After Hours with Amy Lawrence PODCAST: Hour 1

Did you see the difference with Thursday night football was there any difference with the broadcasting on Amazon prime other that you had to look for different sores on your TV or your computer actually would've been watching all my laptop I got been watching on Amazon prime for a couple years with my laptop. Had it not been for the new TV that I purchased what I like it. I was fine with my old TV, the one that was 32 inches in high DEF I had no problems with it. It wasn't a smart TV and it was probably 15 years old but it was still really great picture really nice picture and I'm a bit of a high DEF snob, but having a smart TV has changed my viewing habits. I never though I'd say this, but I want to more streaming than I do actual TV. I can't get rid TV because there are too many sporting events and other elements to cable TV that I need in my life but I do really like the streaming option. The only thing I don't love it and it's probably my TV maybe it's my remote whatever but it it's not as easy to fast-forward and rewind a little bit awkward on my particular TV with with Amazon prime and really the other streaming out at Paramount. Plus as well, which is CBS so I didn't have any major challenges or issues other than that I do generally skip commercials. I don't watch a lot of commercials and a lot of times I'll be flipping channels during commercials when I watching something on broadcast TV or I will have a game on my DVR and I'll be about 56 minutes behind so I can skip commercials. There is an option to record on Amazon prime which I thought was interesting.

I have no idea how that works but I'd I did see that you could record the game instead of watching it live and so I'll get used to it, but the picture itself is dynamic and I thought Al Michaels and Kirk Kirby Street and Kaylee Hartung did a good job. I did watch a whole lot of the pregame only because I was busy doing other stuff to get ready for work tonight but I thought the picture was glorious. I thought it's Thursday night football on private arrowhead Stadium was absolutely beautiful.

It is pretty the atmospheres is pretty with all that red and all the people decked out in arrowhead course.

The excitement of the cheese first coming on the field considering how they played last week and now this is different test expected to be is to protest and it lived up to the building so here he even as we usher in week two and the weekend audit after hours producer J and I were talking about the game of the week and which games we think qualifies for our second weekly poll and honestly this might have been the game of the week that we won't know until after the entire week to schedule is completed and that includes a doubleheader on Monday by this was one heck of a battle at arrowhead Stadium and even though the Chargers end up losing their one and one. The chief search, you would know no doubt these two of the AFC West and all the comforts as a whole are the powers that a lot of people expected them to be and that they would look like on paper one things for sure. The Chargers defense is much improved it a lot better. It's topper it's more physical.

It's one that will pressure at the line and will get through Khalil Mac had another half sack so he's already at 3 1/2 on the season and he's played to gate inside his own division so this may very well have been the game of the week, though I expect that the NFL will have some other surprises for us as we head toward Sunday and then to the Monday night doubleheader.

What you think of Amazon prime, and Thursday night football on Amazon prime.

You can't hit the back button what you can Mitchell get out of the app you can't hit the back button to go to another channel and try something different. I just had the app on the whole time so that it keeps me from needing their finding that instant gratification by constantly changing channels that I can't do so.

That was an adjustment but I still have my laptop and I was busy taking notes for the show anyway. We are live from the rocket mortgage studios whether you're looking to purchase a new home or refinance yours. Rocket mortgage can help you get there for home loan solutions that fit your life. Rockets can sue place by me on Twitter a little radio and then on our Facebook page after hours with Amy Lawrence. Not only will we soon throw up the game of the week, poll after hours game of the week.

What is it but I'd love to hear your reaction to the new Thursday night football on prime after seeing it tonight. Like I said there there was some humorous reaction and but I think Al Michaels brings instant credibility. Kirk Kirby Street, whether or not you think he can only or should only be talking about college football I I guess that it can be jarring at first but it's no different than, say, a former NFL athlete or former NBA star becoming a talkshow host and learning how to navigate other sports right it's no different than people who think women should be talking about football and eventually they just get used to it. Kirk Street knows football. He knows football and a couple coffee in the NFL, but he's been around football and think about this. If you believe that he should only be talking about college. Do you know the number of athletes that he's seen and talked about in college football that are now playing in the NFL. Kirk is seeing them over the course of years and years now so he's automatically familiar with some of the best former college players who have gone on to Pro careers actually think that gives him a leg up and I liked the vibe between Al and Kirk. It wasn't in your face. It was relatively laid-back.

