C
403 in the big city. Don Han and Rosenberg with you until six. Then it's Mets, Phillies, which lost a little bit of its drama.
- [00:54]
A
You're seven back. There's 19 to go.
- [00:56]
B
Less.
- [00:56]
C
One of the kids are pitching. I got no movement. Sproul looked good last night. Yesterday. It's amazing what happens on Sunday to baseball. It's so important. You're following it every day.
- [01:09]
A
Yep.
- [01:10]
C
And then football happens and it's like, oh, oh, oh. Let me check the Mets.
- [01:14]
A
Quickly, second screen. It's so kid goes, no. Hit five and a third and you're not even. You didn't watch any of it live. It's because you had to watch the Giants not score.
- [01:23]
B
Yep.
- [01:23]
A
Think about that decision you made.
- [01:25]
B
That's you.
- [01:26]
C
Well, I made a decision for our listeners. And it's also, here's, here's what's sad when I, when my son is going through Marco is what I went through when I was going on eight. It was just 75, 76. Giants were awful.
- [01:40]
A
Yeah.
- [01:41]
C
You know, but I had nothing else to do. I sat there and watched the game with my dad. We only had like, you know, seven channels to work with, you know, I wasn't going to go play in my room. That's why they told you not to stick forks in electrical outlets. Because when you're a kid, you might do it because there's nothing else to do.
- [01:56]
A
Yeah.
- [01:57]
C
You know, what, was I gonna play a board game, Play Monopoly by myself? David was too young, you know. So you sat there, you watched the game with your dad. My son's got a billion things to do, so he's playing football on the iPad with his friends.
- [02:10]
B
Like, I know.
- [02:11]
A
Yeah.
- [02:12]
C
I'm like, let's watch some real football.
- [02:14]
B
Real football.
- [02:16]
C
Whatever. And at one point during the game, he looks at me, dad, why the Giants? And I'm sure I asked that to my dad back in 75. That question, why the Giants?
- [02:28]
A
That's a very mat.
- [02:29]
C
He goes to school with Eagle fans. The Eagles win. He didn't. His second grade teacher's an Eagle fan. He did not get homework over the weekend because the Eagles won.
- [02:41]
B
Right. I like that.
- [02:42]
C
So you. So he's going to be an Eagle fan. His best friend's an Eagle fan. The teacher's not giving homework when the Eagles win. It's a business decision for the kid. And the Giants aren't scoring touchdowns. The Mets score more runs than the Giants score points. The kids. He's all about the entertainment. He's not even eight. He just wants to enjoy himself. I can't blame him. I didn't have any choices. I watched the Giants, and I became a Giant fan. So I tried to tell him at breakfast this morning. I'm like, listen, I was in the same place. Next thing you know, they win a Super Bowl. And he goes, how old were you when they won the super bowl? Oh, boy. 18.
- [03:15]
A
Oh, geez.
- [03:16]
C
So I'm telling them, you might have to wait a decade. Yeah, I think he's good. I had no choice.
- [03:22]
B
At his age, like, to me, you tell me a decade. All right, cool. I can handle that. At his age, that's a long forever. It's. It's not even a. Meanwhile, Maya has moved to 2 and 1. As a commander's fan, that's all we do is win, win, win, win, win.
- [03:36]
C
You better hope that when she finally starts to understand that they're still good, because she'll be the same way.
- [03:41]
B
Oh, well, by the way, that's a great point. By the time she's really. They could. It could be over.
- [03:44]
C
What does she care to win the super bowl when she's 2?
- [03:46]
B
Well, guess what? Well, she'll. She'll care now.
- [03:50]
C
Well, you'd have to go back and show her now the 10 if they're like 7.
- [03:53]
B
But do you guys agree? We're going to get to all these phone calls right now, but do you guys agree? From my standpoint, I watched about four plays yesterday of Daniels, and I went. It feels like he just feels like he is who we think he is.
- [04:06]
A
He's fine, he's fine. He's fine. There's no sophomore. Anything going on there. He's fine. His full control.
- [04:12]
B
His, like, mental. I've never seen a, like, a better player play that even at every Moment he's not breathing.
- [04:19]
A
How about after the game, Aaron asks him about Debo and he goes to, well, you know, we didn't play. We weren't. We made mistakes. We got to clean up. And then she asked him again, well, I gotta ask you about Debo and that run he went on. And once again, he gives you a team answer. He's like, nah, we're not doing that because we've got things we gotta get back. Yeah, we won this game, but we don't like the way we won this game. That's very mature. And it shows you already where it's mature.
- [04:45]
C
And also tells you that they were playing a horse garbage team and he knew it and they should have been smacking the team around and didn't. And it's. And it's going to get better. Yeah, because their games are going to get a lot harder starting Thursday.
- [04:58]
B
The packers commander Thursday night.
- [05:00]
C
So much to get into. We'll have an NFL binge coming up at 430. Recap week number one. Let's go to the busy phones. Greg and Smithtown. You get us started off here on Don Highland.
- [05:10]
B
Rosenberg.
- [05:11]
C
What's up.
- [05:13]
D
Don Allen. Peter, how are you guys?
- [05:15]
B
Good.
- [05:15]
A
What's up?
- [05:18]
D
No, real quick.
- [05:18]
A
I kind of agreed.
- [05:20]
B
From what I saw, I don't think.
- [05:21]
D
It was a Russell Wilson problem.
- [05:23]
A
I think it was a quarterback problem.
- [05:26]
D
Where just any quarterback would have struggled with that offensive line. But I do think you've got to ask the question, right? So I'm thinking about it. If Gable had an extension for another two years, let's say, how would you navigate that dart quarterback situation? And the answer to that question should be how you navigate the dart situation. Unfortunately, that's not realistic, but I think that's how you have to look at it. But I also think that as much as we can talk about if you put Dart in, could that ruin him?
- [05:54]
A
Could that stunt him?
- [05:56]
D
I also think that he's shown that he has the moxie that what would.
- [06:00]
A
Happen if he could go in and.
- [06:01]
D
Produce or even win a game that was just elevated?
- [06:06]
C
But you don't know because here's the thing, Gray, I'm with you, but don't we see every year how meaningless preseason is? So that means the positive, too. Oh, the jets couldn't do anything in the preseason look like a joke. Then they go out there and score 32 points. So isn't it possible that Dart was taking advantage of another team that didn't care? He cared because he wanted to be able to elevate his self on the roster. So all of a sudden, the regular season hits and it's a completely different animal and he's overwhelmed. Then what do you do? Bench him. Now you're messing with his confidence. You got to do the right thing. And he made a great point.
