Total Rod Beck vibes. I mean, I don't know if he's intentionally doing this, but it is a pretty good dead-on, perm heads hairstyle coming over the shoulders. He's got the little mustache that Rob Beck had. Now all he needs is a very high-pitched voice and he'll be on his way to being Rob Beck reincarnated. Hey, everybody, it's Grant Holmes! One-nothing lead. Braves it, hit. We were talking a little bit about the daily gamut, but we're going to push that aside and talk a little rotation. Scrab, you had some thoughts on it. What you got? Before we get into that, join 97-3 the fan tomorrow as we broadcast all day at Baja Ricks in the gas lamp leading up to game 1 of the baseball playoffs. Bedded Woods will kick us off at 6 a.m. as we celebrate the postseason, presented by Santo Super Premium, additive-free Tequila. Santo, work hard, play loud. Now, the question's about the rotation going on right now. And, you know, sometimes I think that's a crazy take on the chat. I'm not going to bring that up. Are we talking chat rotations? Well, let's go into that in a second. You're right. Let's talk about the actual- I'm going wherever you want to go, Scrab. I'm going to go with the actual conversation and then we'll go to the chat. So, Dennis Lin predicted that the three pitchers in the rotation are going to be Dylan C's Michael King and Joe Musgrove. In that order? I don't necessarily know that order, but I would assume that's the order. Okay. What are they missing from that? You Darvish. Dennis Lin also thinks that you Darvish could come out of the bullpen in this wildcard series. I think he pitched on what, Friday? So, he wouldn't be available again to Wednesday. So, this may be more of a rest decision than, like, not wanting to pitch him decision by putting him on, you know, in the bullpen. I don't know. I'll ask you who of the four, if you had to put the three, four in order of who's pitching best right now, how would you go with? What I just said, Dylan C's Michael King and Joe Musgrove. So, there you go. And that's, you Darvish has pitched well. He's pitched really well. He has. But, you know, I think given the time, he's been away and this is what, that was his fourth start back, I believe. So, this will be his fifth one since coming back. I see it. I see Dylan C's. I see Michael King. And if for some reason it gets away, you got red hot ears coming in on game three and who's red hot? Oh, Joe Musgrove. Come on. Get some good stuff together, man. I was like, huh? Did someone have red ears this year? And I know not this year. But, you know, if the Mets end up winning this game, we'll have a rematch only different venues this time. You won't have to fight with the Mets fans when you're calling the game anymore. They can't get to our spot. We won't have a shouting match like we did a couple of years back with the very upset Mets fan in game three. This is why I think it's so hard to predict the rotation because here and there I've been trying to talk about the playoff rotation for the past three weeks and never once that I leave you, Darvish out of it. And now, you know, there's news coming out that you Darvish is possibly not even going to be in or where's the chat ad on this? The chat is saying that you pay attention to match up bait. Well, one person on the chat say you pay attention to kind of match up base stats for that picture. So, for example, Dylan sees if he's not good against the Braves, you don't start him against the Braves and I like you taps, but I think that's a little out. You like what? That's the name. Tap. I think it's a little out there to look at career numbers against the team and then decide whether or not you're going to start that picture. Dylan Cease is the guy who should go in game one. There are some times where you just kind of got to throw the numbers out. Dylan Cease is your top guy. Yeah. He just is. He's been all year. All season long. Him and Michael King right there. And that's who's going behind him. I also, because Paul said on the round table last week that he would have liked to see maybe Michael King come out of the bullpen. Did his hat just come off? I don't think I've ever seen that before. A picture through the brave picture through off it is it is hat came off as he threw it. He got the punch out to which made it even cooler. Right. I don't know if that hat messed up Bader. It just came right off his head and fell on the ground. That is really interesting. But anyway, Paul was saying that he would like to see say Dylan Cease gets into trouble. Then you have Michael King come out of the bullpen and you got a guy like we're talking about contingency plans. Like who are you bringing out of the bullpen? If the starter doesn't start well, like your three innings in, you need to pull the starter. Who's the next up? Is it someone like you, Darvish? Is it someone like Michael King? Is it? You're definitely not using