Lucy (1:47)

I'm going to get going on the montage.

Dan Lebatard (1:50)

Greg, do you have a. Back in my day, it's Tuesday.

Mike (1:53)

No, I just didn't have time. I've been a little busy lately.

Dan Lebatard (1:56)

Can you guys get me as much Ralph Banerchka information as you can hear?

Tony (2:02)

So again, hold on. Let's. Let's rewind this for a second. Who are these people? Ralph Panerska.

Dan Lebatard (2:08)

It's Uwe von Shaman and Ralph Panerska.

Tony (2:10)

Uwe von Shaman.

Lucy (2:12)

Pick up a picture of Uwe von Shaman. He was quite a looker. That was a professional athlete. You have to keep in mind as you stare at his bald head.

Jeremy (2:19)

Is it Ralph or Rolf?

Dan Lebatard (2:20)

Rolf.

Mike (2:21)

Rolf.

Jeremy (2:21)

Oh, hell yeah.

Tony (2:23)

Rolf Shaman.

Mike (2:24)

Rolf.

Dan Lebatard (2:24)

Sweden. Let's go. Can you find out for me though why he was hosting Wheel of Fortune? Was Pat Sajak on strike? What was happening that made Rolf Banirschka.

Jeremy (2:34)

Be the host of Wheel of Fortune for a very brief period of time? It was a very strange thing and.

Dan Lebatard (2:40)

I'd like as much information on this as you guys can get me.

Lucy (2:43)

Passion project.

Dan Lebatard (2:44)

Is everyone just going to look at me and no one's going to look this up? Because I'm sure it's not that hard to find whatever it is that, that Ralph Banerjski didn't host for very long. Incidentally, here. R, O, L, F, F. I think it's just 1.1F. Yeah. I was remiss in not mentioning this yesterday, so forgive me for this, please.

Lucy (3:04)

Ulcerative colitis.

Mike (3:07)

Good for him.

Lucy (3:10)

Inspirational story.

Dan Lebatard (3:12)

Forgive me for not mentioning this yesterday. Stugatz returned to live radio yesterday, three to five eastern. Fox Sports Radio on 270 affiliates. You should check out Stu Gotz and company. He is building out an empire and he's going back to his first love. I've expected him here for months. I don't know why he's not here. Hopefully we'll get some clarity on that soon. We do not have clarity. I expected him back this month. Tony, what did you find on Ralph banerka?

Tony (3:46)

So in 1989 he hosted Wheel of Fortune for a short period while Pat Sajak left to do a version of his own late night TV show. About six months worth of Wheel of Fortune for Rolf Bernerski.

Dan Lebatard (4:00)

Can you guys imagine that?

Jeremy (4:02)

Like, I don't even know. I really don't know who I can.

Dan Lebatard (4:07)

Put as a kicker in the modern.

Jeremy (4:09)

Game with a funnier name as the host of the random host of Wheel.

Lucy (4:13)

Of Sebastian Janikowski than Rolf.

Jeremy (4:16)

Rolf Banerjka.

Tony (4:17)

People know he was a kicker and like, oh, that guy. I know who he is.

Jeremy (4:21)

No, no, no. If you think kickers are not famous now. I had an idea, actually, I didn't pose it yesterday and I meant to.

Dan Lebatard (4:31)

I really failed in this regard. Xavier Lucas out for the first half of the game yesterday because of the.

Jeremy (4:39)

Targeting call in the previous game and given the general anonymity of football players inside the uniform, I was actually thinking, what if they just put Xavier Lucas in another uniform and didn't.

Tony (4:51)

Now you're talking.

Jeremy (4:52)

Tell anybody that it was Xavier Lucas. Everybody like me. Holy shit. That guy.

Lucy (4:57)

Who is that guy?

Jeremy (4:58)

Just put him in a different uniform that no one has seen play all season.

Jeremy (5:02)

And don't tell anybody Oregon's kicker is named Atticus Sappington.

Tony (5:05)

Oh, that. That name. I've heard that guy's nice.

Jeremy (5:08)

Yep.

Mike (5:08)

Sappington. What a name.

Jeremy (5:10)

Atticus.

Mike (5:10)

I love that guy.

Dan Lebatard (5:13)

Lucy, the game last night, because one.

Jeremy (5:16)

Of the things that was most wrong, that we got most wrong around here.

Dan Lebatard (5:20)

Is wasn't really a home game for Miami in terms of the feeling and the energy of the crowd. Right?

Jeremy (5:27)

Yeah. I feel like I said that I thought there would be a lot of Indiana fans. To me, we were up top. So we got to kind of see, like, the overhead. It looked like 60. I did not expect this to be. I mean, 5050 was probably closer to what maybe I thought it would be, but I never expected it to feel like entirely Miami. Because the thing with Indiana fans is one that they have a wealthy, you know, alumni, alumni base. They have a top 10 business school also. They've never been here before. So, like, why would you splurge and get this, you know, ticket? I thought it was a great crowd. I think it was interesting of, like, walking around the stadium before the game, you could feel the difference in the sections where Miami. It was. There was an intensity to it of just, like, the kind of knowing how much this game meant and whatever. And Indiana was like, we're just here, and this is awesome, and life is great. It was very different vibes.

