Thanks for making us part of your day. General at your service, there's Broadest Former Cowboy Scout and a fellow executive, Lucius Alexander who was in the PIMP Cup over there at Master Control here at 75 and fits you. He has a Rangers Championship hat on, and I'm enjoying the last few days of, you know, being defending champions, maybe what, another five, six weeks here, being able to say that. - Yeah. - Raining champions, if you will. Rangers, baseball, a back tonight, eight o'clock pregame, eight 30, a first pitch. They are in Oakland and see why it's gonna join us at 420. It'll be our last conversation of the year. Maybe last conversation 'til the toy drive. - Yeah. - We'll talk to him about how the season's gone and what he's hoping to do in the winter and all that. That's coming up at 420 Rangers fans. Of course you have Wulchuck and Chia Follow, your nosebleed brothers, and you have Carter Freeman coordinating your video and you can watch us at 105-the-fan.com, Twitch and YouTube. The tragic comedy known as Gback Survivor continued last night, unbelievable. Commanders, they look pretty good. They go down the field, get some big scores there in the second half and win kind of convincingly against a Bengals team that was one of the picks to challenge the Kansas City Chiefs there in the AFC. - Desperate team, they are now. - Yeah. - And yeah, it's just amazing that all four of us are gonna be doing bet pay ups. This usually doesn't even have the chance of happening until late in the season when all the good teams that are obviously gonna win are off the board. But I thought we were playing really good likelihoods of victory and it's just been upset mania. So you're gonna quadruple bet payoff coming up on Friday for the first time in Gback Nation history. - Yeah, man, this is as gut wrenching of, like I'm now, you lose your excitement for the season now. You start to look ahead just like how many times am I just gonna be taking Ls? Bengals a seven point favorite at home last night, desperate team, as desperate as you can get against the quarterback who's never thrown a touchdown pass in the NFL and then all he did it felt like was throw touchdowns on you or run them and you're a touchdown favorite at home. Nine or six and a half points, bucks, six and a half points, Brown, six and a half points, Raiders, five points, all favorites, all take the L. Like how do you, we might as well be flipping coins in here for the teams we're picking for a survivor. I was thinking about it today. - I know. - I woke up and I was like, should I just leave this up to, 'cause what do I know? - Just draw names out of a hat. - That's a team I'm taking. - Yeah. - I guess I wouldn't bet on Carolina, there's a handful of teams I just wouldn't, but going against them is not tried in three right now 'cause they can wake up and beat somebody. I think Jayden Daniels is fun to watch. That's part of the good news. And then the other part of the good news is I could see Washington beating the Cowboys quite easily. - Yeah. - You know, I have to consider that maybe, I don't know, maybe six wins is in play. - The Cowboys? - Yeah, maybe a, you know. I was on dowscalboys.com today with the, the break. We had to do our picks, pick the Giants. - I like what you do in there. - You should pick the Giants for me to have a survivor. Then I know I'll be good for Friday. At least this week. - You know what? I think it's survivor. It's got to the point where I'm gonna get down to week 16 and I'm gonna have to, 'cause I'm gonna have to do every one of the payoffs. I'm just gonna hand you guys each $100 bill. - Yeah, when it's all set in time to now. - It's like, I'm so tired of like-- You're beating in batter, long season. - I can't do this anymore here. Here's $500, just get out of my life. - The attrition of the season has really taken its toll on you. - Yeah, but no, I picked the Giants to win. - What was your score? - 26, 23. - If the Giants win that, I mean, that's just, I know it sucks, but we know this season's not going anywhere. You're picking inside the top 10 maybe. You can start thinking about getting a real blue chip player or a guy that could dominate for you. Absolutely, in the top 10, you're getting the best guard if that's what you need to do. I don't know if they would, but it looks like they got another year on the hook with Terence Steele, but a great tackle, great corner, great wide receiver. That's, I can't believe we're talking about that. We got 14 games to go, but that's as good as you can spin it. - Yeah, the running joke in the Twitter world with my group is that when they lose like they lost the other day, it's when are we firing up the draft show? - They lose to the Giants like you're picking them too. I'm firing up the draft show. - You're going to start early. You're going to go, I'll start scanning 'cause this thing's over. - You guys should send a message a Monday. You should come in and do a draft show, not even do whatever your normal content is. That's the message you should be sending. - Just go ahead and do that. - I mean, are you kidding me, lose to the Giants? - You know what, I know we'll get into them today. Their skills legit. Now they got, you know, adding the runner. - Well, they have a super human. It feels like a wide receiver. Do they have any of the other common factors that beat the Cowboys? I mean, what were you thinking? - Well, I