Tonight's stay at the win or the Encore Hotel in Vegas, plus two tickets to see the great show, Awakening, Thrilling Spectacle, Dazzle's Audiences, with shoring aerialists, bounding acrobats. Hi, who writes this stuff? Do you? Probably the people. I don't know. Maybe. Why are you upset with that? I'm not. I just want to know who wasn't me. I was wondering, are you the one using the phrase bounding acrobats? No, but I would love to be able to use that. Yes. How about high energy choreography and comedic moments? I did write that part. Yeah. At the heart of this compelling story, a hero must confront the forces of light and darkness in a quest to save the world. Isn't that what it's all about? It's a mythic adventure it unfolds, set amid the most technologically immersive theater ever designed.

Well, I hope you know what Jen for Chris versus the fans starts now on 97 3 the fan. Oh, right. Chris mowed through everyone yesterday. I thought you were going to do your Jim Carrey there. What do you mean? Alrighty then. Oh, you know, growing up, I didn't really like Ace Ventura. I know that's a it's a sin. It's okay. It's a cardinal sin. You're not it's not for everyone, just 99% of most people like Ace Ventura. I really like the second one where he has come out of the the rhino the fake rhinos rear end didn't enjoy that one there as much as the Dan Marino versions. Do you like the mask the movie has a little early to early Jim Carrey for me wasn't ready for him yet. Dumb dumber. Yeah, dumb and dumber. I mean, come on. All right. Here we go with the quest or the rules you have to make it through three questions. Each question is going to get more difficult. If you get the question right, you move on. If you get it wrong and Chris gets it right, you're eliminated. But if Chris gets it wrong, then you move on to the next question or you win. And if you're a first time, let us know before you get to the or get to the first question. We'll give you that question for free. You start on question number two, Chris versus the fan is presented by SD fat loss lose 20 to 30 pounds in just 60 days. Visit SD fat loss.com to schedule your free concept. By the way, before we get into this, I'd like you to look into hiring in the copy. Right. infringement lawyer. Oh, why? And I think, you know, we could do worse. We're going to sue ESPN. Here is a promotion for their story on the NFL from week one, okay, on the front of their web page here. It says the good, the bad and the ugly from week one, which team should panic. How dare they use our title to recap week one. That is crazy. We need to get into this and we need to figure it out. You get a lawyer. I don't believe we, you know, I really like them using our turn without my knowledge. I'm going to take this up. I know you already don't like ESPN. So I don't. I'm giving you more reason to dislike the entertainment and sports programming network. Although I am happy now that we have a good Monday night football broadcast crew with Joe boxing. It is great. It is great to have Joe. And did you watch any of the Manning cast? I can't do it. I don't watch the Manning cast. No, it's funny. I watched clips after the fact, but I can't do it during the game. But you know what? They showed the best parts of it, but I'm not willing to sit there for three and a half hour to get the three good parts. I got to say, I think Peyton Manning is funny when he reads written copy. I think he lies similar. Like on Saturday Night Live, perfect for those two guys. They're great at it. They're not that great off the cuff. They're okay, but they're not great. I've watched the Manning cast. It's not written for them. But if he has a script, it's all good, a great painting man and there's my man is my favorite new one. He's got a, is that a commercial where he's painting it says, yeah, it says painting man. He paints on their painting manning and it's fine. I've tried to watch the Manning cast. It doesn't work for me too. All right. Here we go into the first contestant, which will be, let's see the first name I saw was Tanner. So let's go to Tanner. Hello, Tanner. Hey, Tanner. Is this to me? Yeah, you're two unless you're named Tanner. Let's do it. All right. Do it, man. All right. He's ready. Here we go. Question number one. What major league baseball team has hit the most home run so far this season? This year. This year. Major league team. Yes. Up to this point. I want to say Baltimore, I feel like the Yankees are right there, but I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to pick the ball. Okay. Ball. Today. So there. Oh, stay there. I was going to say the, uh, I was going to say the Yankees. So I'll stick with that. Yankees. I'm sorry, Taylor. That's really unfortunate. Sorry, Tanner. The Orioles were second 50/50 there, kind of, they're the top two then. Yeah. Orioles were seconds. No. All right. Next, uh, cause the White Sox hit like, are they in double figures yet on the home run department? No. I think they're still up nine. What is the record right now? They're currently 33 and 112. I think they went on Sunday or something. Maybe. That's bad. All right. Next contestant, Kevin and Oceanside. Hello, Kevin. Hi guys. Kevin. Good to have you back. I'll probably play again today. Uh, you could play. Did you win? You didn't win yesterday, right? No, sir. Okay. We'll have to play. We'll play back to back. All right. Question number one, uh, let's see what is the team name for the Connecticut WNBA team? Uh, the lightning, the