- [06:41]
D
You.
- [06:41]
C
If Dable's got another two years on his contract, he's not playing this kid. But. But. And that's the way he's got to look at it. What's good for the team, what's good for the kid, not what's good for Dable. That's why it's got to be an organizational decision.
- [06:53]
A
That's what it will be. Quickly, can I read you what Darius Slayton just said about this whole thing, too? Do you want to hear whether veteran wide receiver thinks everybody pushing for. And it's. It's copy. So I don't think we have audio of it, but this is from Tom Rocket, Newsday.
- [07:10]
B
We will have audio.
- [07:11]
C
We will, but, you know. Well, I'll just give you the promise.
- [07:14]
A
He just said. He just basically said that the history of football, it hasn't always served people well to just throw people into the fire. I know that. I wouldn't want to be thrown into the fire like that. Obviously, Jackson believes in himself and he obviously believes he's a good football player. We believe he's a good football player. But at the same time, this league is hard. This league is tough. You see players get chewed up and spit out all the time by this league, which is something I would never want to have happen to him. As far as all that goes, Dabel and said, russ is our starter. Russ is our starter for however long. He's going to play good ball. We're going to play good ball as an offense. And whenever Jackson's time comes, it comes. See, the other. The other way you go to change the quarterback, especially to the younger quarterback, is when players like him and others start kind of going, you know, yeah, you know, I think Dart could do it if they gave him a chance. You know what I mean? He's making it clear like, guys, let's not rush this. Let's not force this kid into it right now. That speaks volumes about what that locker room thinks at this moment in time, which is why, once again, I understand there's a lot of people that are pushing for Dart to start. You understand it's too soon.
- [08:21]
C
And also, when you look at it, just that quote. And also, I don't want to make too much of it, but, you know, neighbors, not high Fiving people is that they're not losing faith in their quarterback. They might be losing faith in their coach.
- [08:34]
A
Bang.
- [08:35]
C
Let's go to Mike in Palm Springs. You're on espn, New York. What's up, Mike?
- [08:39]
D
Hey, good afternoon.
- [08:41]
C
How's it. How's it out there?
- [08:43]
D
Oh, it's 98 and sunny, so we're doing all right. Two points first. Alan, I got. Dude, I love you, man. Your Knicks casting, your, your, your overall media talent. I love you on espn, but I think you're being a little disingenuous. And I'm a Giants fan, but I'm going to speak from an outside perspective on the chess and the Pittsburgh game. With Rodgers doing what he did, you needed to win that game. You couldn't lose that game against that guy, not after what he did to your team. And you had many opportunities to take that game. And this is coming from a loser Giants fan.
- [09:22]
A
Okay, I'm trying to figure out what you mean by. No, no, I understand. And look, I agree with you that, you know, again, the Guy kicked a 60 yard field goal, but you gotta do whatever it takes to win that game because it's a home game first. It's a season opener and you were winning by nine points. The game is in your grasp. So Rogers is not that high on my list. He's not that high. He's not that high on my list of priorities when it comes to why you want to win the game. That's what I'm saying. That's not my first priority. He was somebody else's player. He's not Aaron Glenn's player. Aaron Glenn said, I don't want him.
- [09:59]
B
Right.
- [10:00]
D
I got you. But you. All you needed to know about that game was. And it messed me up. And I'm not even a Jets fan. When they interviewed him and he had that little S eating grin on his face.
- [10:10]
A
Oh, he did.
- [10:11]
D
And he stood and he put on business. And I said, oh, my God, this guy won't go away. And I. I'm just saying I felt bad.
- [10:18]
A
You got, you got the, you got the audio of what he said, right? I didn't find anything that egregious. It was just Aaron being Aaron. Yeah.
- [10:24]
B
I mean, which is annoy. When he's not your quarterback, it's immediately annoying.
- [10:28]
C
Yeah, it was nice to win, especially hearing some of the cat calls out there and the boobirds. I'm not sensitive about that. I expected that. You know, I kind of like that. But there were probably people in the organization didn't think I could play anymore. So it was nice to remind those.
- [10:41]
B
People that I still can't be mad at that, though.
- [10:44]
C
I. I can't. How can you be mad with it? How?
- [10:46]
B
Honestly, they literally said, we have no interest in you. How did you not feel that way?
- [10:50]
C
They basically got fired.
- [10:52]
A
And he acknowledged Brian Costello asking the question about how it was Glenn who brought you in here and told you we don't need you. Right? And he's like, he acknowledged, like, yeah, that did happen. So of course. But if you're Aaron Glenn, that's not even near the top of the priority of why I want to win this game.
- [11:06]
B
Here's the thing.
- [11:06]
A
Oh, I gotta beat Aaron Rodgers.
- [11:08]
C
But the players, the most of the players don't care. Maybe Garrett Wilson wanted to stick it to him, but what he's supposed to do, he did what he could on the offensive side of the ball.
- [11:16]
A
He had a handful of Jalen Ramsey.
- [11:18]
C
The deal is, is that this is the long term. We want to find out if you got a coach. Yes. You want to find out if you got a quarterback post Aaron Rodgers. All right, that's the past. Oh, he had his moment. That's it. Steelers in a different situation. The jets are in. You're trying to, you're thinking about the long term thing, man. So don't get caught up in that. Focus on a Bills team, move on that pulled one out of there, you know what, yesterday, and you've always kind of played them well and just try to get to, try to get to one on one feel beatable.
- [11:45]
A
Don. Well, I know they made a miraculous comeback last night because the Ravens always give you game back. But watching that game and the way they were getting gashed by the run.
- [11:54]
C
So that, that's going to be your focus. All right. Rogers had his moment. Great. You move on. Organization moved on. Fans got to move on, too. Anthony in the Bronx. Ryan, ESPN New York. What's up, Anthony? Anthony, you got to turn that radio down, buddy. All right, we'll try again another day in Bridgeport.
- [12:12]
A
Step up. It's a football Monday.
- [12:16]
C
What's up, D?
- [12:17]
D
What's going on, fellas? Love you guys, man.
- [12:21]
B
Thanks, man.
- [12:21]
C
Thanks.