was thinking that their ability to, with Singletary to run the ball, the quarterback runs the ball. - Yeah. - You know, you get a situation where last two weeks, what have you done? The opposing quarterback hasn't had to throw the ball at all. - Now, what about their defense though? The Cowboys have blown up points against them over the years. - Yeah, but you trust Mike McCarthy's first 15 plays to get you anything going? You're going in the right direction. You might be down 14 to nothing before you get to the seventh play. - Yes, you're on. - It's worked for seasons. I mean, I can bring up the scores of what they've done to them. - I'm like, sure. - Their offense doesn't work against good defenses, but it gets the Giants. - Yeah, I trust it. - Exactly, it's the Giants. - The Giants, it's just the Giants. - The Giants have a little, legitimately though, you know, Thibodeau has gotten better. Burns is going in, you know, BB playing against that monster inside. - Dexter Lawrence, yeah. - It could be a tough, it's gonna be a tough, BB's a good player, but that, I mean, I watch this guy get sack after sack as defensive tackle. They play nickel and all of a sudden he's like, oh wow, look at him compress the pocket there. Like the center for the Browns. I mean, my gosh, that guy had no shot. So I don't know, Dallas has got a lot of issues. And I don't know if all of a sudden in five days, everything's going to be all hunky doing it. - No, I like it. I mean, they got to go on the road. They're one of the worst teams in football. I just don't know where that is. Is that 24th, is that 28th? - I mean, until you prove to me that you could stop the run and you could get out of your first 15 plays and drive the ball again and not be massively behind by halftime, I'm gonna pick the opponents every single time now. - And the other part of it is you can't run and they know it. You know, there's no running from it. There's no hiding from it. And you can't overwhelm them in other parts of the game like you've been able to in the past. So I just think they're incredibly beatable. If the Giants can do it, I will not be surprised that the commanders could do it. Now, I mean, we'd get really excited about where they could end up picking at the end of this season and, you know, maybe get the kind of wholesale changes. And then you hope, do you think there's any way if they do turn over their coaching staff, they could get somebody more modern, you know? Like, could you, like, I mean, get out, you have to get out of Jerry's cabinet where he likes to go, you know, consult with the crusties and get somebody that's been to a Super Bowl before and think of, you know, young coordinator. Look at Detroit, Houston, New Orleans. I mean, there's a handful of them out there, possibly. And we've talked about it so much. Like, it's a big narrative right now. It's not one of those things that, like, just the film guys or the analytic guys are like saying, "Hey, look at how good motion works." It's out there now in a big way. I don't know. Maybe the Jones boys would actually, you know, have the light bulb come on this time around. - Well, if he thinks the one thing we know is they will make a change if the team quits on the coach. 'Cause we've seen that happen. That's the only time. - Oh, yeah, yeah. - That's the only time. Now, you know, does that give them enough time to audition Bones Fossil or audition Al Harris, you know, much like they did with Garrett? And then, but it also gives them the opportunity. And I'm sure Jerry will be consulting with Bill Belichick and talking to him and can Stephen and Jerry, or can Stephen and Will, I keep saying this. I don't think they necessarily want Bill Belichick walking through that door, but Jerry might sure want him walking through that door. - Yeah, at some point, somebody's got to get uncomfortable in there, you know? - Yeah, yeah. I would bet on it being somebody more like Belichick, - Me too. - than a young guy who kind of breaks the mold. But, you know, there's a chance. - Well, somebody that's been a head coach before. - Yeah. - I would be, one, I'd be stunned if they lose to the Giants. I'm just not, I don't see that happening. I think they're going to be just fine. And maybe they went ugly and maybe they just are really bad, which could be true. They'll find a way. The Giants, I don't think are a very competent team either. Like I saw Daniel Jones, we saw it two years ago on the opener, was running. First drive, they go all the way down the field. Cowboys stiffen up, they get the blocked field goal, return for touchdown. - Yeah. - They stop. Like the Giants are a team that just shoots themselves in the foot pretty regularly. So I think they'll be okay, but overall, yeah, I mean, I hear what you're saying, but Jerry's making the final say. So I don't, I would be stunned if they went somebody that doesn't already have an established head coaching resume. - Agreed. - And got a sexy name like Ben Johnson or whatever guy you want to throw out there. - Yeah, 'cause he doesn't want to, he doesn't want somebody learning on the job or whatever. - You know, what you have to do is that now more than ever. - You better find a way to help your quarterback. And that's the first question that they need to ask. - There you go. - If you're the head coach, are you the primary play caller? Who's your offensive coordinator if you're