word a lot lately disenchanted with the entire process of number two storyline. You hit it. Can the 49ers finally win the big one? Yeah. Come on. They've won. It's not fair. My inner team maybe, but the 49ers have won five Super Bowls. Give me, you know, it'd be one thing if this was the lions and they've never been there, but the 49ers have had plenty of success. I don't think that this is a stain on the franchise that they've, you know, just missed going to the Super Bowl the last couple of years. Honestly, I don't. I know you do because it's you have to live with it. For three storyline for the 49ers, Brock Purdy, what, what, what about him? Can he continue his place being the final pick of the 2022 draft? He leads the NFL and winning percentage. He also leads in TD to interception ratio 48 to 14. He threw all 14 interceptions in that one game against Baltimore. He's good. You're right. That he does head into training camp fully healthy after spending last offseason recovering from a UCL injury. Yeah, I think Brock Purdy is pretty good. Oh, now you're admitting it finally. Oh, once they pay him, you're, you're totally lost. You lose your advantage. I think Brock Purdy will work for a minimum wage if they ask them to Christian McCaffrey is the next big story. I'm not quite sure why he's getting $19 million a year. He's the highest paid running back. He's also going to be on the cover of Madden 25. So they're worried about that, I guess. And then finally, the last storyline for your team, the Niners entered 2024 with a new defensive coordinator. Do you know who it is? I can't remember his name. Don't know your defensive coordinator's name, huh? It's not. It's not Brandon Staley. Is it? No, you better learn his name because Tony and I are going to be making fun of the guy all year. So you better get it down. Why? Well, because every time they give up, you know, two touchdowns, we're going to be on his case. Who is it? Your guy is Nick Sorensen taking over after the club blamed last season Super Bowl loss 100% on Steve Wilkes, which was kind of a chicken bleep move. If you ask me, I don't know that anyone ever blamed it on Steve Wilkes. That's what they did by firing him. Come on. Well, it's okay to fire someone who had a terrible showing. It's they didn't blame him. Did Steve Wilkes have a bad coaching job in the Super Bowl? I don't know. Or did Kyle Shanahan. To be honest, I don't know. Yes, you do. Who had who were you more upset with after the Super Bowl? I think Steve Wilkes or Kyle Shanahan don't change your answer. I think the Super Bowl was lost. The minute Drake green law tours Achilles running on the field. Excuses. At least I have some. I could get to the Miami Dolphin storylines, but there's not time and nor are they that interesting. Hey, the chat is not going to get under my skin with this Brock Perry thing. Are they trying? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. 49ers won't win the Super Bowl until they have a legitimate quarterback. Ooh shots fired from the chat. I would like to see another quarterback that has been to multiple NFC Championship games. It's been to two. Yeah. Yeah. That was one. Yes. He didn't survive the other. That survival rate. They didn't have a quarterback in their other one. That was one of the most embarrassing things I've ever seen in the history of the NFL. I know that it was embarrassing. Not to the Niners, just to the NFL, that you get to a championship game and a running back is playing quarterback. It was the championship game. It wasn't just like some, you know, no Josh Johnson played quarterback. Well, Josh Johnson was also like put on the team earlier that week. Yeah. I mean, this wasn't just like a Scott Hanson game on a Sunday. No, this was for all the marbles. Yeah, they had no shot. Gwen and Chris comes back after a check of traffic. Good job by you, Luis.