- [12:22]
D
Listen to you guys all day. Pretty. My, my radio station stays on you guys from 8:00 in the morning until 7:00'. Clock. Yeah, I was at the game yesterday. I was at the game yesterday. My dad's a Steelers fan. My dad's, my uncle's a Jets fan. I just wanted to say the environment yesterday was crazy, man. The first game is no first Sunday of the season. It was awesome. I'm a Ravens fan, you know, so I was just at the game, you know, just, you know, partaking in the festivities because I love sports, I love football, and I just want to say that was a great game. Like, that was probably. That was one of the best jets games I've been to.
- [12:58]
B
That is true.
- [12:58]
C
I, I don't, I don't know. It's good for you because you're a Ravens fan. I, I'm not expecting Jet fans to jump up and down that they actually got to experience an exciting game, but.
- [13:06]
B
If they're being honest, if they were being honest, once the annoyance from the loss calms down, they would admit it's probably among the more fun game experience they've had in a while. Just seeing their team continue to put up points. How many home games. If we go look at the home games, we can see how many games they broke 30 in the last few years.
- [13:27]
A
It's one of the last like again that two years ago, the opener against the Bills was a unbelievable emotional roller coaster. Great ending, fun game. Right. But there was a, a cloud over it because of what the reality was. But no, but you still walked away going like, damn, that was fun. There were other games that season, if you, if you remember, that also had a little bit of the vibe to it when they won. They, they were winning some games early that season that stayed in it even after Rogers was hurt. Yes. Then it all went, went to hell. But again, there's little things about it to like, but I can't let go of the same things that take them down. And that of course, as I said, the unforced errors, the shooting yourself in the footsteps, it was a winnable. McDonald looked real like there's guys that jumped off the page. We're like, okay, he's legit. They have players like that that stood out. I'm just saying the thing that hangs over this franchise is the inability to play clean football.
- [14:27]
B
How about this? That was actually back to back home games of 32 points.
- [14:32]
A
That's a good point.
- [14:33]
B
Yeah, but, but again, let's not count closing out against Miami as a game in the same way.
- [14:38]
A
That's only like besides that to beat.
- [14:40]
B
The, for all of last year.
- [14:41]
C
But the thing is, is that you, you, you functioned. You know who's upset today? The people that think the team's going to win 10 games to go to the playoffs. If you look at it and say, hey, we, we, we functioned offensively, yeah, we should have won the game because it's another blown fourth quarter lead, which is something they did. But Rome wasn't built in a day. All right. It's going to take some time. This is a transitional year with a new coach, new quarterback, and you went up against a really good Steelers team, half the buildings rooting for the other team and you put. You did some really good things. Yeah, eventually that's going to get old, but I do think that there's some value to what goes on. All right. They're not in a playoff contention just yet, so take advantage of the situation that you're in at some point. These things are not going to be tolerated.
- [15:24]
A
I agree.
- [15:25]
C
Game one of the regimes.
- [15:27]
B
All right.
- [15:27]
C
It looked a lot like last year with the penalties and blowing a fourth quarter lead, but there's a lot of things that didn't look like the previous few years. Looks like you got yourself a quarterback, looks like you got yourself a coordinator and an offensive line and, you know, and I think that you're moving in the right direction. Don't freak out over one game.
- [15:43]
A
And Darren Mugi, I said this earlier, I'm gonna say, I'm keep saying it. His next goal is to find his A.J.
- [15:48]
C
Brown to put opposite of Garrett Wilson. And that doesn't happen right away either. Oh, let's go to Anthony in the Bronx. He's back. You're on espn, New York. All right. We gave him how many more chances? Call a third time, maybe you'll get through. Let's go to Felicia in Mississippi. You're on espn, New York.
- [16:07]
D
Hey guys, how's it going?
- [16:08]
B
Felicia, how are you?
- [16:10]
D
I feel like I haven't talked to you guys, all three together in forever. So this is awesome. But as a Jets fan, I just want to say if you remember when we first got field, I called in and Alan, you kind of got on to me a little bit, which I agree because I use the word excited and I. And optimistic probably would have been the better word, but after seeing him yesterday and I know it's. I know it's one game, I'm not like, just not completely bought in, but it just felt good, like to compete. And you know, when I have a bunch of Steelers fans, Steelers fan friends who were like texting me throughout the game and they were like, you know what, we're scared. We think you guys are going to win. And you know, if you really think about it, the Steelers, even if they have new players and the organization as a whole knows how to win. You know, they've been there, done it kind of now they haven't won like the super bowl in a while, but compared to the jets, they're, you know, the best team there is.
- [17:01]
A
Yep.
- [17:01]
D
So, exactly. So like if you compare that, you expected them kind of to pull it out and then, you know, it was a heartbreaker losing how we did. But, you know, I walk away feeling, you know, pretty good about game one and Jacob and I were talking, you know, let's just move on. Let's go to Buffalo. They can be beaten, especially if we run the ball as well as we did.
- [17:20]
A
I agree. That's. See it's, it's Monday, so we have to talk about yesterday and all that stuff, what we saw. But I'm already like, I'm fast forwarding to next week, like I want. I watched the Bills last night and while this, the ending was scary because that, that guy, Josh Allen, scary, man. They look that that could be another 34, 32 finish. It could be. And then maybe this time around you don't and you don't blow the lead. But I think they're, I think they're gettable.
- [17:46]
C
Well if then and if he can. But still, if you don't, not the end of the world. But at the same time, that's 02. Two losses in conference, two losses at home. You know, you don't want it to get away from you either. But I think it's all kind of how it looks. And let's face it, the Bills are a better team. Right. So if you hang with them and lose, I know there's no moral victories, but that's just something people say. Sometimes there are moral victories for a first year coach, first quarterback here on his third team, trying to reclimate his career. Yeah, that's why. But I don't give the Giants the same benefit because the Giants, this is year four of this regime, right? So it's same old stuff. Let's see now again. Week 12, week 13, they continue to blow fourth quarter leads, they continue to commit penalties. Then we can start saying, all right, there's a problem here. But it's only week one. Now Mike in Miami's got a conspiracy theory. And you know how I feel about conspiracy theories. You're on espn, New York, what's up, Mike?
- [18:44]
D
Yes, gentlemen, the conspiracy theory is I had a kicker that a good friend of mine went to college with and he told me that it's happened before. Does they check these kickers, shoes for steel in the front, his kicking foot. Because you know how they check pictures up and down the, the gloves, but does anybody. How do we know he didn't have steel in his shoe? Because the way that thing came off his foot, it was like a rocket.