Dan Lebatard (6:12)

Look at Tony back there. He will never forgive Roy Bellamy. I don't know if there's anything that we've taken from today more than Tony promising us that 60 years from now, he will still not have arrived at forgiveness for Roy Bellamy.

Tony (6:25)

For never. Never. I said never. Like, I will never forgive him. Look at that face, Dan, as the ball's in the air and all of a sudden number 22 is intercepting it. And I'm just thinking, interception's coming here. And I'm like, I'm gonna never forgive him.

Dan Lebatard (6:41)

Do you guys. I don't know if you find it funny, but do you find it interesting in the way that history forgets the details that you may remember going forward, the way that that game ended? And it'll stick to Carson Beck forever, that he's got six losses in college football and four of them, he had the chance to win at the end and threw an interception, but the fact that very possibly he was concussed and he'. You. My ears were ringing. Okay? My. I'm taking snaps and it's not crowd noise. It's not anything else. The fact that history will forget that in that moment, you've got a quarterback who's quite possibly impaired making a decision that ends up being a the totally wrong decision to make. You do not throw to that receiver in double coverage in that spot. Marion took the blame for that, which I don't even know what he's doing there. Like he said he never saw the ball and that he's supposed to go and contest the play quiet as it's kept. Pukinakua got the Rams to advance because he played defense on a throw that would have been intercepted against Carolina.

Lucy (7:42)

He said that interception was all on him.

Dan Lebatard (7:44)

Marion said the interception was all on him. But how do you do this where we're famously bad at concussion talk? We become doctors and we do diagnoses. But when on second and 15 you're getting the penalty that is showing you on video. Oh, he's hit the back of his head there on the turf and now he tells you his ears are ringing. That's an impaired quarterback. I wonder whether those details matter at all. They don't. Right. History forgets all of them.

Mike (8:11)

Yeah. I think it matters in the immediacy if Carson Beck admits that he may have been woozy.

Dan Lebatard (8:17)

Kind of did.

Jeremy (8:18)

He was woozy.

Dan Lebatard (8:19)

He doesn't have to admit it. The way he got up made it.

Tony (8:21)

Obvious wobbly and everybody was like let's roll with concuss. Carson back.

Lucy (8:25)

Spoiler alert. If the Patriots go on to win the super bowl, it will be a footnote that they beat the backup of the Broncos to get to that.

Dan Lebatard (8:32)

Oh well, let's talk about this for a second. It's not just merely that they've had the easiest schedule which the Patriots year go look at just their the history of good fortune here that they've had the entirety of the season, which is nuts. But all of that stuff gets forgotten. Nobody. Nobody cares at the end. If it's an imperfect measurement system, it doesn't matter.

Mike (8:51)

I don't discount what Diana Rossini said on this show earlier today. I think that. That that the Broncos now have more incentive than they did if that's possible. I think the defense is good enough. I think New England is over rated enough based on their schedule. It wouldn't shock me in the least for Denver at home minus five or plus five and a half to win that game.

Lucy (9:13)

I'd be pretty surprised. I mean it would be shocking.

Mike (9:15)

It really I don't think it would be.

Lucy (9:17)

It will definitely come up as a factor that I think is one of the most overrated things mentioned in sports. The advantage that Denver teams have at home. Oh, it's the thin air up there. Then why don't they all go undefeated? Why don't they all have remarkable home records? They don't Spoiler alert. Once again.

Dan Lebatard (9:35)

I don't think that's how spoiler alerts work. I don't think that you can't spoilers.

Lucy (9:39)

I was spoiling you looking up their career their their records to disprove my point. I am right. They none of them went undefeated at home in any given aren't they like.

Mike (9:49)

8 and 1 at home? I could be wrong. That's off the top.

Lucy (9:52)

I'm talking about the nuggets in the abs.

Dan Lebatard (9:54)

You.

Lucy (9:54)

You get my larger point in the what? Can I jump in real fast? If you think you've got the boldest take of the week, we want to bring that segment back. Prove it. Call three.

Dan Lebatard (10:05)

Also whoa.

Greg (10:07)

Per Jeff Passon, the Miami Marlins are acquiring right hander Bradley Blaylock from the Colorado Rockies for a minor league pitcher. Blaylock was DFA'd by the Rockies last week. This will give Miami additional pitching depth after trading away Edward Cabrera and Ryan Weathers.

Dan Lebatard (10:24)

I'm still confused by what happened on that phone call between Barkley and his bookie.

Mike (10:29)

I know.