lightning, there's a, there's a weather related answer, but it's not correct. Uh, they're the son. Uh, we're trying to get all of you people to, you know, get into a little WNBA now. Well, the Connecticut son makes zero sense to me. You know why it's called that? No. That's the name of a huge gambling casino there in wherever they play Hartford or somewhere. And I believe, hold me to this, but the gambling casino is big ownership of the team. Oh, well, there you go. So it's a two way street there. I mean, it makes absolutely casino gave them a bunch of money. Well, they named their team after the casino because I can guarantee you that there's not not a whole lot of sudden Connecticut during the winter. See what you're saying. Yeah. All right. I'm sorry about that. Uh, Kevin, Kevin, let's go to our next contestant. We're going to go to Rod or guy Rod from the chat. Hello. Hey, Rod. What's up, buddy? Hey, hello. How are you? Hello. How are you Matt? Wait, please shut out the chat real quick before they get mad at me. They will get mad at Rod for not shouting out the chat. You shouted it out. You're good. Here we go. Question number one. The chat or just like Twitter in general, like as a chat is the chat means the pens really depends depends on where your opinion is. If it's in line with theirs, you're good, but they will attack you. They will attack if they don't. Okay. I got you. All right. What state did Jackson Meryl grow up in? Oh, that would be the great state of Maryland, Maryland is great. The great state of Maryland. I believe it's a commonwealth of Maryland. Is it? I don't know if Maryland's a commonwealth or not. It might be. It might be. But anyway, good for you. Rod's off to a good start. You got number one. Here's question number two. Whoops. That's a buzzer. You got that. We got it right already. Where'd it go? Rod, that's two. We got the prize. All right. Here we go. Ooh, video game question. Who is the only player to be featured on the cover of MLB The Show two years in a row? Three years in a row. Yes. I'm going to talk to it when I like that little guy. You know, two years ago, we were in a cast number five. I think that the answer is I'm going to say Ken Griffey Jr. Ooh, I liked it. I liked it. I liked it. I liked the answer. No. Two years in a row. Why would that? I'm trying to figure out what the reasoning for anybody to be on there. Two years in a row. Actually, I don't know. I'm going to have to go look this up later. You know, I'm trying to like it. I can't ask for hints. I was trying to figure out if it makes any sense. I don't know. I don't follow the video game at all. You know that. I thought Ken Griffey was a great guess. I'll say Barry Bonds. I don't know. He was on the cover of one, I think in like 2007. Not correct. All right. For some reason, Joe Maurer was on the cover twice. Was he really? Two years in a row, 2010, 2011. He went back to back MVPs. Not that I know of. No, I think he might have won one. That is very good, Rod. You're still alive. Yes. On to the final. Thank you, Joe. Here we go. Question number three, Rod. You get this right or Chris gets it wrong and you're qualified for Las Vegas. There have been two players to have caught at least one touchdown and throw at least one touchdown in a Super Bowl. Name both. There are two players to have caught at least one touchdown and throw at least one touchdown in the same game in the Super Bowl. Name both. Man, I think of our good friend or Del Mar resident Drew Grease. I think about him when you say that. Okay. But Bugs Bunny was the first one that I thought of, so let me pick with Drew Grease. Drew Grease and Bugs Bunny. Bugs Bunny. Same there, Rod. I can't believe you didn't get it. All right. Well, this is a bit of a stab. I need to hear the question to make sure I'm hearing it right. Okay. There have been two players in Super Bowl history to have caught at least one touchdown and thrown at least one touchdown in the same game. All right. That's a good one. Okay. Because he was on the Philly special play for the Eagles. And I think they showed a highlight of the other one last night, but I don't remember if he caught one last year, but I know Greg Jennings threw one. So I'll try Greg Jennings. You're so close, Rod. You had the right last name. You had the wrong first name. Who is it? Greg Jennings is retired. It's Juan Jennings. I'll give it to Rod, but I will also say that Chris was close. Close enough. Close enough. But that's a win for you, Rod. Nice job. It's Joann Jennings. Joann Jennings. Yes. You did catch the judge. What's the other one? Did I say Greg Jennings? Did he wear 85? Yeah, they're right. Greg Jennings for the 49ers. I honestly think they're the same guy. I didn't know there was. No, no. Joann Jennings was number 15. Got it. Okay. Greg Jennings played for the Packers. I think. All right. So I'm way off. But Joann Jennings is the other guy. You're close enough. I was in the hunt. Rod, you got it. Stay on the line. Enter in Chris versus the fans. You are going to have a chance to go to the win or the on court in Las Vegas to see the show awakening and stay the night tonight, actually. In Sin City, congratulations, Rod. We'll have another round of Chris versus the fans tomorrow. One thing we did not do in the three o'clock hour because the Fantabulous Sports Game Show ran over today is getting to our daily gambit. So we'll take a little peek at that after traffic as Gwen and Chris continue presented by T-Mobile, the official