All right, welcome back to winning Chris. Luis to schooled us on how to play Chris vs. the fans, schooled the rest of us, I guess. Man, he was good. Got Willie Mays, who did the 50-home run thing in 1965. Luis was born 30 plus years after that. Yeah. Luis still came up with the answer. Luis knows his sports. He did. He does. He's a big Lions fan, he said. So Scrabby hung up on him and didn't allow him to win the prize. That's not true. I can't believe you would do that. That's not true. He's so caddy as to do that just because the Lions are going to take away your championship this year. That is not true. You're worried about it. Scrabby and I were in the midst of counting down the top three most surprising teams in baseball this year. First half of the season, the time clock got in the way of that countdown. Yes, it did. So maybe somebody was waiting around to see how our countdown finished up. I had the Red Sox as the third most surprising team in baseball. You had the Pirate's. Yes. So let's quickly do the top two. Okay, I'm looking for MLB music again. There we go. All right, so your second most surprising team right now is let me get back to my notes. Oh, your notes. You don't have a memorize. No, I do not. You go first. Kansas City Royals are my number two most surprising team in baseball. The Royals, basically year after year after year, they're at the bottom basement of the league. Not this year, 52 and 45, just two games back of a wild card spot in the American League. The Royals get off to the very fast start. They've really kind of hung in there. Yeah, you know, and I expected them to kind of fade by now, but here they are with 65 games to play chasing Boston for that last wild card, Kansas City's my second most surprising team. I want to say the Guardians, the Guardians, the guards, they have been so good this year. There's never really been a moment where it's like, are the Guardians any good or are they just on a hot streak? You kind of just know they're good. And they consistently win. They're 58 and 37 plus 85 run differential. And yeah, my number two most surprising team is the guards. I think they were going to be as dominant as they have been in their division so far. Yeah. Yeah. My most surprising team in baseball is the team with the best record in the American League right now. The Guardians. Oh, wow. That's right. The Guardians have a better record than the Yankees. They have a better record than the Orioles. They're clearly better than the Mariners and Astros and everybody else. The Guardians have the best record in the American League at the all-star break. Who guessed that? Come on, nobody knows what I was trying to think, but nobody. Nobody guessed that. The Guardians were 76 and 86 last season. Seven games under 500, 11 games out of first place, nowhere near a playoff spot. The Guardians. The gods. I still hate calling them the Guardians, but, you know, we got to do what we got to do. Yes, we do, Chris. We got to do what we got to do. It's very, it really doesn't make a lot of sense that the, you know, the Guardians are in place, the Commanders are in place in a world where the Blackhawks and the Braves and some of these other teams still play. Yeah. That's the only issue I have. The inconsistency of it, you know, that's all. My number one. Who's your most surprising team in baseball? Scray? Let me guess. Okay. Go for it. Oh, I think I know. Who? I don't think you know. Yes, I do. Okay. I think you're picking a team that is named after a bunch of big old chubby guys sitting around a bar knocking cold ones down. That is not true. No. I'm not a brewer. You're not picking the brewers? Is your most surprising team? No. And wow, I think this is going to be a controversial pick because this team was not picked to be last or anything and they're doing well, but the Houston Astros started out worse than any team that we've talked about today. And now they have worked their way back to over 500. They have worked their way back to one game behind the Mariners. They were so bad, Chris. Do you remember how bad they were? Josh Hader blow and saves every other day. They were just losing at an alarming rate. They were well under 500. Those were starting to lose their mind and something clicked with the Houston Astros and they have been so good ever since they were 12 and 24 that was their low water mark. That's pretty bad. Since then they've gone 38 and 22. So that's pretty good. That is pretty good. But I don't see how you could make them a surprise team. They wouldn't American. I know every year. No, I say they're a surprise team because they started out so horrible. Give up on them. Yes. I think a lot of people did. Yeah. That's not even a controversial decision. That's just a bad one. Okay. Thanks, Chris. You're welcome. I appreciate Chris's support today, even though I can't even remember what seems he said. Not coming. No support coming your way. All right. When we return, we got a big five to get to. Yes, we do. And by that time, the home run derby will get underway and you can just do play by play of Pete Alonso hitting the ball over the fence time and again. But if it doesn't go over the fence, then it'll be surprising. It's all coming up on Gwen and Chris. All right. Welcome back to Gwen and Chris 436, the time, Chris Ella, Tony Gwen Jr, not here today. Matt Scrabie alongside, by the way, coming up at six o'clock tonight, Scrabie Chronicles. Scrabie will take an hour to