I thought that was cool. I didn't have any issues with the two of them.

I don't know much about Kaylee, but she's a silent reporter did a great job reporting on injuries and then if I can remember correctly some really big names in high profile members of the pre-and post game show. So, Carissa Thompson. Obviously she's worked in the NFL and in sports for years, but Tony Gonzales. Ryan Fitzpatrick who let's hope has a Hawaiian shirt to go with his coat for every single week of TNF Andrew Wentworth offense of lineman for the Super Bowl champion Rams has got a new gig and then Richard Sherman is are you talking about too often Simplot three officer players one defensive player. All of them with unique career arcs, multiple champions in their I think it's a good mix and as I said I didn't spend a whole lot of time watching the pre-I didn't watch the posted all but you've got some knowledgeable recognizable members in the big names alone give TNF give Amazon prime instant credibility. I was trying to explain to my mom the amount of money that Amazon is shelling out for these broadcasts. Forget the what you currently forget it. Taking into account the billions billions of dollars that Amazon bid for the rights of the exclusive rights to Thursday night football outside of the local markets of the local markets you can watch on your regular network TV so Los Angeles and Kansas City to gate was also available on local TV, but outside of those two markets. The only place you can see the game is on Amazon prime whether a smart TV or an app and the billions of dollars that it cost to get the rights is only part of the expense. Think about the money they're paying to these athletes and broadcasters crazy and you have that yet it's Amazon, so they've got truckloads of money that they can throw at the NFL and I daresay it won't be the last professional sporting event or even major team sporting event or league that finds a permanent home on streaming.

It is definitely the way of the future quote unquote it's back to the future and after hours there on CBS sports radio are game of the week poll is up and we wrestle with this. With a little bit because there's some odd matchups.

There's definitely intrigue everywhere you look as we had talked about on our last show when teams go to a no there 75 to 80% of the time.

Also into the NFL playoffs.

I know it September too early to be talk about the playoffs but my point is how you start is important.

Last year, none of the teams that began the season owing to made the postseason, so it is important and we got a couple early divisional matchups, one in which Nellie's of the oldest rivalry in sports, but one that I will be seeing in person first hand. For the first time ever at Lambeau Field in Green Bay Bears and Packers. And if you miss my conversation with LeRoy Butler, the Hall of Famer who spent his entire career in Green Bay. He gave me a taste of what to expect with Bears and Packers on Sunday. I football under the lights. Actually, it's weird been so crazy busy this week trying to get acclimated to the schedule and then some other personal will call them challenges, just just different things in life 45 years old man. I got a lot of bleep going on it. It's just been one of those weeks and so I really haven't had a chance to think about the game on Sunday night and it's not the reason I'm going to Wisconsin. It just happens to be taking place at the same time so I'm going to do my shows from Green Bay, but I'm sure it's going to be electric and I'm sure the atmosphere at Lambeau will blow me away have only ever been there before for a preseason game which was a special, so find us on Twitter or Facebook or both. I suppose if you want to cast two votes, you can if you haven't yet major paper survivor island you better because if you don't make your bacon time and you don't save your pack will help you are automatically eliminated and I'm I don't know how many I did go back and look I don't know how many people just didn't make their pics last week but more than 350 people on my island. The island I'm on. I think it's a slight new block more than 350 if you were eliminated already on the to say a good chunk of those probably didn't make their pics. One guy didn't know how to get back to survivor island it the link is on our twitter and Facebook see you just have to to scroll through and find it.

If that's the only way but you go to CBSSports.com you'll see the fantasy menu and it's there on the fantasy drop-down menu so week two kicking off on Amazon prime in Kansas City home opener for the Chiefs and yet it was the Chargers who were able to grab the early lead they were up 10 seven at halftime, but the one touchdown that lead she's managed before the break. Wow, it was a jaw-dropping moment. Once again, Patrick Malone's misuse, retraction, motionto try to get the outside. The fires of some as you touch through improvisation chasers seven so so in 2022. That is Patrick Holmes he's so creative and Mitch Holden is on.

She's radio describes it so perfectly improvisation. That's what he does.