Michael King. For the bullpen. Under any circumstance. He's going to start. Yes. He's starting game two. Yeah, no, that's silly. I think that's silly. Before I realized that Michael King was going to be in the rotation. I thought maybe that would be good to have him in the bullpen. Fine. If he hadn't pitched well enough to be in a rotation, I think that's a good that might be worth it. But he has pitched well enough to be in a rotation. He's been to Padres. You know, you can argue best starter based off ERA. I mean, he has been that good. So, you know, I think Dennis has it probably right. He's also talking to a lot of people. Yeah, I mean, he's didn't just come out of the wind with that. I mean, he's kind of piecing it together, right? I think sees King Joe, if need be, if you're sweet, guess what? You probably can go Joe U in the next series and... The DS. Man, I mean, this is why the, this is why teams fear or don't want to deal with them. They don't want to deal with the Padres because... And that's just a pitching element of it, right? And as Jimmy said it, it's a six inning game, right? The Padres get a two run, three run lead. It's going to be tough. You know, the one run games are always, you know, can always go up, can go the other way. But you start getting multi runs against a bullpen like the Padres have. It's going to be an uphill climb. Well, in 2024, they're 40 and 25 in games decided by one or two runs. Last year, 25 and 42. I was about to say it's almost a exact flip. Everything is almost exact flip. Wind loss and extra innings this year, 10 to 10 and 2, last year, 2 and 12. Four run innings this year, they had a lot more. 47, 20, 23, they had 28. And then comeback victories, they had 38 this year. And then they had 27 last year, which seems like a lot for a team that... I mean, that's how they got to 82 and 80, you know, and it's true. Some of them come back to help get them over 500. Let's talk about the eliminator real quick. Well, we just go to skip from baseball to the eliminator. No. I panic there for a second. I was like, okay, that conversation didn't go on as long as I thought it was going to go. But you Darv is to the bullpen. And that's the other thing, you don't know how these starters will perform coming out. It's a different monster, like getting up on the call, getting loose. A lot of starters take longer to get ready. He's never pitched out of the bullpen in his major league career, but he pitched... He pitched in the world baseball classes. Yes. I don't remember how he did. It wasn't great. I don't... It wasn't. Ever last year was a struggle for him all the way around. Yeah. Well, we'll see. Padres are in a good spot. roster doesn't have to be named. And of course, the Padres are still waiting to see who they're going to play right now. They're playing the Mets, unless the Mets lose this game. They're going to play the Braves. And you were saying, because before the show I was like, really don't want to see the Mets, but you were saying, I don't want to see the Braves. I'm not saying I don't want to see anybody. I want to see anybody because I think the team is that good. I think the Braves are the more difficult matchup. They got two lefties in that rotation and sell and free. And his back is going to magically feel better tomorrow? Yes, what y'all. I wouldn't be surprised if that man is pitching tomorrow. That would be kind of crazy at a hole in the game that you need to win to put you in the playoffs and then you lose. I mean, there's going to be some questions to answer. If they don't have to play the next day, it's just a back spasms cup of mouth. And you got to think too. And as I said, I think he missed his previous two starts to this. The back spasms probably has something to do with that. Oh, yeah, has to. I mean, I don't think that he's going to set out the biggest game of his season. And he actually won the Triple Crown today, the pitching Triple Crown. Him and Terrick Scooble. Who didn't win the Triple Crown? Show here, Tony, baby. Everybody enjoy that laugh. I love it. 314 to 310. I mean, Shohei did everything he could in the last, like, two weeks. I don't think he made an hour. Is that where Luis was at? 314? He finished the 314. Ah, if he had went one more point down, he would have been tied for the lowest batting title win. Really? 313 is? 313. Mr. Tony Gwen. 87, I believe it was. There was only 87. Wow. There's only seven players, unless Marcelo Zuna finishes this game under 300. There's only seven players this year that hits 300. Yeah, I think that's about the same number as the previous year. So, it's all up from here. Padres back in action tomorrow. 