wireless partner of Odyssey Sports. With an awesome network and great savings, there's never been a better time to join T-Mobile. Visit your neighborhood store to make the switch today. It's a good thing baseballs already have stitches because the way these ball players are hitting them. Yeah, they need stitches if they didn't already have them. So the next time you're watching a poor little baseball smacked off the wall and sent to him, keep that little fella into thoughts, it's hard to be a baseball right now. Baseball is something else, major league baseball trademarks used with permission. All right, welcome back to Gwen and Chris 421, the time congrats to Rod. One in a technicality, no, it wasn't a technicality. I should have just said Jennings, I might have gotten away with it, but I said Greg Jennings and it's Joanne Jennings of the Niners who caught and threw a touchdown pass last year in the Super Bowl, joining Nick Foles as the only two to do that. Welcome back to Gwen and Chris here 421, the time Tony returns for a round of the Big Five. It's a, it's a funny and, ah, it's a good one. What? The Big Five. It's a good one today. I was trying to think of some adjectives to describe it, but I couldn't. Here's a story that really surprised me. Let me read you the story, the first couple paragraphs, and then I'll explain to you why this surprises me, okay, Dateline Charlotte, North Carolina. The Carolina Panthers will be without Pro Bowl defensive lineman Derek Brown for the rest of the season Bummer Brown was placed on injured reserve Tuesday after a second opinion made it clear. He needed surgery to repair a meniscus injury suffered in Sundays, 47 to 10 loss to the New Orleans Saints. Do you want to know why the story surprises me? Yes, please. I had no idea the Panthers had anybody good enough to be in the Pro Bowl. Everybody gets the Pro Bowl. Oh, is that? No, is it true? I really like it. I don't know. I don't think it's like Major League Baseball, where every team has to have a member of the Pro Bowl. That's a pretty sad year. If you don't have one member of the Pro Bowl, I don't know that you have to have a member of the Pro Bowl. I mean, the Panthers were two and 15 last year. They were awful. They certainly look like they're on their way to being awful again, don't overreact to one game, but it was pretty pathetic and it wasn't against a very good team, honestly. But, yeah, so that's bad news for the Panthers who certainly don't need any bad news. No, they don't. I feel bad for them on Sunday. You know, it was 30 to nothing at halftime, I think. Bryce Young's first pass of the season was picked. You know, they're throwing bombs over the top, Alvin Kamara's running wild out of the backfield. Yeah, it was a mismatch to be sure. Panthers play the Chargers this week. So a good chance for Harbaugh to start 2-0. A couple of other NFL stories while we're at it, 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey. Now they're coming clean. The Niners are. We're going to talk about this in the Big Five more, but 49ers are now saying that his status is uncertain ahead of this week's game against the Minnesota Vikings. Something they wouldn't tell anybody last week ahead of the Monday night game against the Jets. He wasn't even uncertain as of yesterday morning. But as of yesterday afternoon, of course, he did not play in the Monday night game. That has wrinkled some folks. As I said, Tony and I will kick that subject around, but McCaffrey uncertain for the Viking game. This is very concerning to me. I'm sure it is, but I don't think you really have to worry. I mean, the guy last night was fine. I don't see the Vikings being able to hold off the 49er line. They'll just blast them off the line of scrimmage and what's his name? We'll gain another 150. Yeah. What's his name? Jason Jordan Mason looked fine to me, but you know, who wouldn't look fine if you get eight yards down field before you're touched. 49ers are really, really good yesterday. I'm sorry. Do you feel like really good head coach with the Jets, Robert Salah is just counting his days until he's fired. I don't. I think the Jets are going to be good. They're not going to have to play the Niners every week. No, and I get that, but I'm saying like he just looks so uninspired. I know the Jets fans, Sammy Levitt being one and what's the guy on ESPN in the morning? It's Big Jets fan. Greenberg? Yes, Mike Greenberg. He's a big Jets fan. They were all whining and complaining, but I, you know, if the Jets go out this week and you know, lay another egg or something, then I say, okay, maybe they're not as good as I thought, but I can't overreact to a loss to the 49ers. I think a lot of teams are going to have losses like that to the 49ers this year. But you know, Christian McCaffrey out your guy, Kevin O'Connell, going to be looking to pull off a big upset. They did last year. That's right. They beat the 49ers last year. They did. Kevin O'Connell, ladies and gentlemen. I think they even had a coach of the year honors last year, this year, every year, every year. I mean, he doesn't really get a friend that he won't pick up my calls anymore. It's actually his PR guy. It sounds like his PR guy doesn't like me infringing on their friendship, but he does a really good job of preparing his team. He's right. Kevin works hard. He works hard. But again, I don't know that you can really rate the Vikings because they played such a terrible opponent in the Giants. So I didn't know the Giants were