He's an improv artist know to play to the same. Don't you hear that a lot about will humans know to humans on the same note to clouds are the same note to Patrick Holmes scramble plays are the same because he can extend plays he has almost 1/6 sense it's it's clearly developed by experience in his field vision, but he knows where the pressures coming from he can sidestep he can step up.

Not only can he elude by moving around, but he's got this impeccable sense of timing so creative and then what is on the move. He got about 17 different arm angles from which he can deliver the football. This one looked more like a shortstop throwing to second base to get the fourth play shoveled it underneath and through to Jared McKinnon. Crazy stuff yeah for sure. So is improv brings the cheese within three at the half. Any action it was 12 of 14 in the first half, but only 98 yards crazy enough by the time the Chargers scored to begin the third quarter. One guy just one guy had more passing/receiving yards, then the entire Chiefs offense 15 yards. William slides down the Chargers severely iron Eagle on Westwood One Mike Williams was using all of his available body parts for that acrobatic cat. He first get his right hand on it, as he's twisting and falling toward the right end line and then watch it. Even now it's being shown about about that work. Then he pulled it toward his body continues to twist and the first thing that hits the deck, his right butt cheek a lot to say but cheek on Amazon prime are doing to stick with rear end or maybe because it streaming you can say a double curvy road blocks of time.

Oh okay so one cheek down equals 2 feet right is that the rule was acrobatic. Eddie was delicious. It was Mike Williams. That is why is it at that point he already had more receiving yards than the Chiefs had passing yards that after hours there on CBSSports radio so the opening act of the second half is Mike Williams the 15 yard touchdown grab put the Chargers up by double figures again but the next three scores are Kansas City, a 41 yard bomb about your multimember looks like he's throwing at heartiest conflicts that goes 41 yards perfectly to Justin Watson. Then they have a field-goal drive that takes them into the fourth quarter. It's a tie game when the Chargers get the ball back and get deep into Chiefs territory. Georgia will search on the Mitchell clapping for emphasis in the background is fantastic. Jaden Watson welcome to the bowel rookie.

This was one heck of a play, greater dissipation, the receiver goes outside, he stepped inside and boom had an angle and he got all good speed was able to read through a five year old Chargers. But honestly, it was such a stoner that he was behind the wood you would really call it the second lot. The defense, but you get my drift. He was already past the second wave of Chargers before they really knew what was happening and so that takes 699 yard variety gives the chief the 24th 17 lead rebel attack on a field-goal drive with four minutes to go and honestly that turned out to be the edge they needed because Justin Herbert and the Chargers. They just keep coming in. This is despite the fact that her whizbang job and feeling pain or over under pressure as Everett and he's got the right sideline 30 to 34 yard line and understood it was slow to get really slowed as revenue. You don't ever see that which is not to mention the fact that he spent some time talking to team trainers and then he was grimacing the rest of the way he really was he a couple times couldn't extend fully to throw the football. And yet, somehow, whether these are bruised ribs. Whether these are cracked ribs. I hope that's not the case.

He was clearly in agony and yet on fourth down on their final possession.

He takes this deep shot into the red zone and connects with his receiver and that gives the Chargers another look at the end zone… Going so far, touch, Josh Ballmer. Herbert continues to do the incredible know how he's walking, much less throwing times touchdown passes their hopes alive as the sales might be no slipping into picking up which is a sport about one on subject to its receptor trailing in the skin in the not so sure is to open up the 50th. Susan will GH a field come back with the troops twice down by double figures.

Mitch Holden is on.

She's radio Matt Smith is the play-by-play voice of the Chargers. So a banged up and bruised clearly in pain. Justin Herbert able to finish the game but ultimately the cheese had too much firepower and too many opportunities in the second half and then my goodness, as I said after week number one. The reports of the chief demise greatly exaggerated. All right, you can find me on twitter a lot radio what the reaction to the Thursday night football debut on Amazon prime thing some of you come back with your responses and are game of the week. Paul is producer table a fast one on me.

I thought we were going with a particular group of key changed one of them, but we did have a healthy debate debate about it beforehand so yeah this is tough, but there's a couple divisional games. There's sub AFC drama, so check it out on either twitter or Facebook page and will get the postgame reaction from Kansas City. Both the Chiefs were now to know and the Chargers in a hard-fought loss they really push the cheese to the brink. Thanks for hanging out with us are finals over the workweek.