- [19:15]
C
Well, have you watched kickers in the NFL recently? Yeah, they all kick bombs, man. I look at this one was a little farther than I remember, but.
- [19:25]
B
No, but 60s every week, 60s in play.
- [19:28]
C
And I would think the jets would probably. If they felt like there was anything going on, they would have had it checked.
- [19:34]
A
Who is. Who is The Bills. He kicked the 50 yarder, didn't he?
- [19:37]
B
Well, guys were kicking.
- [19:38]
D
What about the. Can they wear any shoe they want?
- [19:42]
C
I'm sure there is certain.
- [19:44]
A
So you're saying that could you wear a steel toe cleat and get away with it?
- [19:51]
D
Yes, sir.
- [19:53]
B
Listen, I don't know if that's an epidemic that's facing the rules department of the NFL today. I think it's much more likely these guys going all the way back to Janikowski. These guys just, they're on a different level than when we were kids who.
- [20:07]
C
Was in the preseason kicked like a 65 yard field goal. I mean these guys are just monsters.
- [20:11]
B
Now, what's the amount if your team has to kick a field goal?
- [20:15]
A
I don't think it's still.
- [20:16]
C
What's the number?
- [20:16]
B
I don't even know about that. But what's the number, Don, if your team's kicking it where you go, oh God, I don't know if they're going to make it.
- [20:23]
C
Well now, I mean, I would try from 70 the way he kicked that ball.
- [20:26]
B
Right, but even like 65. But no, no, no, I don't mean that. I just mean when you're worried they might not make it. Like when I was a kid, inside 50.
- [20:34]
C
Inside 50 feels like a lot.
- [20:35]
B
It feels like a lock. If we get into like once you get to 54, you're like, oh, that's, that's long, kids. 45 was long.
- [20:44]
C
You know, nor I, I was telling these guys during the commercial, during the, the meeting today that the most famous miss in local history was The Norwood Miss.
- [20:52]
B
47.
- [20:53]
C
47 yard field. If you go back to the broadcast, Frank Gifford said this is the tip of his range. I think the stat 47 yard field goals on grass were like made 30% of the time. 30%.
- [21:03]
B
If 47 is the tip of your range, you do not have a job in the NFL today.
- [21:07]
C
Yeah, today no shot.
- [21:08]
B
No shot.
- [21:08]
C
But if I'm watching a game and the Giants are in a tie and the kick is 50 or less, I would be shocked if we won the game. You're hoping that something, it gets blocked.
- [21:19]
B
Right.
- [21:19]
C
Something. He's not going to come up short. Right. So if it's 55, I'd be like, maybe there's a chance. But to answer your question, it's 50.
- [21:27]
B
And long way of saying to the caller, last season it was an illegal cleat.
- [21:31]
A
No. Last season the average distance on field goals made was 40.2 yards. And that's an increase. And it continues to increase. And it's, it's a reason is because there's been more 50 plus yard field goals made year after year after year. It is just like the three point shot and the distance on the three point shot where guys now are no longer taking at the line, they're taking it three feet off the line.
- [21:55]
B
Yeah. It's just a different one.
- [21:56]
A
Yeah.
- [21:57]
C
The longest field goal until, until recently, Dempsey was. Dempsey, yeah.
- [22:01]
B
Who had a 63, who had a club foot.
- [22:03]
C
He had like happened.
- [22:07]
A
Maybe that's what. Maybe Boswell's got a club foot.
- [22:09]
B
We didn't know that Boswell has a club foot.
- [22:11]
A
That's it. Smack it off. Take all the toes off.
- [22:14]
B
And remember the barefoot kickers.
- [22:17]
A
Yeah. What an insane. Never made sense to me.
- [22:20]
B
Never made any sense.
- [22:21]
C
Tony Franklin was one. I remember with the Eagles, it was so crazy.
- [22:25]
B
You go, what is this person now?
- [22:26]
A
What happens to if it's a fumbled snap? Are you diving in there with your foot? No, I'm good.
- [22:31]
C
And are you just accidentally on purpose not gonna step on his foot if you got the chance if you're a defender.
- [22:36]
B
What's more, old timey football? The barefoot kicker or the Mark Mosley straight on?
- [22:42]
C
Well, I, it's a, you know, it's a, it's a great. Maybe something we can dive into in the NFL binge, which is coming up next year on ESPN New York.

Thanks for listening to the Don Hahn and Rosenberg podcast.
- [25:07]
B
I didn't listen to anything you just said.
- [25:08]
A
Catch the show on demand whenever you want. Just subscribe to us wherever you get your podcasts. This is the NFL binge.
- [25:25]
B
Oh yeah baby. Well, we don't have an end today.
- [25:30]
A
But we got a binge.
- [25:31]
B
But we got a binge.
- [25:32]
C
Yeah, so I think, well, one of our callers was binging before. I mean I, I. It was everything but just hearing.
- [25:40]
A
Yeah, that's the only thing missing.
- [25:41]
B
All right.
- [25:42]
C
So with that God love you Ravens fan.
- [25:43]
A
Since we don't as high as a.
- [25:44]
B
Guy, since we don't have enn, I'd like to say good evening to Don.
- [25:48]
A
Now.
- [25:48]
C
You functioned, you played football so you could feel good because you're a damn football team. I'm a balloon painted like a football. It's paper mache. It's garbage. I can talk about the jets because it's a team.
- [26:03]
B
So, yeah, Dom wasn't thrilled about the Giants play early today, but let's talk about things outside of why not? Why not? Let's talk football.
- [26:08]
C
How about that?
- [26:09]
B
The teams that actually like to play the foosball, if you will. Let's start out in a place that when you think of it, the first thing you think is American Rules Football. And that, of course, is Sao Paulo, Brazil, where we played on Friday night, the big Gadget Chief game. Because when you think Sao Paulo, I personally always think AFC west action. And Justin Herbert and the Chargers lit up Pat Mahomes. They can be had.
- [26:33]
D
They were had.
- [26:34]
C
McConkey in motion. Herbert to throw. Looking for McConkey now to the end zone.
- [26:39]
B
Q caught into the end zone. Touchdown.
- [26:43]
A
Chargers.
- [26:45]
B
Quentin with his second touchdown grab of this contest.