not the primary play caller? You know, what's your background on, you know, how do you feel about, you know, you had to ask them a bunch of questions about how they feel about your offense because you're married to a wide receiver, you're married to this quarterback, you're going to be married to some offensive lineman, better figure out some things for your offense. - Yeah, I'd hand it over to Will McClay and Dak. You go, you guys go find a head coach. I want hardworking people who are plugged in. - They do that, then you got a shot of thinking outside the box. - Jerry on the fan this morning asked about bringing up the running back Dalvin Cook. He said, I don't think it's time that you have any real serious roster adjustments in that particular time. I don't think so because of the short week for sure. So we'll have to keep waiting for Dalvin Cook. I'm not sure what they're waiting for exactly, but I just don't think they want to displace anybody that's in there right now. Like Rico has maybe earned the shot. He's the youngest guy, Zeke's a legend. You know, Vaughn's Vaughn. - You can move on from Zeke. Zeke, you know, you've got guys that could take over the role of Zeke, you know. - You don't think he's got Jason Whitten status right now? - Oh, I'm just saying me. - I mean, Snap counts did decrease quite a bit in this last game. - Personally, me personally, I would hand the ball to Hunter Lipke before I'd hand it to Zeke right now. - Totally, dude. - I mean, I'm with you. - If you start to talk about blitz pickups, maybe wheel routes and stuff for Deuce Vaughn, get him involved that way. You don't need to be playing, you don't need to be playing that number 15 anymore. - Well, I mean, you could've made that conclusion at about half time in the first game, but they've continued at, you know, for two games more. - You could've made that conclusion at training camp. - Yes, you know, but they haven't moved on. I just, I think there's favoritism. And, you know, this is what happens when your organization as a course of how they go about business doesn't put winning first. You know, weird symptoms pop up like this where all of a sudden what people want to do 'cause it's comfortable 'cause they know Zeke and they know Vaughn and they know Daddle and then they think they owe it to him. If people are comfortable enough to do that because the demand for winning isn't strong, who knows what else could be going on? That's just laughable right there. You know, if they're serious about getting this thing turned around and, you know, being a viable, balanced offense, you just, you have to get a different runner in here. And the fact that they aren't, I think, you know, makes people stomachs turn because it's not only the fact that you don't have a running back, it's that you don't have a front office that cares enough about winning to move on from guys that they like, you know? They did the same crap with Jason Whitten and, you know, and, you know, I guess we can hope Dalvin Cook's better. Right, Brian, you watched the film a couple weeks back. - Yeah, and I asked somebody about Dalvin Cook and I said, "Hey, is he ready to go?" And he said, "Yeah, there's nothing holding him in back." So yeah, whenever they're ready for the elevation and they can sure do that. But I, to me, there's no question. I take 15 off the field is how I would do it. And 'cause I think everybody else can help you. Now, I'm not taking people off the field I think can help you. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Especially when they talk about Zeke being the past protector that he is, but now we're seeing other guys can do that too. - Yeah, yeah, Dattle can do it. I mean, Hunter Lipke, when they went no huddle, what happened is they started switching Hunter Lipke and Dattle and then, you know, back and forth. Three receivers on, three receivers off. Switch the backs up, you know, stay in, blitz protect, all that stuff. Yeah, there's ways to do this. And they showed it the other day in the end of the third quarter and then through the fourth. I wouldn't be surprised. I mean, Mike McCarthy needs to seriously think about his first 15, maybe not even, just go when no huddle. You know, just come out, just go no huddle and, you know, and just try and get some kind of rhythm with his offense 'cause right now you take the ball and you throw the ball to the flat to Rico Dattle for like a one yard gain. - What do we do? - And you're like going, okay, well, what kind of-- - That's like first in your progression, right? It's like that's the guy, that's the place drawn up to go one yard. - I just, I don't quite understand that. Maybe he's really nervous about his offensive line. - Do you believe what Fav says today, says he has Parkinson's a congressional hearing about the whole deal with him taking money, said he may have had hundreds if not thousands of concussions during his career. - Yep. - Seems like one of those things you could be doing for a sympathy employee here at this point in your deal, especially as the investigators are circulating. But at the same time, wouldn't surprise me if he's got Parkinson's CTE stuff like that. I think a rather high percentage of former players believe they have something neurological wrong with them in one way or two. A lot of them do, but that still doesn't to absolve the fact that you stole from people. - Yeah. - I'm sorry, man, I wear a Super Bowl ring because you thank you so much for everything you've done, but I thought you're a better person than that. - Yeah, that's an all-time one. - And there's a lot of evil people and bad people out there, man, a lot of people steal from others. And that's the unfortunate that that guy was so much a part of my life, and now you look at it and you're like, man, why are you so bad? - Yeah. - And she's the fact that you're asking, like, is this guy maybe looking for sympathy by saying he's got Parkinson's and he maybe doesn't, speaks for itself? 