It's after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBSSports radio you are listening to the after-hours podcast fish. Most of the homes serious rush to Georgia you will after-hours time to talk with you, Lawrence play-by-play voice of the cave. The thinning she said well variety of ways they can beat you, but what was the knock on them last year and really the year before to their defense wasn't consistently holding up his end of the bargain. Now we saw after the cheese fell into a below 500 whole in the first. What two months of last season. The defense did start to play really well.

It did become a force, but they've added some really impressive young talents, though this is kind of fun. One of those football rags to riches stories, Jaelyn Watson, the rookie quarterback who went 99 yards with the interception off Justin Herbert was drafted in the seventh round were not talking about a young man who was a first-round or second rounder were talking about 1/7 rounder that worked hard to find his spot on this Chiefs roster.

Some progressively get better during champ played obviously a high level in college soon back there so the politicos could competition the figures prior most most of all Jess's progress in admitting Good size can run you saw that after the interception those beautiful like the on switch routes on how to sew and just work together pauses into the Marcellus to get home is a surreal fella just so grateful and blessed in his position on I know to do when I got in his own wants and just send in their just a long moment on the welcome to the NFL rookie I didn't even know what to do when I got to the end zone.

I just got a stood there, except when he was going across the goal line was clear that with about 25 yards to go.

He was going all in by himself and there was no one around him, but he holds the ball out and he does a kind of a skimpy motion with his feet, and I'm thinking oh don't do that across the couple anyway. Good for him. It's after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBSSports radio. As for Patrick Holmes. Not even 100 yards in the first half only had to. I think only where quotations only 235 yards for the game.

He does have a couple of touchdowns. He takes the one sack and 1/2 of that belonging to Khalil Machen so even though we didn't see the same explosiveness that we saw in the desert. Obviously there is a lot that you can take away from this game and still when they lock in its phenomenal what that all but is capable of. Sorry Tyra kill Justin Watson came in the mucosal banged up and he got Michael's route pretty any warning its probable all-pro corner and so for a guy like that to make their imprint on the game. That'll help us out as we didn't see something like this that would and we can get touchdowns in and then stuff doesn't everybody was the first effort from your root chakra to the ball thousand or stuff like that. I saw the second half. We just we trust in our lawn week we gave him a few chips a few receivers hitting Titans, doing stuff to help them out about it a great job of Jimmy that sounded no time to make those throws but is a great defense and although we battled and found a way to get aware of the deepest campus in the game. Also sweet and we employ our best football and I think the defense was huge for them to keep us in the game makes a place to poison the board Allman in the skin. Just give us a chance and I think it was a young defense like that to see that this early in the season in a cemetery espresso with whatever you thought of the Kansas City Chiefs.

If it wasn't there.

The team to be in 2022.

In the AFC West.

You may want to recalibrate your expectations about this division and this conference on the Chargers will be a tough out.

These are not your daddy's Chargers though there still people who every time they lose will make jokes about how God hates that the Los Angeles Chargers this is not read his daily new coach changing the culture teaches about a win yada yada yada.

They do of 401 yards of offense and go three for five in the red zone, but obviously had the one very gaudy turnover like aware guys competed and we good chances against the team. You gotta make sure that you capitalize and we had some opportunities tonight with information will get an update on Justin Herbert and his let's hope they aren't cracked ribs.

But his health because he was clearly in pain as they went through the final stages of this game.

It's after hours on CBSSports radio and on Twitter after-hours CBS.

We got our game of the week pulled it's already up and taking your votes will stuff the ballot box, and then Facebook page to markable Eddie is here in studio classes do you do survivor pools have in the past that into one sure right so will help us because first of all Jade I are in one together so maybe we'll let you be the deciding vote if we can't decide to survive so on survivor Island which is our after-hours survivor archipelago with multiple islands still alive.

Jade already been fed to the sharks away you're still alive LOL you are Baltimore and survivor Island okay where you lost in your friend pool holds certified the sharks. But he did lose going with the call to one of his. I only meant to, but one of them were doing together, which means we have to agree Marco so you can make you feel that both respect you so Jay will you thinking before we can ever to survivor Island all week. I just been reading bangles over Dallas deck restaurants out.