chronicle everything that's happened in the sporting world today. You're complaining about. No, no, no, how you're going to do that is going to say as we continue to try and flail away at the sports world on this, uh, ho hum of a Monday, I haven't been to Wednesday yet. And I said Wednesday might be the slowest day of the year, but I'm beginning to rethink that, Chris. Yeah, you're starting to think more about the Monday thing. It's been, uh, it's been kind of a slow day. Did you get this story about Terrell Davis today? He got arrested. I thought he did. Uh, well, let's see, uh, he was handcuffed and removed from a flight. Oh, no, following a false accusation by a flight attendant. I can tell you this, I've been on a flight with Terrell Davis before, not being him, but he was on it. And I remember this because it was with the women's basketball team and they were all going crazy at Terrell Davis, Terrell Davis. He could not have been a nicer person. Really? This is guys I'd ever really come across. But apparently on this one, he was on a United Airlines flight Denver to Orange County. One of his sons asked a flight attendant for a cup of ice. Okay. Ooh, sounds like it's pretty risque. The flight attendant either didn't hear or ignored his request and continued past our row. I calmly reached behind me and lightly lightly tapped his arm. Davis said, so he tapped the flight attendants arm to get his attention and again asked for a cup of ice for my son. His response in the events that followed should stun all of us. And the flight attendant said that, or Davis said the flight attendant shouted, don't hit me. Did anybody else see this? Uh, Davis said he had no further interactions with the flight attendant, but when the plane landed, the pilot asked all passengers to remain seated. Six FBI agents, local authorities, aborted the plane, placed them in handcuffs. It seems like a lot in the United Airlines officials told the Denver Post that the flight attendant involved in the encounter has been removed from duty while we quote, closely review this matter. There you go. Sounds like we don't have enough information. The airline says that, um, this is clearly not the kind of travel experience we strive to provide. Oh, you think so? We're a United Airlines and we'll get you arrested at your destination. You can be sure of it. Yeah. We'll have, uh, we'll have a FBI agents waiting for you. Yeah, we said, uh, you said United Airlines, we have reached out to Mr. Davis's team to apologize. It sounds like they're apologizing, which tells me that they don't really think, because I guess the only case the flight attendant in the airline would have is if Davis actually hit the person. Yeah, I was going to say, but he says he was just trying to, you know, tap the guy's arm and get his attention. That's, that's quite, again, I can only speak, I can only speak to this much about Terrell Davis and that's the time I met him on that plane and he just could not have been a nicer guy. Could not have been serious, I believe you. I don't know what, no, it doesn't really have anything to do with this now, but I am assuming that somebody must have witnessed this. Yeah. I mean, a whole plane for them. So Terrell Davis, crazy stuff. I got to tell you, man, who you are and how little you did, but if six FBI agents boarded a plane and handcuffed you, I, that would be, you know, an experience that would be tough to, you know, to forget, right, that would not be a very comfortable experience at all. No. And as he says here, it was in front of his whole family. That's embarrassing and in front of the whole plane. Yeah. Okay. That's that. Here's traffic. Let's see if Scraeby can beat that in the big five from the 97, three, the fan traffic center. Here's Kelly Dannick. It's that time of the show. When we check on the latest in sports, only the most important topics and questions are brought to light. Stop what you're doing and listen. These news stories will astound and amaze you the one, the only, oh my God, who the hell cache, the big five starts now on 97, three, the fan. All right, let's get into it, Chris. We'll try. We'll try to bring you something from the big five today. I promise I am into the big five today. And since we don't have any Padres to start the big five, I'm just wasting time. If you can't tell Chris, but you're still looking for stories. No, no, I have all my stories. But there's no Padres news today, so we are going to start with this story. Number five. And number one overall NFL pick, Caleb Williams, has not signed his rookie contract yet with the Bears, the Chicago Bears. Here it is. That could be big. Yeah. Here is NFL Network's Ian Rappaport talking about it with NFL Network. William, a little bit of a different story. Now, he is eventually going to get a four-year, 39.5 or so million-dollar fully guaranteed deal with most or all of his signing bonus up front. His situation is a little different because instead of an agent, he has more, I would say, like a board of directors. He does not have an official NFL agent. He has an agent helping him, and then he has lawyers who are working on the deal. And sometimes, because of the way it's structured, this can take a little longer. Like many things in Caleb Williams, let's say off-the-field situation business, it is a little unorthodox, it is a little not usual, but still, I would be surprised if there was an issue here. And even if there is an issue, you're right, things