538, not 540, not 640, 538, and we are the prime time game. That's a big deal. So, tomorrow, we have Baja. We're going to all be out of Baja Ricks from 6 a.m. until Sammy Levitt's pregame, which he will be doing in the loft. So, you can come down to Baja Ricks and you can hang out with us before the game, get something to eat, get something to drink. I will recommend that everybody get, get there very early, because last time the playoffs were here, it was atrocious downtown. It was very hard to get anywhere downtown. You know what's funny is I don't remember anything other than being in the stadium and it was raining and people were just like, I've never seen San Diego so willing to get wet in my entire life. It was euphoric. It was, that's the exact word I used. It was euphoria. There, everybody was like kind of swaying with the rain. I don't know if that actually happened, but it felt like it was happening in like real time as they were eliminating the Dodgers. That's what I can remember. I listened to another shameless plug. I've been doing a lot of these shameless plug plugs on my 12 games in October podcast, but I was listening to one over the weekend just kind of get pumped up for the game. In that episode, I listened to, do you remember there was a drone delay during the game? At our place? Yeah. I do remember that. There was some idiot that was flying their drone over the field and they had to stop. And then Jake Croneworth almost like threw a ball at it because it was coming after him. And I just remember it hovering over for a long time and then just taking off into the sky and like never be seen again. Yeah. It's yeah. This weird, weird things happen during these games. I mean, you had the goose, I hope the goose. That's another thing that I've the rally goose. I don't know if it was a rally goose, but I know we want to, we're going to claim it as the rally goose. It literally hasn't showed up ever, ever since. The goose finally made it to where it's going. You know what I remember about that series too? It was like 101 degrees in L.A. that first series. Oh yeah. It was blazing hot. It was. And then when the Phillies were here, it was like 95, 100 degrees during one of those day games as well. But everybody get down there early. Everybody, you know, be safe, take the trolley, take a bus, take a new bus. Listen, this is what needs to be said. This is the first series that the Padres have hosted at home in a long time. Yeah. I totally expect it to be absolutely bonkers. It's going, if it's bonkers on a Friday night against the White Sox, it's going to be bonkers in the wild. That's not the same thing. That what I do remember about the playoffs is that it was a different focus from our fan base and that, I mean, they were dialed in. Oh my gosh. They were focused. They didn't focus on the championship. They didn't need to be prompted by the board. They just were in the moment a lot. When Josh Hader closed out that game on that Friday to win the first game at home, I was in the stands and I legitimately was scared because it was shaking. The people were jumping around so much. It was insane. You could see the stadium moving. I'm ready for this. I'm pumped up. I'm requiring a different another level up, another level up for us. You want the fans to have another level. Another level. I'm just, you're just asking to be there, you know, you, you, that's, that's a Josh Hader coming. That's, that's hate watching right there. You know what I'm saying? That's a different type of vibe. I'm talking about like dialed in pitch one, the pitch, whatever, cheering when you need to cheer, booing when you need to boo, represent, represent whoever's coming in it, whether it be the Mets or the Braves, they should walk out feeling like, dang, that's, that's some next level stuff right there. All right. Well, let's get to break more Padres when we come up. We got our good, bad and ugly, also coming up a little bit later on, some good, but some good football games. Yeah. Last night or yesterday, last night was a, a drubbing. We'll get into that. She'll lacking. She'll lacking. Which I saw in the headline. I love it. There was a bunch of people that didn't want to tackle yesterday and I don't blame them. Not one bit more going to Chris on the other side of some traffic.

Before we move to our next segment, a bit of sad news to share NBA great. The Kim Bateman tumble passed away. No, no, no. Yeah. The finger with wag is what we know is famous now. I think he was like the first one to really bring it to sports and he passed away from brain cancer at the age of 56. 58. 