'Cause I would be like, hell no, why would you even lie about that? But then again, when you look at what's happened over the last two years, he's lied about a lot of stuff. - Yeah, he's lost all his credibility. - Is that the last card in the pocket of lies? Like, that's the last thing you have before you just have nothing left like-- - Well, I got Parkinson's. - Is he gonna use that as a defense of why he did what he did? - Yeah, that's messed up. That's probably the card that he's trying to play right there, make people, he was, the man was a great player, and you know, but to do what he did was completely wrong. - Oklahoma's gonna start Frisco Emerson's Michael Hawkins, Jr., verse Auburn, so that's cool, it'll local tie in.

G-bag today coming up in just over six minutes. Here's a, we'll check some sports. - So this from Cowboys PR. This is the first time the Cowboys are playing a road game on three days of rest or fewer every other time. They've played on a Thursday after a Sunday. It's been at home. So every other NFL team has played at least six road games on short rest. This is gonna be the Cowboys first one ever. So they're new for this. Can't feel sorry for them. They're gonna have to figure this one out. But that is pretty interesting. Usually it ends up being Thanksgiving. And then they get a full week and they play the Thursday the next week at home, but didn't get that this year. - I think some owners have kind of stepped up and said, "Hey, what Dallas has this advantage?" You know, they're getting games during Thanksgiving and after Thanksgiving and all that stuff like that. I think the league, the league forever was grateful for them for doing it, playing on Thanksgiving. And now it's like, oh man, they have like a competitive advantage doing this. And so, you know, I think some owners have stepped up and said, "We're not gonna let you do that anymore." - Yeah, the Cowboys had a, I think a wink-wink kind of handshake deal where they were gonna play the Thanksgiving games and, you know, the following Thursday game and it kind of worked, but apparently the end of that is up. And I do think it's a significant deal 'cause being the road team on a Thursday is, I think massive. It has the potential to put you in an energy state where you have your biggest egg of the season laid. - Yeah, I mean, I guess like the best thing is you're playing a divisional opponent. - They usually are. - Earlier with. - They usually, that's what the NFL has done. They're giving that common opponent so the things don't look all crazy, you know, when you're, but sometimes you get some pretty good matchups, but yeah, these Thursday night games have been a little rough for the teams that are the visitors. - Hopefully the Cowboys go in there and they're two and two following this one. - Now we've got the power rankings that are out and ESPN did them with also the biggest issue on offense. Where do you think they put the Cowboys? They aren't down. - They're offensive line? - Just, well, you could, you can give me what you think their biggest issue on offense is, but just overall where they rank in the power. - Oh, they ranked, I'm sorry, I'm not supposed to go both. - Explosive plays, I would say, is the biggest issue. - Oh, there you go, good call. - And then they're probably 20 first. - What, explosive plays? - No, no, no, no, I'm talking about just in their rankings. - No, just in their rankings. - 21 in the power rankings and he thinks the biggest offensive issue is explosive plays. - I think Dallas is probably 23 and I think that the explosive plays makes a lot of sense. Wait, what is, the explosives on defense? Are you saying-- - Oh, give me too many. - Yeah, are you saying the offenses? - Yeah, we're talking about the offense. - Yeah, specifically just the biggest issue on offense. - On offense, my bet. - Yeah. - Running game 25th. - Yeah. Well, Todd Archer does say it's the running back by committee, but I do think the explosive plays are definitely a massive issue as well. - And there's chicken and egg there a little bit. - No doubt. Next gen stats is the Cowboys picking up minus 74 rushing yards over expected through three games. Third worst in the league behind the Bears and Dolphins, which is pretty surprising that the Dolphins are listed there, but I guess they're also dealing with a ton of injuries. In addition, you've got the lack of attempts 'cause they're getting so far behind and that's when the Cowboys for an offense clearly wants you to believe is we're just not being able to run the football enough. So we don't know. I mean, this could be an awesome running game. We just haven't been able to see any of it. - How much optimism do you have with the combination of Dattle and Lippke instead of Zeke and Vaughn? I guess that makes me about it. - That would give, at least you have