- [26:50]
A
Yeah, you need to know who that.
- [26:51]
B
Is on the call.
- [26:53]
A
Yeah.
- [26:54]
C
Matt Smith.
- [26:55]
A
I believe that's his name.
- [26:56]
B
98.7 in Los Angeles.
- [26:59]
C
Gorgeous voice or just a tremendous microphone.
- [27:02]
A
Both.
- [27:03]
B
You just like the quality. Well, you know, in addition to football, Sao Paulo also known for its great audio sound. Some of the greatest albums of all.
- [27:10]
C
Time are recorded there. Right?
- [27:11]
B
May be true. I have no idea. Yeah, it was a big win for the Chargers. Let's hear from Justin Herbert. I mean, sorry, Jim Harbaugh. The performance of his young quarterback, Justin Herbert. Justin was phenomenal today in every way.
- [27:23]
A
Pinpoint accuracy. Thought he did a great job with his. With his legs running there at the.
- [27:28]
C
End, sealing the game.
- [27:29]
A
And just overall toughness. I mean, just complete stalwart. He took some.
- [27:35]
C
Took some big hits.
- [27:36]
A
Gave a few shots himself. Sure.
- [27:38]
C
It was incredible quarterback play. He was on the borderline aroused.
- [27:42]
A
Yeah, he was. He sounded aroused.
- [27:44]
B
I got news for you, though. You know, Harbaugh is a handful.
- [27:47]
A
He almost went chef's kiss.
- [27:49]
B
He is a handful. But that team that we've been waiting to just, like, get better, they're going to become a real team now. Like, it's going to happen.
- [27:57]
A
We've been waiting for Herbert to be.
- [27:59]
B
Well, that guy Herbert, now that Herbert known to be dating Long Island's own Madison Beer. Maybe this is the. Maybe this was the thing that he needed to put him over the top. Who is that Madison Beer? Singer from Long Island.
- [28:15]
C
A.
- [28:15]
B
What? A beautiful singer from Long Island. Very talented. She was once. She was once. You should Google she. You. You wouldn't be familiar with her work. No. You wouldn't know her music. I know. I Know some of her music, but you wouldn't even know.
- [28:25]
C
I wouldn't think anything. Like Alan's texting subject yesterday.
- [28:31]
B
Not musically, no. Tate McCray.
- [28:33]
A
McCray.
- [28:33]
B
No. Tape song of the summer.
- [28:36]
C
I saw that song or something.
- [28:38]
B
Madison Beer is. No, she's more pop.
- [28:41]
C
Country. Oh, yeah.
- [28:43]
A
She's not country.
- [28:44]
B
Oh, I thought she's country.
- [28:45]
A
Oh, very pop.
- [28:46]
B
Oh, sorry. She's pop. Pop.
- [28:47]
A
Pop. She's Madonna. Britney Spears pop.
- [28:50]
B
Oh, God.
- [28:51]
A
I didn't know.
- [28:51]
B
Yeah, I was making it up. All right, let's. Let's move right along, shall we?
- [28:54]
A
Yeah. Don Don's line went under the radar.
- [28:58]
C
I think it's fine.
- [28:58]
A
But let's leave it because it's excellent.
- [29:01]
B
And I would like you, those of.
- [29:02]
A
You listening who got it, and you're laughing right now, congratulations. Those of you going, what did I miss? You missed it.
- [29:08]
B
I'd like you to continue to miss it. And I'll explain why later. Let's go to Indianapolis. We talked about, how would it look if Daniel Jones was actually good with the Colts? Well, we found out he looked pretty. I mean, optically pretty damn good.
- [29:24]
C
15Th play of the possession. Jones under center ball in the right hash. Three receivers go left.
- [29:29]
A
Jones, quarterback keeper again. This time he slides in. Touchdown on a quarterback. Keeper. Keeper by Daniel Jones. Touchdown. I N D Y2 rushing scores today by Danny Dimes. Now, can I just. 33.
- [29:46]
C
8.
- [29:46]
A
Yes.
- [29:46]
B
Colts win.
- [29:47]
A
No, no. That he was. His numbers are insane. But I just. Would like to just put the caveat out there. Was this more about the Dolphins than it was about Daniel Jones, Just to be fair. Or we get hysterical. Was this more about the Dolphins than it was about.
- [30:04]
B
Well, I don't think there's anything to get hysterical about. Jones threw for 270 yards and a touchdown. It was a nice game. And he rushed for two and he rushed for a couple as well. They scored on all seven possessions. Yeah. I think it could be that the Dolphins are a horrifying football team.
- [30:16]
A
Yeah.
- [30:16]
B
What kind of moron would pick the Dolphins? Me. Yeah. They scored all seven. Seven possessions. Daniel Jones was asked if he was surprised by his performance.
- [30:28]
C
No, I don't think it was surprising to us. I think we've had a lot of confidence based on our preparation and the work we've put in through training camp and kind of where we think we've. We've grown and improved. You know, you always got to go out there and do it on the field and perform, so there's that element to it. But no, we weren't Surprised. But I said, now the challenge is to grow with it, build and continue to develop as a team, as an offense. Now, what's the nickname for Indianapolis? Naptown.
- [30:54]
B
Yeah, he's.
- [30:55]
C
He's gonna fit in there perfect.
- [30:56]
A
Oh, yeah.
- [30:56]
C
He's gonna put them all asleep.
- [30:57]
A
Sure.
- [30:58]
C
With his post game press conference. Yeah, they'll be excited after.
- [31:00]
A
They're gonna love this, though.
- [31:01]
C
Then it's slumber time. They're just excited.
- [31:03]
A
The over under on how many times people are going to reference Danny Dimes over the next six days.
- [31:08]
B
Oh, they're gonna be in on it right now. We. I remember. You remember when it was born here.
- [31:11]
A
Yes.
- [31:12]
B
When it was born here, people went crazy. And I remember thinking. Went on the air. I went, really? We're going, Danny Dimes. We think he's. Is that what we think? Are we. Sure.
- [31:19]
A
Dropping Dimes, baby.
- [31:21]
B
Now, listen, I'm so excited about the performance. I'm going to Indy next week. Oh, I'm so charged up. I'm going to Indy next week. Now, it happens that we have the first WWE ESPN event Saturday night, a week from Saturday. I won't they not don. They could be home and I could be. I can. They could invite me to be on the sideline and wear a helmet and unless they were playing the Commanders, I'm going home.