58, excuse me. That is young. Yeah, man. Sad. You know, cancer is just a horrible, horrible disease that we have not been able to really wrap our arms around yet in terms of figuring out how to at least slow it down. It's just, and I know we've come a long way in advanced medicines and things of that, but it's still taken out far, far too many people and young people. Exactly. You know, obviously cancer has touched my family has touched many, many families out there. And so, you know, it's just sucks to see somebody young pass away like that. Yeah. My aunt, she died in her early 40s because of ovarian cancer. And I just saw how her family went through it and yeah, I mean, it's just one of those things. Yeah. Cancer sucks. No doubt. It is tough. All right. Let's get to some more smiley things. I guess I should say baseball coverage on 97 through the fans presented by T mobile headed Tmobile.com and get a great deal on an iPhone 16 pro. I want to start with this. The Diamondbacks are currently sitting in their stadium right now with their bags packed ready to go to Millawakay. Millawakay. If they, if they qualify for the playoffs, why not just have everybody at home? Why, why all weight there? You can't. They won't have time to care. Listen, I guess you're going right to tell you something about baseball play. You don't give them direction early early enough. That might not make that. That playing might not have arrived wherever it's going. So you're pulling up as taking off right, like you got to give them direction. And so, you know, prior to that had first and third, two outs there, I'm sure everybody in that locker room in Arizona was on their feet as they were hoping a two out knock from Peter Lonzo. The polar bear would come through instead. He grounded the third inning over, brave still leave one, leave one another. I'm at Joey Luccasey right now is pitching a gym. Yes. 100, almost 100 pitches now into the sixth and he's only giving up the one run. I got to say, I forgot Joey Luccasey was still active. I knew that you had been hurt and stuff, but I mean, this is this is one of those situations where it's like the Mets have clinched. They're like, Hey, man, we don't need to go out there and just do it. Just eat some innings. You're on your own because we're not bringing any real bowl pit help. I mean, you might be a couple other dudes who may not be on his roster going to pitch, but we're going to leave you out there as long as we possibly can. Sounds like what the Padres did to Mount Walgreens yesterday is exactly what this is. They're surely the same thing. I'm happy that he was able to get back on the team for one last go because he's, he's not going to make the playoff roster, but he was such an important part of this team for a good period of time there in the middle of the year. Yeah, man, that's the part that, that, that, you know, makes you feel kind of bad, right? I mean, at one point earlier this year is right after Dylan Cease had a really good start in Chicago, like dominant. It's one of like his first really good stuff against the Cubs. I remember that. Yeah. After that, he kind of, he kind of fell off a little bit during that time. I think Joe went on the aisle. I think you went on the aisle and Matt Waldron for, I would say about a month span was the Padres best pitcher. And even when he didn't have his best night, he was going like six, seven innings of work and he was one of the only pitchers at the time, him and King really doing that. They stabilized that rotation while you guys, we had guys out. I mean, vast at one point, if I'm not mistaken, we had King Waldron, Vasquez, Major at one time. Yes. In that spot. Forgot about that. And I'm sure I'm missing somebody. But that was kind of how we were, and we had some off days in there. So we were able to kind of skip starts. It was a little bit of a ragtag thing for a little bit. And again, this is why Mike, well, I, he should win manager of the year in a national league. I know who have at least, you know, one other guy I can think of off the top of my hand, Mendoza, for the match, but I think, you know, that's the part that makes you feel kind of bad for Matt, right? He was out there. And listen, he gets it. He's part of why the Padres are here, came in, knew the Padres were short because they are already cleansed. They're trying to, you know, line their guys up and he went out there and gave some Padres some innings at that point. Here's what he did in the span of 36 games from May 28th of July 6th. So it was almost a month and a half, really. This is from Kevin AC with both you and Joe out, the Padres had 15 quality starts over that time, Waldron turned in seven of those and over 14 starts from May 11th through July 24th. His 2.76 area was fifth best in the major leagues. I don't think any of us expected him to pitch like that the whole year, but I think he pitched a lot better than we all thought for a lot longer than we all could. Yeah, certainly was a lot of y'all was trying to ship him out after the first two starts in April, you know, and I remember a round table having that topic. And he really did what it's, I mentioned it on the air yesterday. It's a classic example. You know, when we, when guys, when I was playing and he lined up in there for the first, you know, manager conversation for spring training, you know, it's, it sounds cliche, but it's going to take, it's going to take at least 40 guys to do this. I've