the ability, the physicality that you get with Lippke. He can make some people miss. And maybe, you know, he's one of those guys that tends to fall forward when he runs. So you could get, you know, you could probably average four, four and a half with him. Maybe a little bit more. He's got a, he's got a kind of a slashing running style for a big guy, but he knows how to hit gaps and make people miss. So I would not have a problem with it. People get on him about the fumble and stuff like that and that hurt against Miami last year. But, you know, he's proven to be more worthy, these games that they've lost the last two, he's actually been a plus player for you when you watch what he does and as many special teams plays as he plays for you as well. I mean, this guy's worth more than anything you have right now. It's a good player. And I mean, that's basically what he did in North Dakota State. He was the running back. I mean, so he's a guy that certainly can do that. Now the Cowboys ranked 16th here. They're down from 14 two spots. They're right ahead of Arizona, the Rams, and they actually had Washington at 19. I think I would definitely put the commanders over the Cowboys right now. Watching Jaden Daniels last night, I'm like, how the hell are the Cowboys going to stop him? I don't think they were. - Yeah. And RG three type game again, like they're going to get their ass kicked by Washington. Do they play on Thanksgiving in this year? Cause this is going to haunt me. - Oh, wow. Yeah, that's going to be, that's going to ruin a holiday, isn't it? - Yeah, I think they do. Efforting. - Yeah, I've got, I've got like the pocket schedule. How about that? - Oh, the pocket schedule. I love that pocket schedule. - It looks like to me, the ad commanders on the 24th, that's a Sunday. - Okay. So the Sunday before things you play, and then you got them at home on the last game of the year. - Ooh, okay. All right. So at least you don't have to go to Washington on the last game of the season, you get them in our house this year, but that might not end up being any better. - Fast turf, leg games in the season. Chances are hard, not that I'm rooting for it, but he'll be hurt. - Yeah. - Okay, you got hit pretty good last night, didn't he? - Okay, did you see it a lot? - Hey, that was the story on him. He did slide a couple of. - And Dan Quinn was so happy, he was cheering. He's like, that's my guy, good job. He just needs to get that down. If he can slide, this kid's going to be special, but I just hate the team he plays for so much. I'm like, I'm not rooting for that by any means, but if you just missed the cowboy games, I wouldn't be upset about it. - Just think about Dan Snyder, and think about how cool it is for every time the commanders win, or Jayden Daniels does something cool. It's kind of like sticking it to Dan Snyder. - Stick it to Dan. - There's something, that's just silver lining. I'm trying to go glass half full here. - No, I like that. - If this is a commander's pop-up year. - I like that. - I mean, he's making third down throws at the sticks. He's making the ball over the top to McLaurin. - Before he had it. He's going down, he's got a chance to get off the field. Here you go. Jayden Daniels, boom. Ice in his veins. No problem. - I thought Austin Eckler being on their team is pretty good. - Yeah, that's another one. - The game hot. Ryan Robinson, Jr. is running the ball. Well, that offensive line, I mean, it seemed like he had all day to throw. - Yeah. - I don't know if that was maybe... - The Bengals got no pass rush, but. - Yeah, I mean, it's probably a combination of Cincinnati's not very good, but the offensive line's playing better than we thought they were. - Well said, that's bad. - Time now for the G bag of the day. Into the Pimp car. - Yeah. - And here's what he says. - Yeah, what's going on? Everything and everybody's. - Oh. - Sisters, y'all all right? Fellas, how are you doing? - I'm doing the loop. - All right, all right. - Copium. - Copium? - Yep. - Copium Tuesday. - Is it? - Yeah. - Okay. I feel you, dog. - Got a joke about it, you know? - I feel you, you know. - I feel you. - I feel you. - You gotta do what you gotta do. - Yep. - This way you can pay the big bucks, dog. - That's right. - All right. Our winner right here for day two is Clyde Leonard. - Clyde Leonard. - The NBA basketball player with the funny laugh. He was recording some skateboarder. Now who is it? You found out who the skateboarder was there, Dawson. - Yeah, I think he's that Brazilian dude. Let me get, I'll get back over here again. - Brazilian. - Tiago. - Tiago or something like that. - Get some Brazilian music for the Brazilian. - There we go. All right, yeah. He was recording the Brazilian skateboarder and jump over a table at a park and Kawhi Leonard was very excited about it. You can tell. - Hey. - Hey. - Hey guy. - Hey guy. - Look at him. - Look good. (laughing) - There you go. So in a row, that's what, that's how you finish it. (laughing) - That's how you finish it. - That's when the marketing person's like, okay, he's gonna skateboard and he's gonna jump over this picnic table and just be excited about it. (laughing) But you don't want to be fake. (laughing) - Hey. - I just like how you use all of this breath. - That guy. You use all of this breath, man. - That self fade out there at the end is just fantastic. - Jason Kelsey. - I'm pretty sure he