- [31:45]
C
Well, that's what I was going to say. What if it was the Commanders in Indy, you're there.
- [31:48]
B
If it were, I'd stay for sure. But it's not. So I will be on the first thing smoking to get back to my baby. I'm not gonna.
- [31:53]
C
First thing smoking. That's it. That's a line.
- [31:57]
B
I think it's just a line.
- [31:58]
A
It's a line. It's the first thing smoking. Could be that caller that we had the boo binge. I'm saying she'd be on.
- [32:04]
C
That wasn't the first time he smoked.
- [32:07]
B
Now, I don't know if you're aware, the packers debuted a man named Micah Parsons yesterday. Things worked pretty well. It was 27:13, packers over the Lions. Didn't feel that close throughout the game, though. Parsons played 45% of the defensive snaps. He recorded one sack, three pressures. Let's hear what it sounded like on 97.3 the game.
- [32:25]
C
Second and 10, Detroit. Detroit 35. Goff takes the shotgun snap, rolls right.
- [32:31]
A
Out of the pocket, chased from behind.
- [32:33]
B
By Parsons and sack.
- [32:34]
A
Micah Parsons registers the sack back at the 31 yard line.
- [32:40]
B
And the Parsons project is underway in green B. Dude.
- [32:46]
A
Yeah. You know what?
- [32:47]
C
I got to be really careful because everybody's like, what's going to be your goal call?
- [32:50]
B
Yeah, you got to be careful.
- [32:52]
C
Because the I N D Y, that's obviously their thing. And this one, the Parsons Project, referring to the Allen's Parsons Project, which was like, big in, like, 1981. Who are you talking to?
- [33:03]
B
Let's be honest. It would make sense on this show, but I don't know if you want to do that on. On the air for a football game.
- [33:08]
C
But who's catching the Parsons Project?
- [33:11]
B
Only people over.
- [33:12]
A
Well, to be fair, Parsons, the Parsons Project thing was in the media before this game, so it's a thing.
- [33:20]
B
So even if they don't get it, they're here.
- [33:23]
A
By the way, it's also Green Bay, which does Trend More like 60. They'd get that.
- [33:27]
C
No, you're right.
- [33:28]
A
Yeah, like that.
- [33:29]
C
They. There might be a few people that knew that he was one of the producers of Dark side.
- [33:33]
B
I wonder if he's heard about it yet and has any idea either way. Parsons, who spoke after the game on his Green Bay debate.
- [33:39]
C
You know, I'm just happy, bro. It's back to what football is need to be. The trade is done. We gotta win. We're 1 and 0 now. I'm around some really great guys, some really great guys, really great organization, really great fan base and a really great football team. So now we can put all the nonsense beside, I'm healthy, I'm able to get off the field and get ready for another game Thursday night and just keep trying to win games and just be what ball's about.
- [33:59]
B
I got a lot to say here. Number one, I love that guy. I don't know what was happening in Dallas, but Dallas is a mess. I tend to go with. Parsons was probably in the right just because. So since he got to the league, I believe he has really carried himself like a really good dude and seems very bright and he's also an incredible player. They said a mouthful on the broadcast yesterday, though. Did you hear when they said it seemed like Green Bay was more excited to get rid of Kenny Clark than they were to get Micah Parsons?
- [34:28]
C
I did not hear that.
- [34:29]
B
You guys catch that line?
- [34:30]
A
No. Maybe I was dreaming.
- [34:32]
B
I swear on the national broadcast, I.
- [34:34]
A
Got rid of Kenny Clark?
- [34:36]
B
I don't know, but I was like, oh, they were obviously not very happy with.
- [34:40]
A
What do you got? Dan Campbell was excited that they were getting ready.
- [34:48]
C
Now it all comes.
- [34:49]
A
Now it makes sense. That makes.
- [34:50]
B
Actually, Detroit was happy, by the way. I think that makes less sense.
- [34:53]
D
No, because if you.
- [34:54]
A
If you run out your game, run game.
- [34:56]
B
I get it. But then I watched the game and saw Micah Parsons wreak havoc all over.
- [35:00]
A
He didn't really. He said 47% like he did not. That's.
- [35:03]
B
Well, it's half the snaps, but they had six points, so there were like three minutes left in the game.
- [35:06]
A
Point is, he did have a couple of impactful plays. But what's remarkable about the impact he had on this game was the fact that he was playing in a lot of vanilla stuff. He doesn't really know a lot of their scheme yet, so they were doing things with him that is basically like, just go get the quarter.
- [35:23]
C
Right.
- [35:23]
B
Right.
- [35:23]
A
So he wasn't in any type of real coverages. He wasn't any type of decision. It was all. When he was out there. There's one thing. One thing only. And when he fought through two blockers to get the sack, that was pretty. That was pretty damn impressive.
- [35:35]
B
Well, I'll say this, though. Whatever. If you were in Detroit, whatever you thought was going to be better than last year, it was not.
- [35:41]
C
No, that.
- [35:41]
A
I agree.
- [35:42]
B
That was not a good showing.
- [35:44]
A
Did the Lions hit their peak?
- [35:46]
B
Well, we don't got to give them time, see if they can recover.
- [35:48]
C
But yeah, it's only Week one.
- [35:49]
B
It's Week one. But I mean, I'm. By the way, I'm going to have my hands full with Ballard, though. Ballard's texting me this morning. Thursday is going to be a. Thursday is gonna be really rough night for Jaden. I mean, it's gonna be. I went, hey, buddy. I know we. You know, he's played Michael Parsons before. He was in the division. Like he is incredible. I. I do just heard me praise the man.
- [36:09]
A
Yeah.
- [36:09]
B
We can't act as if he hasn't.
- [36:10]
A
Played in the league yet.
- [36:11]
B
I know who he is.
- [36:12]
A
Just for the. I'm on record.
- [36:13]
B
Yes.
- [36:14]
A
I am rooting like over the top rooting for the commanders in this game.
- [36:18]
B
Because of what I just said or just in general the hype of the packers annoying bell. Oh, just. You're straight up.
- [36:24]
A
I am taking the role of K. It just feels. It's extra. It's just too.
- [36:29]
C
I like about. But I. I feel bad because I saw on Twitter over the weekend.
- [36:33]
B
Yeah.
- [36:34]
C
Because I could. I just for a goof where he's like I got Ballard's picks and you said I'm good.