I don't think the brush be able to put enough points to be the bangles, that's just what my heart wants to go and that's all worried about the Dallas defense is got some teeth and output pressure Michael Parsons had two good sacks last week, but leaves tweeting up a storm about Thursday night football which is funny talk about Mike Williams is a cheat code knowledge us anyway. I'm worried because borough open. We know what Cincinnati is, is an offense we know what they can do but borough that sack was it seven times last week by the Steelers and also turn the ball over five times so if that's the case I get it Cooper us is not deck Prescott but I'm a little bit worried about the Dallas defense making life, physical, and difficult on borough Parsons could have a good day, but I just didn't even attend nothing 13 to 7 is enough to be become what I was you could brush putting up more than hundred 60 yards and a touchdown.The core no really don't think I'll just up the box and makeover, forcing the throw the ball and I don't think that's a good success for us. We successfully doubled them uncomfortable about Rams over Falcons I was okay. I just don't like it as much as I like bangles over cowboy, browse over jets. I like anyone against the Jets values are why just don't like as much is bangles over double Buffalo, Tennessee. I definitely like before this one. That's one of our games of the week. Margo just made a really crazy face of all the ones he brought up Marco, which way would you lean probably I would be living with Jay on the bangles or the Browns of the Jets.

The Rams is a good one, Falcons, or a bit of pain and yes that I don't really know what to make of them because they don't make themselves great and I really wouldn't mess with the Titans and the bills now me personally get in Orchard Park is Buffalo a better team 100% very angry Tennessee team was also really good at playing games like down the last three minutes.

Do you really want to sweat knowing automatically you're going to the survivor game having to sweat out the last five minutes. Personally, I'd like to avoid the object. Why do you keep making you pick road teams. I don't like big the lock is what don't like the start of the lines this week.

I didn't know I'd go for the first time in 24 weeks for the last 24 games they been the underdog and now the betting favorite over the commanders for the first time in 24 weeks are not rerouted Vegas on no no I never bet on the line before and I don't think I want to start yet you by the end of the year, but your compromise. If you want to be a routine would probably be the Browns.

No rights, so I was thinking Browns Jets. It's just the Jets will eventually win a game and we know that's going to be the case, just that they have flat go this week, though, so that's the problem that has reminds Garrett is good be up likewe can move that's the biggest issue for the Jets. Their offense right now is so bogged down their inability to score points defense is in the bed and the Browns are still Jacoby percent so it's not to be a runaway.

I just have a hard time believing that Joe Flack was the portal points when he needs to.

The other option would be the Packers with the Bears because the Packers are as Marco talks about but you know what other team you're going to be so angry and their home and its alumni weekend and it's it's Aaron Rodgers with a chip on his shoulder on the Bears for hire date of the last nine years ago. That's where I thought the culture and destroy the Tigers last week, but always good ability and always gets up the put okay so were down to bangles or Browns riding with the AFC North we are because I picked Baltimore last week. So we picked Baltimore I could be persuaded to take the Browns. I like that okay I'm enclosed are you going to happen. So yes, alright, well noted for the Jets to make a little filled with butter and relies less on the just wanted him in September.

No, the Monday night game Sam Donald's debut in 2010 really is less on the just want him in September they stink. In September, September, September, smelly that's formally timber yeah that was whenever the person of the 2004, the things that happen browser to go to know that's were banking on making the Browns going to know I said what I said to my choices. Go heavens.

Okay I got a processing a think about it go. To me those are probably the two that you would like us to be able to compromise on. I would probably lead with Jay go with the bangles, but then again I also what will the Colts last week.

So think of what is worked out and I want a cult of the draggers this week were not you are listening to the after-hours podcast over under pressure in the right sideline 30 to 34 yard line is that it was slow to get up really slow to grab way you don't ever see that which is… So Herbert continues to do the incredible know how he's walking, much less throwing times touchdown passes their hopes alive. Use after-hours with Lawrence fourth quarter for Justin Herbert course the pick six that goes 99 yards.

The only turnover of the game which really changed the course of the second half, but also a hard hit that landed him laid him down on his back and clearly affected him the rest of the way.

Even though he was able to convert a pair of fourth talents on the