was about two or three beers deep. He was on Monday, at all times, right? - Yeah. - He was on Monday night countdown with Scott van Pelt, who looks kind of weird when you see a man night after the games. - Yeah. - You're like, yeah, what's going on with this guy? This ain't ever speckly, Scott. - He's cool. - Yeah. - I like him. - Yeah, but he's strange to look at. - Yeah. - All right. - Hey, hey, hey. Ryan Clark was not feeling it. Here we go. - Jason, when you start pushing them, when you start pushing them and they can't stop you, that has to be the most-- - You did not have that asking the question like that. - Yeah. - I'm just asking. - When he was smiling-- - There's nothing more love than pushing it on another grown man and just taking it over. Yes, Scott. You are absolutely correct. - So that's-- - Yeah. There is no greater feeling than when you're taking over the line of scrimmage and it all fits a line. - That's it, huh? - Yeah. That's how-- - It's been fun watching the last couple of weeks. - Yeah, guys. - This might be the last one for me. - Yeah. (laughing) - Oh, boy. - He's Jamie Foxx in there, Jerry Jones. (laughing) - That's it for me. I think I realized where I'm at now. - I'm here now. - All right, let's see here. - Hall of Fame of Chris Arnold. You guys played this yesterday. It was in the pre-pre-game for the Dallas Cowboys. - Here on 105 through the fan. Chris gave a pre-game update on Jordan Love. - Yeah. - Okay. - There's games kicking off right now. So let me go ahead and get the toll on some of these inactives and updates, active and inactive. Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is not going to come on the field and warm up. Okay. - It's good for him. - It's good for everybody. - That's good for everybody. - We're all winning on Sunday and Green Bay. - We're turning to the field. How about that? Is that a better way to put it? - That's a better way. (laughing) - You learned from DeShawn Watson's mistake, you know, you deserve others. - It is Sunday. (laughing) - I love when we saw C.E. last night, he came running with a full explanation. - Oh yeah, he did. (laughing) - It smeared right here on the paper as well. He was trying to shoot with you. When the playoffs, they need a new printer cartridge in there. (laughing) That's what it is, the new printer cartridge. I couldn't read that right part right there. All right, let's go to Sage Steel. - Sage Steel, she had airy spears on her show. She asked him what was his favorite, I guess, impersonation he can do or his best or whatever. I don't know, here we go. - What's your best impersonation? - No, your favorite. - Anything that's new, feels like a new child. But I love Tony Soprano. 'Cause one, it's a white guy, Italian, and nobody expects you to do that. Ask me a question. Tony, what did you do with the body? - It's a f***ing matter when I do it with the f***ing body. All the guys are gonna f*** bury it. She'll push the question for her. They don't have f***ing position. I'm gonna get into the jersey. I run a f***ing underwash. I'm gonna do an Italian f***ing shack. I'm gonna bury it behind a f***ing about a bigger touch of matter. It goes with all the f***ing shagors. - Oh my God. (buzzer buzzing) I'm watching your mouth when you do it. Is that the key? - Yeah, like I said, notes. Tony is ish. Talk about sister jaddish. Uncle Junior's got a f***ing shag. - That's all right. - You gotta have that metal at AHA. We'll go down to all of your assubios. All of your f***ing bunkers. He's got the matter got one to go f***ing grave. - What? - That's a different language you just spoke. (laughing) - That's good. - Oh, wow. I really wanna go watch "The Sopranos" now. - Gosh, you've seen it, right? - Yeah, yeah. - It's so damn good. - Rest in peace, James Gandolfi. - His sister, Janice. Maybe one of your sister's character. - History, my gosh, Janice. - Yeah. - This monster. - We have a dinner that night too, right? - Yeah. - James Gandolfi said he had a wiper of a dinner. - Yeah, like swimming and that was it. - Oh, really? - Yeah. - So don't go swimming after you. - Careful, bro. You gotta be careful out of here, man. (laughing) - What do you say, Lucius? Time to vote? - Sure, buddy. - Is it the champ Kawhi Leonard? It's a fun guy watching skateboarders. Is it Mr. Two-Drink, minimum Jason Kelsey, there with SVP. SVP is a unique dude. You gotta be to survive that ESPN firing squad every year. They come after you. They have free single years, bro. Okay, SVP, you got to stay in. - Five in the game, two. He pops up at night. You're like, oh, there he's still there. - I moved to Washington. I'm still here. (laughing) - Hey, good for you, doll. - He's definitely got some Adam Silverman's game. (laughing) - Is it the three-time Hall of Famer, CA, talking about Jordan Love not arriving to the destination? Or is it Sage Steele with comedian Ari Spears? They're asked about his best impersonation, and that's my vote, Chief. Same here, man, that was awesome. - Pleasure. - Oh, Kawhi Leonard. - Well, Chuck? - I'll go with Tony Soprano impersonation. - Brian. - It is. - One for Chris Arnold. - Biascore, three to one to one, and your new G-bag-of-the-day champion, it's comedian Ari Spears there on the Sage Steele podcast. - Okay, when we come back, G-bag-nation, Chief, where are you taking us? - College football, Tuesday, Darty. What is in store? Well, we have a cleat