heard that before. It literally took that many guys for it more for the Padres this year. I mean, at different points, and all of them at some point have had big games, weeks, in some cases, months that allowed the Padres to get where they are. I mean, Tyler Wade at the beginning of the year was playing a lot because Manny wasn't playing every day at third base, right? And so he's found his niche in there. The Padres bring in Solano. He's like just the substitute teachers, the substitute teachers. The perfect mix in Peralta. I mean, we could just keep going down the list and the trades, the trades. I mean, even the guys who, you know, were a part of that pin before that kind of patch worked it together. It's just been a, it's everything that could go right for the Padres this year, I think has. Unlike last year where it seemed like nothing could go right for the Padres at all. I mean, I thought it was funny, Chris sent us a picture from the Bronx. He was watching the Yankees game, and he said Grisham hit a home run. So it's like, I think his tech said, of course Grisham hits a home. Yeah, that is really funny. Maybe, maybe Chris is the Grisham whisper. Real quick, because we're going to go into good bad ugly on the other side. The eliminator, we did get the bell. Oh, I forgot to get the balance right outside the door. So I'm going to show you. I'm going to grab it. Oh, he's going to go grab it. He'd take it out of the box, and we're going to show you on the other side. But there's only 13 entries left in the eliminator from over 200 to start the season. And two more people have been eliminated because they pick the Steelers in the Saints. Now Tony's trying to, oh, there he is. I designed this belt, and I'm very, I did, I'm very concerned as to how it's here. Oh, look at that. Come on over here, camera. The champ is over there. Sham right here, baby. Wow. That's pretty cool. I got to say. So 13 people are still left in the mix for this eliminator challenge. And if you're looking at the camera right now, you get that if you win. That's pretty sweet. I must say. That's really sweet. That turned out way better than I thought it would. But yeah, 13 people left. So all right, when we get back, we are going to talk about what happened in the NFL. A major injury, lots of good stuff from Derek Henry. We will take a break here and come back with a good bat in the ugly on 97 through the fan. 335 Tony's with junior Matt Scrabie, winning Chris. Cameras acting up a little bit. Your camera's not even facing you, Brett. Oh, wow. I didn't even move. Scrabie and I are entertaining ourselves during a break. It's chat. This is for the chat. Have any of you guys who use Instagram ever accidentally like posted a story that, you know, you're kind of just looking and you, you know, kind of maybe tried to send it to somebody and it ended up in your story and it was embarrassing. I'm definitely afraid of that. So no, it's definitely happened to me the earlier this year. I didn't share it because I didn't want anybody to know. But now we're a couple of weeks away. You can't go back and find it. I definitely did that. We were, I can't remember coming from somewhere and I had kind of, first of all, this is another don't do. I had had like one adult beverage and so like I'm like trying to send my wife something and I ended up putting it on my story. Oh, oh, and didn't know. I didn't even know for like hours. Was this a Shannon Sharp situation, Adam said that on the sea said, we call that a Shannon no, no, no, no, that's, that's different. That's different embarrassment. Yes. Yes. This is just a meme thought that I had, okay. And I was sending it to her and I posted it and it sat there for like three hours because it was a long three hours, a long flight before I fell asleep, woke up and I'm going through my phone. I'm like, yo, what, why is this on there? And I was like, oh my gosh, I didn't send it. I actually posted it. And it's just been sitting online for three hours in the air, 500 eyeball saw it. Oh, it was embarrassing. At least it wasn't something like terrible. No, it wasn't. It wasn't too terrible. Someone on a Trent on the chat said, yes, yes, he's done. Yes. Yes. He's done that. Yes. He's done that. And he was like, yeah, I didn't think you post stuff like that. And I just thought, you know, oh, okay, that's what my dad's doing now. I was like, I miss this post, but if I would have seen it, I'd probably would have second to you. I know you would have got, I would have got a text from somebody if somebody who I knew saw it. Yeah. Because they know I don't, I don't get down like that, but either way, we were just talking about that. Did you figure out what it was that you wanted to get back to the, the chat was on to you about earlier? No, I can't remember, but I will go back and look because there was something there and I can't remember. So we got a GBU, good, bad, ugly