- [36:38]
A
Yeah.
- [36:38]
C
Or something like that. And then you just. That was enough for you. And then we didn't get back. I'm being blamed for it. But then again, I don't know if we need. It's a new show. Do we need all of these ancillary picks from everybody?
- [36:52]
B
I'll say I checked out. I'll say this in Ballard's defense. What'd you say?
- [36:55]
A
He said Bear checked out.
- [36:57]
C
Bear didn't make a pick.
- [36:58]
A
No.
- [36:59]
C
45, 45, 47 didn't make a pick.
- [37:02]
B
We complained for Ballard. I got rid of everybody else.
- [37:05]
C
I know, but it just. It would. Because it felt like, you know, it was like a party. Like just everybody joined, but just to have Ballard's.
- [37:12]
B
What about when K started bringing in the teacher's picks?
- [37:15]
A
Yeah.
- [37:15]
C
And he would forget them. And that was a scramble together. Incarcerated Bob made sense.
- [37:20]
A
If you've got Boone, that's one thing.
- [37:22]
C
Yeah.
- [37:23]
B
You don't think Ballard's on the level of Boone? You know, he did have really good picks last year.
- [37:26]
C
I wasn't even thinking about Boone.
- [37:28]
B
Yeah.
- [37:28]
C
Oh.
- [37:29]
B
What would it be tonight?
- [37:30]
C
What if I. What if I just text him?
- [37:32]
A
Did the random.
- [37:33]
C
Do you think he would. Of course he. Would he give a question mark or would he actually just give the pitch?
- [37:37]
A
I think he'd give you a pick.
- [37:39]
C
But it wasn't during the picks, though.
- [37:41]
A
They're off today.
- [37:42]
C
Feels dirty.
- [37:43]
A
They're off today.
- [37:44]
B
They're off today.
- [37:45]
A
Say, do you want to make a pick for tonight's game? Yes or no? And then we'll. We'll include.
- [37:49]
B
They're home tomorrow.
- [37:50]
A
Off today.
- [37:50]
B
Home tomorrow. Yeah.
- [37:51]
A
Detroit.
- [37:52]
B
I wonder how many. By the way, I'm going to a Yankee event tonight. I wonder how many I'll see.
- [37:55]
A
Really?
- [37:56]
B
What's Yankee event adjacent? It's CC's gala.
- [38:00]
C
How come we don't get invited?
- [38:03]
A
Yeah. Yes, very much. Very much.
- [38:06]
C
Well, I mean, it's a foundation. Should he not say who the foundation is?
- [38:08]
A
Found a reason?
- [38:10]
B
No, I thought I could see Boone tonight.
- [38:13]
C
I don't think that was. Drop word.
- [38:15]
B
Thank you.
- [38:15]
C
Thank you.
- [38:16]
B
But either way, I think you should ask him for the pick. I think you'll say yes. I mean, he's not going to care that we're not on with K. Random. All right, last thing here from the NFL this weekend and our great binge was of course, the Buffalo Bills. How the hell did they get it done? The Ravens were up 40 or 25 with 357 to go. I know that. That's exactly when I went to sleep.
- [38:35]
C
Buffalo.
- [38:36]
B
Buffalo managed to score 16 unanswered to win the game in regulation with the game winning field goal from none other than Matt Prater, who was signed this week, course because of an injury to Tyler Bass. Let's hear what it sounded like on the Bills radio network.
- [38:55]
C
Down to three seconds. Here's the snap, hold is down kick.
- [38:58]
B
On the way and it is good. And Matt Prater in his first game.
- [39:04]
A
As a Buffalo Bill.
- [39:06]
B
The Bills are the first first team to win in this scenario since the Saints in 2017, week 11, sadly, versus Washington. I remember it well. That will do it for the NFL binge.
- [39:17]
C
Why 2000? Did they just give up?
- [39:20]
B
They like 25 years on. It's nice and even, you know what I mean.
- [39:23]
A
There's so much about this game though. If they really had time, we got time.
- [39:27]
B
Another hour and 15 minutes. This says a lot you want to do next segment.
- [39:31]
A
This says a lot about both teams, but especially says a lot about everybody that is calling the Ravens Super Bowl. That's a tease.

Dom on the Rosenberg with you until sixth and it's Mets, Phillies, Mets seven back in the Phillies. But it's a four game series and the Mets have done a good job against Philadelphia, so I guess anything's possible. Yankees the night off. They've done well so far in this 12 game Gauntlet, going 4:2 through the first half of it. They'll be home against Detroit tomorrow and then finish it up over the weekend against the Red Sox. But last night, very entertaining game. Game's never over. And the Bills found a way to win. But that was, that was a fun, fun game. But you, it was fun because you.
- [41:55]
A
Didn'T have a, well, you know, a horse in the race so you could watch it as a football fan and just enjoy the fact that it felt like it was over. Yeah, it's true too. It is amazing to think that you watch your team at one o' clock and then you get to watch better, like real football after that. And I don't know if that's more entertaining, makes you forget about your team or does it, Is it harder to deal with because you're like, oh, this is what it's supposed to look.
- [42:20]
C
No, it's harder to deal with.
- [42:21]
A
Like it makes you miserable, it makes you not want to watch more football. But that game, to elite teams, to elite quarterbacks, to like, there was a lot going on in that game. But the one thing that stood out to me, and I've heard so many people and I understand it, you heard, you heard Kurt Warner say that the Ravens have the best roster in football, but man, they have the same problem. And that starts to get frustrating too. They never protect a game late.
- [42:53]
B
What is that?
- [42:54]
A
And Lamar Jackson, for all his greatness, he always seems to like, like, you know when you're always looking for the player with the signature game or the signature moment or like, you know, be the closer, right? Lamar Jackson just never closes games and they never blame him. It's never his fault. It's always, it's always Mark Andrews dropped the ball or someone ran the wrong route. Hollywood Brown didn't. Whatever it is, they find someone else to blame. The running game isn't good because that guy hurt himself. The offensive line wasn't good. Whatever it is, they, they don't seem to close the deal. How am I, and look at the playoffs. How am I supposed to believe that the Ravens are going to win a Super bowl when they have never shown you the ability to close again?
- [43:37]
C
I Understand what you're saying.
- [43:38]
A
Right. And that happened last night.
- [43:41]
C
I am not going to get on the off. They scored 40 points on the road.