going to be that bad. They didn't look good. They're the only team that did not score a touchdown this last week. Other than the Steelers, but at least the Steelers won their game. Speaking of the Steelers, Justin Fields preparing to start against Denver on Sunday, that means Russell Wilson does not get a shot at the Broncos who let him go. Did you see this? This is a NFL news and notes that no woe oats that you need to know. This is like a kind of a side conversation, but Jordan Mason, after the game, he was very upset at the media for basically reporting what he told the reporter. Yeah. And because he realized he spoke out of turn. Yeah, he probably shouldn't have said that happened. I know. And he was really upset after the game, but I'm thinking, hey, dude, you can't be upset. You're the one who said it. Yeah. But I think the 49ers have to take, I mean, you always think I'm picking on your team. In this case, I think the 49ers got to bring him over and say, look, you're probably going to start. But if anyone asks you, you didn't find out until game time. Yeah. They got a prepping for that. He's not a media darling. I bet you most people didn't even know who, you know, who he was until, until yesterday. So as soon as Kyle Shanahan found out, he was, he was on the denial train. He was like, no, no, no. We didn't know about it. Happened earlier, very, very quick denial. I will have more of that on the big five with that particular subject being one of the ones we go to. Some of the other stuff from the NFL left over, uh, what are the Browns going to do with the Sean Watson? This contract's featured. You're telling me today it's a mess that the Browns have. Like if they, they let this guy go, they'll have no money for five years or something. You said here, I'm going to pull up his contract, but if you're looking at Daniel Jones and the Giants, you're thinking, man, they're, they're, they're in trouble with him. Right. No, they can get out of his contract. Oh, they can. Sean Watson's cause they didn't guarantee every single penny of it, but if the Browns decide to get out of to Sean Watson's contract, they're going to be messed up for years to come because their dead cap is like $200 million for him right now because of the guaranteed money. So if he plays next year, it's a hundred and 72 million. They basically are stuck with to Sean Watson for the foreseeable future because they will will, will be in big trouble on the cat. Sorry, Cleveland Browns to Sean Watson. According to Bill Barnwell's chart on ESPN, his chart did not complete a single pass further than six yards downfield. Bill Barnwell said his chart looked like something out of a pop Warner game. You are an NFL quarterback. You should be able to get the ball down 15 yards or so six yards downfield. That's not hard to cover, right? I mean, I know the Cowboys played well, but that's a little easier, you know, when that's the case. I just don't understand. We all said this at the time of the contract. What were the Browns thinking next year and the year after they owe him 72 or his cap hit is 72.9 million dollars for the next two years each. The three, the three primetime games coming up this week, Thursday, Bill's dolphins. So we'll be, we'll get ready for that. You can poke fun at the dolphins, but be careful because it is September. And that's when they seem to, you know, be able to play. We'll see how it happens Thursday. The Saturday night game this weekend is going to be bears Texans. I know what they're trying to do. They're trying to give me Caleb Williams against CJ Stroud, but Caleb Williams isn't ready to take on anybody yet through for 93 yards the other day. The bears, probably the first team in NFL history to rally from 17, nothing down at the half without scoring a touchdown. That's pretty good. They got one on a blocked punt. They got one on a fumble return, kicked a couple of field goals and pulled that game out against the Titans. The Monday night game next week, another not classic. Which one? Falcons, Eagles, you know, this is, I know these executives, they try to give you these good games. They, you know, so they think Kirk cousin signs with the Falcons. So now the Falcons are a big deal. They're not. They're the same old, same old Falcons. Unfortunately. All right. Well, take a break. Big five. Tony Gwen. Everything next. Gwen and Chris, Sandy goes number one sports talk station, 97 through the fan next hour. Sam Levitt's equal water show Cal Padre pregame show right now. For big five. 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 97 three, the fan. All right, Chris and I here in the Odyssey Palace and Tony up in Seattle, getting ready. He's about to get ready for the game between the Padres and the Mariners. We'll talk about that a little bit at five o'clock, get you ready for that game. But it's time now for the big five. And I've heard a ton about Francisco Lindor being in the mix for nationally MVP. Most are still thinking Otani is going to win it, but there is a notion that Lindor could make a vote a little more difficult. And here's what I have to say about that. Since the all-star break, Manny Machado has hit 291 with 12 homers, 11 doubles, 38 RBIs and an OPS of 898 and oh yeah, the team was winning like crazy. So Tony, is it crazy for me to think Manny should be in the conversation for MVP? I'm not saying win it, but at least he mentioned. I didn't know where you were going with this, Lindor was, okay, so yes, no, it's not crazy for you to