don't really get really real until the veterans show up, so in due time, this one's going to happen. He says in due time, but my question is to you, Chris, is why would you not sign your Ricky contract? What's the problem? From what I understand, most Ricky contracts are already basically written for you. Your first five years are a certain thing. Here's my thing on Caleb Williams, and I do not know because I don't know him, nor do I have, you know, any insight, but I have two words that I would use to describe Caleb Williams from the outside looking in, okay? Those two words would be high and maintenance, and I'd put them together. And I don't think he's necessarily high, but he definitely seems to be high maintenance, and he seems like the kind of guy that, maybe with all these different people advising him, you know, just can't figure it out exactly what he wants or what he needs, but this doesn't really surprise me, just based on kind of his game plan at USC. I'll say this, I watched Hartnock's last week, and Caleb Williams was on there. Well, what do you think? Because, you know, it was the New York Giants, and they were interviewing all the rookie quarterbacks. Okay. And they had the camera in the room while they were interviewing them. It was very interesting to see what Brian Dable, the coach, and some of the others asked. One of the questions Brian Dable asked Caleb Williams was, "What are you going to do to come to New York? We draft you, or, you know, trade up to get whatever. You come to New York, you're with the Giants, you start the season 0 and 3, and you're struggling to learn the offense, and the media in New York is just crushing you. What are you going to do?" What do you think? He said he's going to go back to the stands and cry with his friends. No, he did not. Like he did at USC. No, he did not. No, he didn't say that. I was going to say. He didn't say that. Of course, he didn't say that, but I think the question seemed like it was born out of that incident, you know? He gave the right answer, whatever that, you know, whatever he was told to go back and work hard. Yeah. I'm working hard. Put my head down and work hard. I don't. I don't know. I'm worried about Caleb Williams' success. Maybe I'm, maybe I'm like, if you ask me, is he going to be closer to Bryce Young, or to CJ Stroud? Bryce Young. He's going to be closer to Bryce Young. I don't think him, you know, it's not CJ Stroud's that's such a high bar for a rookie quarterback, but Caleb seems like he just needs a whole bunch of stuff. Yeah. That's it. Now what do you say? There's a bunch of stuff, though, they gave him, who did they give him, the wide receiver? Oh, okay. Now on the game. Robert Dunes. Oh God. I mean, he's got more than Justin Fields ever had, but I will say Caleb Williams is one of five first round picks that have not signed the rookie contract yet, but you're right. There's nothing wrong with doing things different. There's nothing wrong with doing things unorthodox, I think, is the word that Ian Rappaport used, but to me, there is something wrong when you're making making people wait on you. I don't know that they're waiting on him, but they have a game, Chris, in like 16 days, right? August 1st is their opening game against the Texans in the Hall of Fame game in the Hall of Fame game. What? Caleb Williams seems to me even practicing with the team right now again, this is outside looking in because I'm not there, but he looks like a kind of guy that needs the spotlight to be on him, not the team. And I think it's he's going about it all the wrong way. We're going to learn a lot about Caleb Williams this year and how he handles things. And I hope that he's good because I hope he shows up early enough to even start on opening week. Yeah. You don't just roll into camp two days before the first game and they go here, it's just keys to the car. Yeah, you have to work on it all off the NFL. Yeah, give you that. Yeah, we'll see what happens. Who they have on that roster seems a little strange to me. We'll see what happens there. Number four. Now to golf. That was a good story. Thank you. I'll be the judge of the next four as well at the Scottish Open over the weekend. There was a rule used by Scottish golfer Bob McIntyre. Many people are annoyed with even though it is a rule on the 16th hole yesterday. Is there any sport that has dumb rules and golf? We used you love golf. We used stop disparaging golf on the 16th hole yesterday. He hit it into the rough and had a really, really, really bad lie on the rough. And so some golfers thought, Hey, if he was going to hit that ball, he may have gotten it 50 yards and that was about it. But the rule said he can move the ball since it was so close to a sprinkler head and other golfers were very annoyed because this was his get on a jail free card. He basically got to place it wherever he wanted in the rough to give himself a really good lie. He moved it to a better lie, hit a good shot. Things went his way and he ended up winning the Scottish Open. Chris, should you be able to make your life better in the rough? I should. Not him. Professionals. Right. Yeah, I should. And I do. Yeah, you just kind of fluff it up a little bit. Kick it a little bit. Yeah, give it a little tack. Get a little bit, you know, because really, I mean, those shots are really hard sometimes from deep in the rough when you're just a, you know, regular golfer. But no, I think the pro should