after traffic. All right. The other thing that happens. I just remembered on Twitter and Instagram is, you know, you start at a certain maturity level. You get older, you know, some of tweets don't apply no more. Now if you're, if you're, if you're real bad at this, it can come back and bite you. No, it's like that. And much worse way, but Scravey, uh, I feel like some of our listeners have dug up some dirt on you, man. Yeah, I, it's, it's not really dirt. I'm not, I'm not someone who has hid this or anything like that, but it was sent. These tweets were sent during before, before you start getting to that, yeah, we have to acknowledge, uh, the stardom that Matt Scravey is starting to, it's starting to ascend to someone created a Facebook, a fake Facebook profile of me. I'm like, I'm the last person you should be, I mean, Facebook, all I know is that two years ago, no, what was thinking about, no, the, the profile says Matt Scravey the second. Like I had some kid, this is, this is, this is what starts to happen. Scravey. Now, people are interested enough to find some dirt on you. It went all the way back to 2016. So this was, uh, this was the, the other Scravey that, uh, this was the very end of that Scravey. So this was the most vulnerable. So this was the most vulnerable. Some of us would love to like have experienced one time. Not this guy. This guy was crying and rehab and all the other stuff. So this is, this is, this is rock band. It's when the, cause the giants won the world series every other year starting at 2010. So it's 10, 12, 14. I, yes, I know, um, 16, they played the Cubs. The Cubs went on the win the world series, but they were playing the Cubs. So I was tweeting like, go giants thinking it would be fun. I didn't even work here yet. I mean, I was, I had nothing to do with the 97th through the fan Padres radio network. But Matt Scravey the second went out and found all this stuff. So whatever did they tweeted to me, it seems like you really loved the Giants. It's like, I got you. I got you. And all it said was, let's go giants. I'm not ashamed to say, like grew up in the Bay area. I think everybody knows what I can say is over the past. Well, when I sent those tweets, I was drinking still. So I'm glad that was only those that were the ones that I sent. You clearly were in a good enough spot not to go beyond. I was working on the sobriety thing. Okay. I was. You were trying at this point. Failing, but trying. That's all right. It was the start of getting where you are now. It was the start. So I saw these this morning and I was like, huh, someone actually took the time to go back in my timeline and check out what I've been saying. So if that's the worst you could find, because I don't tweet crazy stuff. I guess when the 40 years lost the Super Bowl 2011 to the Ravens. So you have some explicit expletives? No, it was more of like how devastated I was. Oh, man. Much like you. I don't remember. Well, I don't remember posting that because I was wasted and I woke up the next morning with a bunch of like comments and I deleted it immediately because it was bad. I wasn't, I wasn't, uh, I wasn't inebriated. I just, I, you know, just didn't know when this one, you know, one drink gets you a little loose. All of a sudden you ain't quite hitting the buttons right the way you need to and yeah, that one got me. All right. Let's get into some GPU anyway. That was good. All right, let's start with this. If you love Mediterranean food, try Spiro's for authentic Mediterranean cuisine and Coronado or Bajoya for dining or take out options, visit Spiro's cuisine.com. The first good game in the good category would be the Falcons beating the Saints 26 to 24. And it all came down to a, a long field goal, 58 yard field goal. Here it is. Snap spot kick from Coo is away and it is good 58 and the money shot for young Roy Coo. Nice money shot. All right. Yes. 58 yards. I got to say, by the way, that had, that had more distance to go too. It had 61 at least, uh, kicking is incredible this year. Fucking is, is, it's funny, right? I don't think anybody was, you know, felt one way or another about the extra point rule, but I feel like it has led us to this point. Yes. Like you can't just have, uh, you got to have somebody with a leg. It's a weapon now. I think Tucker was like the, the first one of his kind now seems like teams are finding these guys who can, to have a foot or a leg I should say, uh, cool one of those guys. Yes. 58 yards. I mean, the, the number of 50 yard field goals that have been made this year is crazy, uh, but I put it, I put this in there for Adam because Falcons go to two and two, they end up driving all the way down the field to get that field goal. So good stuff there. Now last night, what, what does Adam need help or what are we doing? Braves law, or yeah, Braves lost the first game. I just put it there just to make out and feel good. He