think that. I think, I mean, when it breaks down, I think he'll be one of the finalists, what is it, usually three or four? Three or four? I think there's four. You're right. The thing is, right, these awards, a lot of times, boil it down to numbers and storylines. And you know, we talked about this I think last week in terms of Otani kind of being the runaway guy, but the reality is, if the Mets keep playing the way they play, that storyline is going to bubble, especially if Lindor continues to play the way he's played. Whether we like it or not, when you live in the state of New York, the biggest media, you know, spot in our country, that matters in these points. And I don't think there's no doubt. I don't think there's a doubt Manny will be in that top three, four when it's all said and done. But I think it's going to be, if the things keep rolling the way they are, I think there is, there's going to be more and more people that start to look at Lindor as the guy that can actually, you know, at least go neck and neck with Otani when it's all said and done. I do think that is starting to kind of shape itself as we get moved through the month of September and the Mets keep playing the way they're playing. Chris, is it crazy for me to think Manny should be in the conversation for MVP? It's not crazy, but I don't think it's going to happen. I think there are three finalists for every award, if I'm not mistaken, but MVP could have four, but I think it's three. And I don't think Manny is in the minds of enough voters around the country to be in the top three, finishing the top three. Look, I mean, who's your third, but who do you think is the consensus third? Yeah. I don't know. Marcello Zuna was until he fell completely off the map here in the last two or three weeks. You know, he was, he was making a run at the Triple Crown for a while, but, you know, I don't know. I think Manny deserves mention, obviously he has, to me and you, Tony, who have seen this every day, he's the, he's the, the, the secret oil that makes this engine run for the Padres. And for sure, you know, I know that Jackson Merrill is probably going to get some, some love for team MVP. I know Profar was there for a long, long time and you could mention Suarez and so many other guys, but you and I both know that when Manny hits the team wins and when he's in the middle of things, the team wins. So I think he's been the most valuable for the Padres in that sense, however, the Padres are probably not going to win the division. Uh, I, you know, I do still believe they're going to be a wild card, but they're going to be in the middle of the pack there. You know, I think O'Tani, Lindor will certainly be finalists. I think they'll grab somebody from either Philadelphia or maybe even Milwaukee. I, I'm not sure where they'll go with it, but I don't think Manny gets top three. He could get some votes down to the bottom of the top 10, but I think we're the only ones who know how, how valuable he truly is. Yeah. You're probably right. I'm probably jaded a little bit. Yeah. Because I watch him every day. Oh, I mean, look, I mean, if he doesn't win the gold glove this year, what does he got to do? You know, but he's probably not going to find somebody else to give the gold glove to probably find somebody else to give the silver slugger to. And we'll just take Manny for, you know, our guy, because we see him and know how great he is. And for some reason, everybody else wants to dislike this guy and not appreciate his amazing talent. I'm seeing that there is officially three from each league. Yeah. I think it is. I think Chris is right. There's up to 20. There was 22 ale guys voted for last year. Yeah. Right. Oh, no, he'll get a vote for his video. He'll show a fourth. Yeah, but they, but they would normally when they make the, the run down, I mean, they'll show the, they'll show the entire voting. So you'll see, man, I mean, because everybody votes one through 10, everybody gets 10 votes. And then if you get a, if you get one 10th place vote, you'd show up at the end on the ballot. You know, in the balloting. So Josh Naylor was one of the guys, Alex Braggman and Josh Naylor both got one vote. There you go. They both got a 10th place vote last year. So Manny, I'm sure the people in San Diego who get the two San Diego people who vote, you know, should find a way to get him in the top 10 and get him some points. Who did TJ Friedel pay to get on this last year? I don't know. Yeah. He must have had some information on a Cincinnati writer. Maybe. Yeah. All right, the 49ers are in a little bit of perceived trouble after last night's game. After the 40 minute 49ers dismantled the Jets, people were talking about Christian McCaffrey. And how much the 49ers may have known about him being scratched before the game last night. Now after the game backup, Jordan Mason was asked when he knew he was going to start. And he told the reporter, he said he was going to, he knew on Friday that he was going to start this game. And CMC was asked on Friday about his cafe. He said everything should be fine. Now Kyle Shanahan is denying everything about this, saying he was not told Friday. And that this was a game time thing. So Chris, you're at first here. Do you think the 49ers should be punished for this? Punished is probably a little strong, but I think they should sit back for a few moments while I unload on their long ways. Oh gosh. I knew this was going to be a dicey topic. Here's the thing. I talked about