- [43:44]
A
It's not about that. It's about closing the game. That's the defense Harbaugh runs. Rex said this this morning. Harbaugh runs that team. Like, he still has Ray Lewis and them boys.
- [43:53]
B
Well, they. Because that's.
- [43:54]
A
They are not that good on defense.
- [43:56]
C
It's amazing to me because, like, Chris Collinsworth was saying, like.
- [43:59]
A
And they should have went for it on fourth down.
- [44:00]
C
Yeah, right. But he said it during the game. It's like, you know, when you play the Ravens, you got to get ready for a brawl.
- [44:06]
A
Hey, that's a pretty good imitation, by the way.
- [44:08]
C
I think their reputation is so, so old now. I agree, because I just think that there's, like, the black and blue. Like, there's some teams that. It's in their DNA. It hasn't been that Ravens from the two.
- [44:20]
A
You know, Henry is the most physical guy on that team now.
- [44:23]
C
Yeah, that's not the same thing. There's. They. They don't have that team anymore. They're a good team, and they got a really good quarterback, but very good. They are not what they're. You see that helmet? You see that team? The reputation says that you're in for a brawl. They're gonna beat you up.
- [44:39]
B
But that's so.
- [44:40]
A
Oh, the only guy beating you up is Derek Henry. He's knocking you down and running you over. And then tried to do it against Ed Oliver, and Ed Oliver, shortcoming. And when he put the paw out to try to try to push him and Oliver went under, it took the football away. What an elite defensive play.
- [44:56]
B
That's a crazy, unreal play, but still, it's 169 yards, two touchdowns. I mean, that guy's just. Derek Henry's a monster.
- [45:04]
A
He's a piece.
- [45:04]
B
But you got to close. But they don't close games.
- [45:07]
A
So how do you trust the Ravens to win?
- [45:09]
B
I don't.
- [45:09]
A
They can't even win in the playoffs.
- [45:10]
B
I don't. I agree. I. That's why I don't pick them.
- [45:13]
C
But. But I'm not going to sit there.
- [45:15]
A
Everybody's picking them.
- [45:15]
C
Blame Lamar Jackson.
- [45:17]
A
I didn't blame. No, I'm saying the Ravens. How do you. The Ravens as a team that everybody thinks can win a Super bowl, how do you trust them when they haven't shown us that ability?
- [45:28]
C
But you know what's so interesting to close the deal. You've got the Ravens, but they can't close the deal.
- [45:33]
A
Right.
- [45:33]
C
You got the Bills. The Bills also have a problem sometimes closing the deal, right?
- [45:37]
A
Yep.
- [45:37]
C
All right. Everybody outside of Kansas City. And then that one year, Cincinnati goes to Kansas City and beats them and they go to the Super Bowl.
- [45:45]
A
By the way, the Bengals won, but that wasn't pretty.
- [45:48]
C
They got a great quarterback, but that team's a mess. That team's not winning a Super bowl anytime soon. At least the way it looks right now based off of what it did last year. But isn't that the afc? Aren't you describing everybody but Kansas City?
- [45:58]
A
Well, Kansas City didn't look great on Friday either. I think everybody can be hit.
- [46:03]
C
But leading up to that game, of course, it's like. It's just, can the Bills do it now? Can the Ravens now? Like, everybody's. We're waiting for somebody to be Kansas City. And the only team that's been able to do it, really, in this run with Cincinnati.
- [46:15]
A
Yeah, right.
- [46:16]
C
Buffalo hasn't been able to do it. Baltimore hasn't been able to do it. You know, so. But now it looks like Kansas City might be able to be had. But now, is somebody else going to climb in? I'm interested to see what the Chargers are.
- [46:27]
A
Yep.
- [46:27]
C
It's so easy to kill Kansas City, but, you know, if Herbert is putting it together and they finally got a coach that maybe that's the team, you know, but still, it's. It's still ridiculously early. Still got 16 games left on the schedule. Let's go to Christian, who is on the gwb. He's probably off it by now. You're on espn. New York. What's up, man?
- [46:49]
A
Hey.
- [46:50]
D
Hey, guys. How are you doing? Yeah, I'm on the balance phase now. Going home. I was biking over the bridge so quickly. I just want to point. I just want to say that I don't think this is the same old Jets. And I got three points that validate that. Number one, I think, you know, Justin Fields has shown us that he can throw the ball accurately when given time. Number two, we have. We finally have our offensive coordinator. We haven't had a real one in a decade, probably since Brian Schottenheimer during the Rex Ryan era. Okay, so he called the. He called a really good game, and I think every. All the offensive players have bought in, and I think they, you know, executed for the most part. Okay. And then my third point, you know. Oh, wow, I forgot my third. But. No, no, no, I'm sorry.
- [47:45]
B
I got it.
- [47:46]
D
So my third point is when. When When Roger, when they came, when Pittsburgh took the lead for the third time or something like that. Right? Right. I heard the announcer from the game say, wow, the jets really got to come back and score again. And that's when I know that it's not the same old Jet. They got punched in the mouth and they came back and scored again and took the lead.
- [48:10]
C
I. I want you to be. It's okay to be optimistic, but it's one game to say it's not the same old Jets. We've got an offensive coordinator. Just relax.
- [48:21]
B
Sima.
- [48:22]
C
I think there's a lot of good things that came out of that game, but you can't make any declarative statements off of one game. We gotta wait and see. Now do that against the Bills, beat the Bills, then you get something going here. But all I heard when they beat the Bills a couple of years ago, look at the heart. Look at it. Zach Wilson got the job done. And what happened? It ended up being one of, like four highlights that entire year of yet another losing season. I'm sorry, there's too much scar tissue for Jeff fans to just all of a sudden think that in one game we've got it all figured out. In a loss, we got to keep a loss.
- [48:59]
B
All right.
- [49:00]
C
But it just shows you how far you have to go that this is and how far they've been away from this, that you could still take value in it. But no declarative statements. I'm just saying you looked functional. There's a lot of things to be excited about, but truly knowing you have a quarterback and an offensive coordinator and a head coach is to be able to do what you did on Sunday on a consistent basis. And you start winning games and you figure out a way to close games out and clean up the penalties. But believe me, one game does not a season make. Please. 1-800-919-3776 Lots to get through. You only have an hour because at 6 o' clock we're handing it off to the Mets and the Phillies right here on ESPN New York.