melting conditions, and of course, your boomer sooner sad, stat of the day next year in the nation. - Thank you, Lucius. Go to @G-bag-nation on X. You will get the G-bag-nation's 2024 tour-day DFW schedule, which is Saturday. We're bringing G-bag-nation flags to you for free. Just meet us at one of the Whataburger locations on the schedule, and we'll see you coming up this weekend. Here's the Chief. Okay, so yesterday, the boomer sooner, Carter Freeman, sad, stat of the day, was Jackson Arnold, the starting quarterback, or now former starting quarterback for the Sooners, had a 1.3 QBR before leaving the game on Saturday night in Norman versus Tennessee, and that means he gave his team a 1.3% chance to win that football game. Now they turn it over to Michael Sadie Hawkins, junior, very excited for that kid, but today's boomer, Sumer, sad, stat of the day comes from Joe Masato, and he informed the football public that Brent Venables, head coach for OU, has more losses at OU in 30 games coached than Lincoln Riley had in his 65 games, that he was the head coach there. So, Venables has already lost 11 of his 30 games. Lincoln Riley lost 10 of his 65 games. That he was a head coach there. Now I liked the Carter Freeman unbiased, of course, OU spin zone, where he was like, yeah, Lincoln benefited from Bob Stoops' players, and then it started to peter out on him a little bit. And then now, Venables is having to clean up the Lincoln Riley mess. So, now take that for what you will. I just thought this stat was interesting. My goodness, Venables already losing more games at OU in less than half the amount of games that Lincoln Riley was coaching there. So, it's just a, it's a tough deal right now. - Wow, that's a little opium on another level if I've ever heard it. - From OLE, see-free. - Yeah, yeah, I'm just finally getting it figured out here. It's taking me a while to clean up the successful guys mess that he left me. (laughing) - I thought it was really impressive, man. It was a good PR move. - He took all the good players in the transfer portal with him, come on. - It's a fan. - Yeah, there's a transfer portal. If you're a coach that's got something to you, you get in there and you bring guys and you start winning pretty dang quick. I don't know. I think at this point in college football, at least the way it's structured now, if you haven't won in two seasons, you're not gonna win enough. It's time to move on. - Well, give Carter a break here, man. He just got a beat down, his quarterbacks now getting benched. He's got Kirk Herb Street calling his players pathetic for doing unethical fake injury stuff in the middle of the game to help slow things down a little bit defensively. And then you also have Texas as the number one team in the country and right now projected to beat Bama in the Nadi according to ESPN's latest bull projections. So it's just a tough day to be a Carter. - Oh, it's a tough spot, yeah. I mean, nobody wants to be a fan in denial about your program, you know, maybe have seen its best days behind you, you know? And now you're looking for a new catalyst. You know, you don't want to go the way of USC post Pete Carroll. That's what it's starting to look like. - Well, I think the funniest thing from college football was the fact that Louisiana men row being down 48 with two minutes to go was doing flea flickers. And of course, throwing interceptions when doing it, but that is just bravo to Louisiana men row pulling out all the stops. - You work on them all week at practice. You might as well throw them in there, you know? - Use it in the game. - You just, you know, that way the following week, Louisiana Tech's got to work on them. - You know what I'm saying? - I love it, yeah. - Anybody they play, yeah. Now we gotta work on flea flickers. - Put it on tape, baby, put it on tape. That was great. We also have a couple other, I saw this from Cole Kublick. Could you guys guess this here? College football has one program to not have allowed a touchdown this season. One program has not even given up a touchdown. - Appalachia State. - It's actually even-- - Isn't one program? - Oh, yeah. It's Georgia. Wow. - Georgia hasn't given up a touchdown, yeah. - Because, yeah, they could Tucky kick all field goals. - That's 12, yeah. - School goal parties. - That is unbelievable. - Pretty impressive. Not that their schedule has been anything super nuts at this time. - Got to get a little crazy this weekend. - About to, yeah, about to get real crazy. - Texas coming up. - I'm excited about this one, man. And then how about Garrett Nussmeyer, your guy over there? - Oh, it's in you. - 113 completions, the most through four games in LSU football history. So he's throwing it around a little bit. - He has played Marcus. - He has played well. - Dude, did you guys see that it was 160 degrees on the turf there at Boone Pickens on Saturday? - It looked hot. I'm like, I mean, Gundy, I thought it was going to melt. - Yeah. - How did these guys feed them cash fire? - Does he wear an all black outfit where he was melting? - I've heard like 125 on the turf. - 160. - 160. - How long was it up there? - How's that even happened? - I think that the real temp at kickoff was 104 degrees, but there's-- - There's me or Chris going on it? - I'm like, that shouldn't be, these guys are literally baking on the field. - That turf should be banned. If it's 104 and the turf goes