have to pay the price. Yeah. I think, honestly, I do. I'm not trying to pick on this guy, but, you know, if you land right on a sprinkler head or something that seems fair to move, get a drop, but yeah, just because you're close or that was part of the result of your previous shot, is it not? Yeah. It's, you get to move it like a club length or within a club length. Sounds like he really got a huge advantage here and maybe, you know, people are kind of just jealous that he got that and they could have got the same thing. But the only way they could have got the same thing is it hit a bad shot like he apparently did. Yeah. I don't know why golf is rewarding somebody for doing something not as well as the next guy. I guess everybody could have used this rule though. Everybody in the field could have done the same exact thing and would have done the same. But you can only use it if you're within close proximity of a sprinkler head, which you're probably not going to be if you're in the fair way. No, what I'm saying is, is if they were in his situation, they're doing the same exact thing as he did and they're going to move it and they're going to take the liberty of the one. Yeah. Yeah. Hit it where it lies. And you know what? When it's right up against the fence and you got to hit it left handed, you got to hit it left handed, don't you? Yeah. You don't just get to move it out because you're up against the wall or, you know, the stands or something. If it's marked as a certain area for the most part, you have to hit golf has so many, you know, really, they do have dumb rules and I like golf nets. It's not dumb. Number three. It's dumb. The Los Angeles dungeon. Listen to you. Listen, I just call the dungeons listening to you protect golf like you invented the sport. Wow. Me and the, I can't remember old Tom Morris, the fairway laid out the first rules. Yes. The Los Angeles, not dungeons, the Dodgers have received very little good news regarding their pitching staff in recent weeks, including Dustin may out for the year with a torn esophagus, which sounds fake, but also sounds like one of the most horrific things I've ever heard. A torn esophagus. How do you breathe? How do you eat? How do you sleep? I don't have any answers to those questions, but it terrifies me. But there are three time and I'll say young award winner could rejoin the starting rotation soon. Clayton Kershaw pitched three scoreless innings and a rehab start for AAA Oklahoma City on Saturday night. He allowed no hits issued one walk while throwing 38 pitches, 23 of those are strikes. I guess I'm up first is Clayton Kershaw going to change the fortunes of the Dodgers pitching staff. No, I don't think so. I don't know what Clayton Kershaw has left honestly, I don't know that he has much left. I think we're obviously in the twilight of his of his career don't think that he's going to come back and be like some sigh young award winner in the second half and help the Dodgers into a world series or anything. I think it'll be good, but I don't think he's going to change the fortune. How about last year Kershaw 13 and five 2.46. That doesn't sound a whole lot like twilight to me. I mean, didn't sound like sigh young. I mean, he won the sigh. He won the sighing award in 11, 13 and 14. So that's 10 years ago, but here we are 10 years later is going 13 and five 2.46. That's really good. Really good. So I think he's going to help, especially with what they have right now. They're trotting out no names at the moment, so he's going to help them quite a bit. I mean, I don't know if you're going to, you know, say he's going to win the world series because of Kershaw. Probably not. Kershaw never seems to pitch well on the playoffs. Never does. Save us. No, it's not true that he never does. He's 13 and 13. So he's at his moments with middle of the pack, but yeah, he's been middle of the pack. I mean, it has been a key thing throughout his career for. It has. It's been something they have criticized him for often. Number two. All right. This is a sad story. This sort of Vikings wide receiver, Jordan Addison was arrested Friday near LAX on suspicion of driving under the influence. The CHP said Sunday night, according to a police report reviewed by ESPN, a West Los Angeles officer found a white Rolls Royce blocking a lane of the I want 105 westbound to Sepulveda Boulevard northbounding board over there. Yeah. A little bit. Hey, the driver board over there, the driver and I'm like, yeah, the driver later identified as Addison was a sleep behind the wheel, according to her for a DUI investigation led to Addison's arrest at 11 36 p.m. Pacific. He was released from custody Saturday at 1 36 a.m. Number one, I've been in trouble before the law never been released in two hours before. So I don't know. He never posted like a $8.5 million check. You could personally know, no, there is no, the bail, I'm sure was not that high. He's being held on a pretty, pretty unfortunately common charge. Yeah. Anyway, what's up with the Vikings? We got, we had a player a couple of weeks ago die, not because they were drinking and driving, but someone else was drinking and driving. Yeah. I can't compare these two. I mean, Addison's, you know, you got to watch what you're doing and be careful and you know, not drinking dry. I don't know how simple it is to other than to say that. But the last, I shouldn't make, I shouldn't poke fun of it. But you know what? It's been kind of a tough