this yesterday when it was first mentioned that he was sitting out at the game, that this was problematic. And the reason it's problematic is because gambling runs football. And if you don't think that's true, all you have to do is look every Wednesday in your newspaper, if you still get one, at the injury reports that they put out every single week. Why do they put those out? Because we really need to know, no, for the gamblers to know who's playing and who's not playing. And when a superstar like Christian McCaffrey flies under the radar and nobody mentions that there's even a remote chance he won't play, he wasn't even questionable. He wasn't listed as he was questionable, probable. I mean, this guy was like, you know, Christian McCaffrey's playing until 90 minutes before kickoff after almost everybody had bet on this game. And imagine a lot of people who bet the 49ers weren't feeling too good about it until the game was actually played. The bottom line is the 49ers did what every team in the NFL does, right? They tried to keep secrets from their opponents. But the league generally frowns on this. And I think they definitely frown on it when you get caught red handed and lyingchileschanahan.caught redhand. Why are you calling him? Why are you lying? Kyle said he got caught. He got caught. He came out and said we just knew like 90 minutes ago. There's no way that this kid, Mason would say that he found out Friday night and without knowing what was going on. And he obviously knew that McCaffrey wasn't going to play so did everybody. And they didn't tell anyone and they got caught. And you know, so they had to listen to me for a few minutes and maybe some other people. Tony, should the 49ers be punished for this? I'm going to take a different approach on this. Interesting. I don't know that they should be punished for one of the things that Chris did. Which is that every team does this. And I think the difference could be they could easily claim as Kyle Shanahan did that I told him to be ready. Now in his mind, he could have interpreted that as basically knowing what he knows, the inside information. By the way, was he listed as questionable? Scrabie? Or was he just? I believe he was. Because I didn't know he was even on the injury report. Let me look at the injury report. Yeah. You'd have to look at an official injury report. I think that matters because it matters from the standpoint of at least if they had him listed as questionable, they can play to that as their reasoning for it seeming like it was a last minute deal. Like if he's questionable and in 90 minutes before the game, they come out and they say he's not playing. It's much more feasible at that point that, hey, 90 minutes before the game, he wasn't able to go. We made the turn. Now, if he wasn't listed as questionable, I think everything that Chris just said is absolutely right because, you know, unfortunately, he was questionable. Okay. So he was listed as questionable. Yes. Then I don't think there's participation in practice that I don't think there is there's going to be room for there to be more than you know, it's an investigation. You know, it's funny. There won't be an investigation. But you know, it's funny is Kyle Shanahan's dad, Mike Shanahan, did not like the fact that he had to list people nor did Bill Belichick. So you know, both of those guys used to do live on Wednesday. They put all 50 guys on their injury report as questionable. I mean, it could technically have all 50 guys just stick it to the league. And in the newspaper, the Denver Bronco thing took up like half the page because everybody was listed as questionable. So it's laughable, but don't don't overlook the gambling aspect of this. I mean, this is there's a lot of money exchanged on these games. If they end up getting in trouble, that will be why is because they people lost a bunch of money or the gambling. They could be. Sure. Yeah. For sure. I'm a little bit nervous about the Christian McCaffery injury because I told Chris yesterday and I've been saying it for weeks, there's no news about him, which concerns that was bad news. You thought? Yeah. Well, the bad news for everybody else is that with all due respect to Jordan Mason, it seems like Mason Rudolph could run behind that offensive line and gain a hundred yards. Hey, 147 yards is nothing to sneeze at. Maybe he wasn't touched till he got five yards downfield on every play. Wait, the defense of the Jets are so good. I thought they were, but the 49ers crushed them. We all knew that the moment they got CMC, it was like a cheat code, because the three guys that had before that, we ain't really heard from since. And they all, and it doesn't matter who you plug in there, they all just run. Now, don't be wrong, CMC is the cheat code of all those running back. But you know, I think we're seeing now with last night's performances and the performances before it, CMC got there, they can, they can do some run in the football. Hey, you know, Brandon, you probably would have caught a touchdown if he had taken part in any sort of practice before last night. That wasn't part of this question. I don't know. That's sure. We needed to get it out. We're going to be talking about betting here and that situation at number two. So right after this one, it goes three and then two, Chris. You following me? Okay. The Pittsburgh Steelers are sticking with Justin Fields as their starter quarterback for another week. Coach Mike Tomlin said today, Fields got the start