to 160. - What's going on with your turf over there? - That's like, isn't that going to give you burns when you slide? Put your hand down? - I'll tell you that. - Yeah, I think you're at the soles of your feet. I feel like-- - Absolutely, yeah. - That pickle juice game against the Eagles was the hottest I ever remembered. Texas stadium, that thing. - You just feel the heat. - It was, I don't know if it was 160, but it might have been close. It might have been close. - That's crazy. - How hot that day was. - Well, I'll tell you what else was crazy over the college football weekend was USC, taking that L with Michigan there and Michigan just running the ball the whole time. - Michigan, Michigan, would they have? How many, 30 yards passing or something like that? - It was 22 net yards passing on the day and it was just a bunch, a bunch of Donovan Edwards and Mullings, I mean, they got some runners and they just, yeah, Orgy was definitely getting it done on the ground. That's his nature, ground and pound. So that's what they did at the big house, USC. That stings, dude. - That does. - I mean, when a team's beating you, that's like what the Packers are doing with Malik Willis right now. It's like, we're really not trying to throw on you too much, especially in that first game with Malik Willis. We kind of have a hand tied behind our back here. Everybody knows it, but we're just going to run on you to victory. And that's tough, man. And you see it in college football. I mean, the Hurricanes and they're playing some good ball right now. They haven't really played anybody. They won't play anybody, but Cam Ward seems to be the real deal and he has-- - He's got a Washington state. - Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, this is one of those, this is kind of like a Jaden Daniels, like five years. - Yeah. - And transfer and-- - He's played well. - He's played really well for them. And he's literally doing the thing where he's pointing. Who else was it that we, this was like a Larry Bird thing where he would tell you what was going to happen and what he was going to do to you before he actually did it. Okay, I'm going to spin left and I'm going to get the bucket on you. Cam Ward is doing that. We're at the snap. He's at the line of scrimmage and he's pointing to the defense where they're running the ball touchdown. - That's the type of cocky confidence that the hurricanes have now. - We got to remember though-- - If the U is in back, if it wasn't before, it certainly is now. If you're doing that type of, I mean-- - Confidence. - Confidence right there to the room. Back in the top 10, that's wonderful. - His coach will give away a game, you know? - Yeah, Mario Christian will come off. - Probably two games. - He will supposed to kneel the ball and he'll try and run it or something, something crazy. - They're scheduled so easy. - There's not a more fun sideline in sport when Miami's got it going on. - Oh yeah? - I love it. - It's good for coach football. - Yes, definitely, and they'll be, I mean, the ACC is down. Miami's got a super easy schedule. They're flashy, it'll be fun to see how they get going here with the playoff stuff. They're definitely performing well right now. I think Tennessee's been really awesome. What do you guys have any early feelings with Bama in Georgia this weekend? Or what do you want to say about Tennessee? - I'll say this about Tennessee. I feel like that there, you know, people, I think there would have been bound five or six now with the, in the latest polls. That would be a team I think is going to compete for the national championship. I think they got the right, I think they got the right mix, the quarterback, the young quarterback, the way they run the ball, the defense. That team looks like they've got the right demeanor to win this thing. - I'm with you. It seems like they've developed a bit of a counter punch as it pertains to the more physicality. - Their coach is kind of a no, like, he doesn't have time for your feelings guy. He's pretty, you know, he's like, "Hey, I appreciate the kids playing hard." You know, they knew this was important to me, but you know, he didn't have time for your feelings. He's just, he's developed a pretty stout program there with those kids. They could play fast, they could beat you up. - Yeah. - They could play really well on defense. - Trenches are real and that quarterback is real, dude. He makes some throws, you're like, "Wow." Yeah, he's all that he was cracked up to be. Bleephole of the week, we give it to once again in college football, Hugh Fries, his Auburn Tigers lose once again, this time at home by 10 to Arkansas. The quote from Hugh Fries here is, "I mean no offense to Arkansas." That's how he starts, boys. - Uh oh. I love Sam Pittman. He wants to get that out of the way first. - No disrespect, but that was embarrassing. - This is the Gavin Dawson of coaches. What the hell did we lose to that team? - He says, "I hope he wins the rest of his games." - Yeah. - But the hard truth is if we play them nine more times, we beat them nine times. - Oh, I like it. Give him no credit for the win. - After losing by 10 at home. - That's Hugh Fries for you, ladies and gentlemen. - I love it. Thank you, chief. - Yes, sir. - Wolf Chuck's NFL news today is coming up next Zachary what's in store. All kinds of history was made last night. Zach Taylor not happy with this DB.