got one when Georgia lost in a pretty awesome game, a 17 year wide receiver for Alabama. He is not here. He'll be here. Well, you won't see him tomorrow, but anyway, I don't give nothing but whiz, whiz, I don't, I don't give a piss about nothing but roll tide or something along those lines. I have no idea what you're talking about about the tide, something like roll tide, uh, Ravens. They prove that they're still that team. They dismantled the bills, 35, Ted, Derek Henry in his quote, unquote old age still has a ton of speed to receivers from the left. Here's a handoff Henry outside the right hash 15, 20, 25, 30, there goes Henry out the midfield Buffalo 40 far sideline, 30 Henry, the 20 15, 10, five, touchdown Ravens, uh, and the Ravens took Josh Allen out of the game, took everybody from the bills side out of the game and 35 10s a pretty good one for them. Uh, the Ravens look scary in that game. Yeah. Um, I don't, they have figured out that having Lamar Jackson and Derek Henry in their backfield is the best part of their team. Yeah. I think Lamar threw the ball 17 times yesterday, he was like 15 of 17 or 13 of 17, Mark Andrews had like two targets. Yeah. Hey, listen, no catch it two weeks in a row. If you're not going to be able to stop that run and it looked like after a while, Buffalo was not interested in tackling Derek Henry and I don't blame them. My man was running 21.5 miles per hour, only 0.2 miles per hour slower than worthy from the chiefs who was supposed to be the fastest dude in the league. He was the fastest dude in the draft, according to them, but Derek Henry is underrated through time, I think. I don't know that people give him enough credit for being one of the best running backs in the last 10 years. No doubt. Well, he was one yard finish, one yard short of 200, which would have been what? I mean, 200 yard game, which would have patched past OJ Simpson and a couple of other big name running backs for it. It was interesting during the game. They were talking about they were comparing him to Michael Diggerson, Eric Diggerson excuse us and watching him run and then putting the kind of photos of Eric Diggerson up. Makes sense. Big dude. It does. Nobody really runs high. No one wants to tackle him. No one wants to tackle him. That was always the worst is when I was playing high school football with my with the Minnesota Viking Tech coach, Kevin O'Connell is my teammate. Whenever running backs are just run straight at me and I was like playing scout linebacker and no chance. You know what I remember from my brief moment as a football player, my freshman year, you stick your arm out on a running back that is running full speed and you don't and it's just your arm. Your arm is is dead for like a long time. My senior year we played Dailasau and Dailasau had a guy named Maurice Jones true. Guy. You mean NFL running back. He returned the opening kickoff even after being tackled and like floated on bodies and no one knew what would happen, but late in the game I went in and I went to go try to tackle him, put my arm out and my arm, I think detached and I had to go get it from the field. It was it was on the field detached from my body. There's all kinds of things that happened on that field. I was like, you know what? This ain't it for me. I thought I thought, oh, okay, that is why I'm not going to play college football because I can't stop this guy. Dave's pouring it on right now, by the way, three nothing in the seven. Marcelo Zuma. I don't know, Matt Olson out at second base. Anyway, they just scored a couple runs. Three nothing Braves going into the top of the eighth. Commanders are legit. Jaden Daniels is legit and Terry McLaurin loves them. Here's the snap. Here's a break for plenty of time for Jaden. If we're going to the middle end of the game, so that is part touchdown touchdown Washington. I heard a stat today that was insane. Jaden Daniels has led more scoring drives this season than he has in completion, Tony. I think he what he don't have that many a completion. No, that's what I'm saying. The punter punnet yet? Yes, he did. Finally punnet yesterday. I always enjoy the stories of guys that we're not expecting to do a whole lot of much and then they come in and I mean, he's been phenomenal. It's been better. He's been better than everybody in the draft. So if there hasn't been a player that's been better than him at this point and you know, nobody was talking about the commanders at all. I have a feeling we're going to be talking about them here as we get through the season and they can stay in one Arizona Cardinals now one in three not looking great. I think that upset. Good job. This hour is brought to you by L Smith, three ninety four pail L Smith, three ninety four pail. The playoffs watch all of the San Diego postseason action at the Ailesmith tasting room in Miramar with game day specials on three ninety four and more