day. So I'm going to poke fun of it. The last sports related figure, I think that they found a sleep in his car was Tony LaRouza. Put him in the hall of fame for it. So I don't think anything ever happened to Tony LaRouza on that one and using, was that in Arizona too or something? I forgot exactly all that, but whereas Arizona or some, yeah, Arizona has very strict drinking dryer. I just had to get a shot at Tony LaRouza. I got to say, come on, Jordan Addison, where's your brain, dude? Yeah, it's bad. You're driving, hey, you're driving a Rolls Royce beat, you were just found asleep on the freeway. Like, I, if I'm, if I'm my former teammate, now head coach of the Vikings, Kevin O'Connell, I'm having some serious talks with my team saying, if you guys get caught doing this, you're not going to be around much longer. Yeah, well, that'll be the day that a guy actually gets jettisoned from a team for that kind of behavior. That's true. Nobody how all of us in our lives get jettisoned from our jobs, but an athlete does something like this and they get double, they double down on how much they love him. Or if you're Tony LaRouza, you go right into Cooper's job. Tony LaRouza. Alright. Hey, Tony. We got one more question for the big five and it's a very, are you calling him like he's a horse? He's trying to wake him up. All right. More big five. Next. It's that time of the show, when we check on the latest in sports, only the most important topics and questions are brought to light. Stop what you're doing and listen. These news stories will astound and amaze you. The one, the only. Oh my god. Who the hell cares? The big five starts now on 97th grade of fan. All right, let's get into it, Chris. We'll try. We'll try to bring you something from the big five today. I promise I am into the big five today. And since we don't have any Padres to start the big five, I'm just wasting time. If you can't tell Chris, but you're still looking for stories. No, no, I have all my stories. But there's no Padres news today. So we are going to start with this story and number one overall NFL pick, Caleb Williams has not signed his rookie contract yet with the bears, the Chicago bears. Here is that could be big. Yeah, here is NFL networks, Ian Rappaport talking about it with NFL network. William, a little bit of a different story. Now he is eventually going to get a four year 39 point five or show million dollar fully guaranteed deal with most or all of his signing bonus upfront. His situation is a little different because instead of an agent, he has more of, I would say like a board of directors. He does not have an official NFL agent. He has an agent helping him and then he has lawyers who are working on the deal and sometimes because of the way it's structured, this can take a little longer. Like many things in Caleb Williams, let's say off the field situation business, it is a little unorthodox, it is a little not usual, but still, I would be surprised if there was an issue here. And even if there is an issue, you're right, things don't really get really real until the veteran show up. So in due time, this one's going to happen. He says in due time, but my question is to you, Chris, is why, why would you not sign your rookie contract? What's the problem? From what I understand, most rookie contracts are already basically written for you. Your first five years are a certain thing. Here's my thing on Caleb Williams and I do not know because I don't know him, nor do I have any insight. Yes. But I have two words that I would use to describe Caleb Williams from the outside looking in. Okay. Those two words would be high and maintenance. Yes. Put them together, and I don't think he's necessarily high, but he definitely seems to be high maintenance and he seemed like the kind of guy that maybe with all these different people advising him, you know, just can't figure it out exactly what he wants or what he needs.

He didn't say that. Of course, he didn't say that. I think the question seemed like it was born out of that incident, you know, like he gave the right answer, whatever that, you know, whatever he was told, I'll go back and work hard. Yeah. Keep working hard. Put my head down and work hard. I don't. I don't know. I'm worried about Caleb Williams's success. Maybe I'm maybe I'm like, if you asked me, is he going to be closer to Bryce Young or to CJ Stroud? Bryce out. He's going to be closer to Bryce Young. I don't think I'm, you know, CJ Stroud said such a high bar for a rookie quarterback. But Caleb seems like he just needs a whole bunch of stuff. Yeah. That's it. But now I need to say they gave him a bunch of stuff. So they gave him a, who did they give him the wide receiver now on the game? Robert Dunes. Oh God. I mean, he's got more than Justin Fields ever had, but I will say Caleb Williams is one of five first round picks that have not signed the rookie contract yet. You're right.

You don't just roll into camp two days before the first game and they go here, it's the keys to the car. Yeah. You have to work on it all off. See NFL. Yeah. We'll see. Who they have on that roster seems a little strange to me. We'll see what happens there. Number four. Now to golf. That was a good story. Thank you. I'll be the judge of the next four as well.

You don't just get to move it out because you're up against the wall or, you know, the stands or something. If it's marked as a certain area for the most part, you have to hit it.