over Wilson in last Sunday's week one matchup against the Falcons. And the decision means that Wilson, who is still dealing with a calf injury, won't get to face his team that let him go, Denver Broncos, it's going to be Justin Fields instead. Tony, do you think, yes, he is injured, he has a calf injury? Do you think Russell Wilson is on the back end of his starting quarterback base? I mean, I bet before he's even started, well, I think that's pretty obvious he's on the back end of his starting years. I don't think that very many people think he has a bunch of time left as a starter. So yeah, I think that's, that's accurate. Okay. Chris, it's pretty apparent that he is. I'm not ready to completely, you know, toss dirt on him yet. Justin Fields. He's just in the grave. Well, he's in a bad spot right now. Justin Fields didn't turn the ball over last week and led, you know, six field goal drives for what it's worth. With all due respect, Brock Purdy led the same amount of field goal drives last night. So, you know, maybe Justin Fields did some things well, I, you know, I, look, I, I think Justin Fields gives him a better shot than Russell does at this point, but that's my own opinion. You know, but if Russell gets his shot, you know, maybe he'll be able to grasp on to a little last minute magic, but he's certainly, you know, nearing the finish line and, you know, as Tony is, you know, etched in stone on this show, father time is undefeated and Russell Wilson has been playing for a while and playing really well for a long time. So let's not totally forget about what he's accomplished while, you know, at this point, he's not that same level. All right. Number two. Now, here's the sports betting card in regards to the 49ers. Someone put this online and the company that is in question is called bet 365, it's one of those overseas things I think. So after CMC was ruled out, this bettor received this message because they had bet over 13 and a half rushing yards for Jordan Mason. This, they wrote, we're contacting you because you placed a bet at the odds of minus 110 on Jordan Mason, over 13 and a half rushing yards versus the Jets. We have identified that this selection was placed at incorrect odds and as such in accordance with our rules, we'll be settled at the revised odds of minus 5,000. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience cause. Now everybody who made this bet is extremely mad because- Wait, give that to me again, you know, you said that in like betting terms and that just like- Basically, he was- He was- He was- He was- He was- He didn't like his money back, but they changed the line to make him win like a nickel back. They're saying it was incorrect odds that he got it at. So they're going to pay it out at minus 5,000. At the new odds. At the new odds. And so this person said, heck no, this is crazy, they put it online and they started steamrolling a little bit, but this isn't overseas things. So they can- Yeah. I don't know. Can they do anything with it? I don't know. Good luck with all of that. Yeah. Chris, should they have to pay out every single bet that was made over 13 and a half yards rushing for Jordan Mason? Seems like they should. You know, the- Look, the bookies are taking as much of a risk as the gamblers are. And you put a line out there and somebody bets on it and then something drastic like that happens, unfortunately you have to pay the price for it. I think- I mean, that would be my ruling on it, but at the same time, this is the gambling world. And even though it is now legal to pay place wagers in many states, I don't really know what the official governing body of gambling is. Seems to me the governing body of gambling is still some guy named Rocco coming over to your house and shaking the money out of your pockets. I hate how Rocco's coming. That's what I mean. So, you know, if these guys want to tell you, you just won $5 instead of 500, and good luck, you better find your own Rocco to try and get the money because I don't think they're going to give it to you. And I don't know who you're going to go complain to. That was really funny. So, Rocco, sorry. Tony, should they have to pay out every single bet? Oh, wow. I think I want to say, yeah, but you know, there are these things called a, you know, a mistake and, you know, in the gambling world, they get to kind of dictate how these mistakes go. Now, there has been like some payouts on some other things I feel like in the past. I would think so. If you let's just put it this way, if you put certain amount of money on the Padres when they were 50 to 1, and then they won, you know, 30 games in a row and became 5 to 1, you should still get paid at 50 to 1 if they end up winning. Because you, for sure, we're foreseeing something, luckily. For sure. So, and listen, I don't, I'm going to say that the, the, I'm going to go with Chris on this one. I would think that you probably got to make the adjustment when the adjustment is, is happening. These folks, I think, put in their money thinking it was one way. Now, was this like an obvious one? Like should they have known better? I mean, I wouldn't think that he would have made it anyway. Well, go back to what you said on question four though. Christian McCaffrey was officially listed as questionable. Yeah. Maybe a smart bet or somewhere or two thought I'm going to take a shot. I'm going to bet some money on his backup just in case he gets injured during the game. You know, he can't continue. My guy gets in