route for the home team with other fans while enjoying the game with sound. Don't miss out. By the way, all TV broadcast now are no longer done in mud. So you have to listen to Jesse and Tony. They will be broadcasting live throughout the playoffs. It's kind of a weird thing about baseball and TV. Not weird at all. I love it. Long down ninety seven three to fan with me and Jesse got you. I love it. All playoff long. All right. We've been kind of all over the place in this GBU, but let's go forward. The Colts beat the Steelers twenty seven twenty four and I say this is in the bad category because Anthony Richardson cannot stay healthy and Joe Flacco had to come in the game. Flacco backs the throw, has good protection over the middle wide open for the Colts at the five. And they got into the end zone touchdown to all the trade touchdown in D. Y. Yes, sir. It's twenty three to OK, but cut off faster than I thought, but Anthony Richardson goes down due to like a hip injury. He comes back into the game. The Colts coaches call another quarterback run, which didn't seem to help his hip and he left the game, but they did when Justin Fields gets his first loss with the Steelers. He had over three hundred yards, two rushing touchdowns, Eagles in the Buccaneers. The Eagles had no wide receivers in this game of note, AJ Brown and Devonta Smith were both out of the game. So the Bucks took full advantage and the Bucks have something going with Baker Mayfield. Our second staff inside the rise of redstone, a little low, Baker Mayfield lifts the show with those paths. It's a hot ball in the end zone, did you hang on? Touchdown Tampa Bay, Troy Palmer. There you go, thirty three sixteen Buccaneers win that one. Another for the bad category, the Raiders beat the Browns twenty to sixteen. It's bad for the Browns. I don't have a highlight for this because they lost their kicker missed a P.A.T. and so they could have kicked a field goal at the end of the game to tie it and put it over time, but they had to score a touchdown and they weren't able to convert, so the Raiders went on the win. But Deshawn Watson throws for a hundred and seventy six yards yards and averages only five and a half yards per completion in this game. Deshawn Watson is not the same quarterback. I think that's pretty clear now. I don't know what it is. I mean, I don't know if it's off the field stuff that's clouding his head or if he's just not that guy anymore, but he's not that guy. Yeah, man, karma, it has it has seemingly settled in on him because there's nothing from a physical standpoint that happened to him, you know, it was all off the field stuff and yet he has not been close to the same player since he left Houston. It's been something and it's it's it's funny. Your Joe Flacco said that the Browns never even offered him an opportunity to come back. Well, they they don't have no money. It's all going into Sean Watson's pocket. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have cost him anything to bring flacco back, but it's like I'm still playing. That's what I'm saying. I thought I loved his comment yesterday about their telemantha Richardson's thought he was a lot cooler than he imagined and he said, you know, as he told me, I'm eight days younger than his mom. I highly doubt. Oh my God. I highly doubt that he thinks I'm cool in any type of way. I thought that was great point eight days, man. That puts your age in perspective. All right, ugly category, we only have two games. The games were pretty even throughout yesterday. There wasn't any crazy ugly games with the Broncos beat the Jets 10 and nine and I don't know if we want it. We don't really have time to get into it now, Tony. We can get into it a little bit later, but Robert Salah and Aaron Rogers just do not see each other on. They're not on the same page with each other at all. Yeah, we'll get into some of that sound because I know we got to get to break. We'll get into it on the other side. Final game. The Texans actually let me play this highlight because CJ Stroud had to make a comeback and he did. And here it is. Off said I see Jables after the right close to the end zone. It's Dorey and the Texas score, they lead. Jags led this one 20 is 17 and 17 in the fourth CJ Stroud came from behind Trevor Lawrence loses his ninth straight game. Something happened with Travis ETN. He barely played in the first half. He looked very dejected. I don't know what's going on with that Jags. Yeah, they got some, they got some stuff going on there. Peterson at one point seemed like the perfect fit after your boy, Urban Meyer left, but you know, that thing is still not right at the top and it seemed like it's still trickling on. I don't know. I don't know. It doesn't seem like it. He puts in a lot of money into that. He does. I don't know that it's his fault this time. All right, let's get to break on the other side. Tony versus the fans.