there and he makes the 13 yards. I win. That, to me, that's smart betting. I don't think you can, you know, make the guy have to, you know, pay the price for a smart bet. Sounds like that. He was thinking ahead and taking a risk. Rocco can't be coming to his house. I don't think so. I think, I think Rocco has to head to bet three, six, five, Rocco is the enforcer of bet three, six, five. Now, do you think there should be like, okay, so they rule CMC out. People start betting on Jordan Mason at the, well, no, you know, later, the online challenge. Well, that's up to you. In that minute, that's up to you as the book you to get that line changed. So maybe you just take the bet down and take it down or whatever you've got to do because of the information, but I think this is a smart bet. I mean, these guys were risking money because anybody you bet, let's say $1,000 on Jordan Mason prior to yesterday afternoon was running the risk that this guy wouldn't even play in the game. True. True. So they were certainly risking something, you know, and then when it, when McCaffrey, you know, can't play now, it's a great bet. I don't think you can penalize them for that. They agree. All right, number one, the one constant through all the years, Ray, it's been baseball. America has ruled by like an army of steam rulers. It's been erased like a blackboard rebuilt in a race to get it, but baseball has marked the time. This field, this game, it's a part of our past, Ray. Oh, how am I supposed to answer that now? I don't know. I like how he says baseball, man, nobody says it said it like he did. Yes. Unfortunately, James Earl Jones passed away yesterday at the age of 93. So Tony, what is your favorite James Earl Jones movie? Because he has so many different roles all over the place. I'm taking a guess on this one. I'm going to see if Tony goes to the same place I'm thinking because I know what movie Tony loves. Come into it. Yes. Oh, I got it. I got it. I got it. One of my favorite parts. I knew that was where you're going. There's a few favorite quotes on there. I can't get the quotes exactly right, but the part where he kind of doesn't really want to marry the young lady that they have chosen for him and he got to all those people out there waiting and him and Eddie are back there talking about what's going on and the, I don't know what to call him serving, but the guy comes in as like a king. We have such and such an amount of people waiting. Oh, well, let them wait. What are my favorite parts of the movie? It was a pretty good invitation, by the way, pretty good. James Earl Jones is a legend, man. He'll be missed. His voice will certainly be missed on a lot of things that I think we can just kind of take for granted now, but yeah, man, that's a, that was, I mean, 93. That's one of the long, long life, very productive life. But yeah, that's one of my favorite, favorite Joe Jones. He's a ton of them. He's Darth Vader. Yeah. That's crazy. Right. It is crazy that he's Darth Vader, like that's one of the most iconic characters in movie history. What, what is the direct, who's the director that made that did George Lucas? Yeah. George Lucas, for him to recognize that whoever was playing that part didn't have the right voice that he was looking for. So defying James Earl Jones to do just the voicing is, it is beyond brilliant. Yeah. My favorite, my favorite James Earl Jones movie is not a movie that he's famous for his voice, but by the way, I shouldn't call it him James Earl Jones. It was King Joffee Joffee coming to America. So I watched that movie again. I haven't seen it very long time. Thank you for getting it right. He's very famous as we know for field of dreams and all the other ones, but it is another baseball movie that is my favorite James Earl Jones movie. He plays the catcher in this movie. It's called the bingo long traveling all stars and motorkings. It came out in the 70s, the bingo long traveling all stars and motorkings and stars Billy D Williams who's the pitcher and James Earl Jones is the catcher who he recruits for a barnstorming team. They are not getting treated well in the Negro leagues by their owner. So they all boycott the actual league. They go around the country. They play baseball and they earn their way back into their rightful spot in the Negro leagues. James Earl Jones is kind of the Josh Gibson character, a slugging catcher, Richard Pryor is in this movie. It is quite awesome and I highly recommend for any baseball fan to go back and find it. So I will go with that one. All right. Well, that was a good big five everybody. Very good. It's got to be Darth Vader from bucket list was pretty good too. Yeah, but Darth Darth Vader was kind of a low hanging fruit yet to go somewhere else. You guys you guys pick some good ones. All right. That's it for the big guy. I am your father. We everybody knows that. How about just this is CNS. Oh, that is true. I had no idea of that until this morning, by the way. I was. Do you think he gets paid every time? Have they used that thing? Great. This is a maybe okay, I was going to say something that I thought was funny, but I didn't want to go there. All right.

It's a good thing baseball's already have stitches because the way these ball players are hitting them. Yeah, yeah, they need stitches if they didn't already have them. So the next time you're watching a poor little baseball smacked off the wall and sent it. Keep that little fella in your thoughts. It's hard to be a baseball right now.
