After Hours with Amy Lawrence PODCAST: Hour 3

Jog your memory about some of the crazier moments, the more epic and memorable moments from week number one so much to choose from and were still waiting for the pulls the closer TD of the week, final hour of that voting you can find the pull pin to the top of our show. Twitter page after our CBS or on our Facebook page and of course you can send your questions are asking me anything while you're there because producer J is now looking at the next 35 minutes or so to sift through your questions.

By the way JI had someone come to me on social and asked me to post the link to survivor island.

Now he said he can't find it anywhere.

So that's the problem is that he made his pick for the first week but doesn't know how to get back to it. So I just want me to try to tell people how you find it in case you lost your way, you go to CBS sports.com right and over, and I don't do it while talking to over on the far right side at the top of the top line of the website you'll see login there is a login button. So if you click on that and you put in your email address.

I'm actually here's the crazy part is I'm using the email address from when we first started here, the network started nearly 10 years ago the addresses obsolete to the ever try to send me anything. I'm in dire straits, or they make me confirm I cow. I'll have to change it, but so you go in you log in and then when you do that where the login button. The password you just use was found in a data breach okay great to know Google password manager recommends changing this password now that feels like spam to me now maybe spamming very spamming. Okay anyway, instead of login so once you do login successfully where the login button was before now pops up my teams so you go to my teams link and what pops to what pops up then is for me after our survivor island year number eight. I am still on the island. Apparently last week, 369 people were eliminated from this island that's a hell of a lot of people want 369 are you kidding me. Who were they picking the cold bear. Not everyone liners were big. One of my domicile and I'm still alive on because I how that's that's 69 we have one survivor island had also failed to submit their pick or save there.

Every year here. Why do you bother signing up right and you don't pick and that you don't save it.

Now this is just the island that I am on what there's another island but I don't know how to access the numbers from that bonus island with your on both islands are you we split you in half and put you on both island Bay of Islands okay so then I get a login and potentially figure out who's left on the other islands just just out of profundity of people got eliminated between both islands. Could you provide for sure you're not sure you get your second login was headed saved on my computer where my pencil drawing there so I try he is in no idea if he can remember. But at least on the initial island of the archipelago meeting the original the OG if you well from the archipelago. There are 369 people that are already swimming with the sharks.

This would be a slight new blog we know there are plenty of sharks and and dinosaurs that swim in the water. I know where I'm going in week number two all even look at it while were sitting here because we know that week two kicks off on Thursday with the Chargers and the Chiefs right now a very popular pick is Kansas City. In fact, 89% of those people who are picking survivor pool are picking the Chiefs over the Chargers.

That's why I wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot pole.

Pittsburgh versus New England that would be like a crapshoot to me about Cleveland versus the New York Jets Cleveland is also inconsistent and I just don't know how I feel about it. I'm just I'm not. I'm not super competent in that when either.

Maybe Rams versus Atlanta the rams are actually home again, but the Falcons looks good they looked a lot more improved on defense to put pressure on the quarterback with James Woodson sacking him four times into the third quarter, the Raiders versus the Arizona Cardinals people are so down on Arizona. Now there's even stories coming out about how they don't practice with any intensity, and so there there a team that just got lopes it, which I idle that's true or not but that would certainly fall on Cliff Kingsbury shoulders or Buffalo versus Tennessee that he is super popular pick at the bills make their home opener in Orchard Park, New York. Right now Cincinnati in Dallas. 94% of the pics are in favor of the Bengals sounds about right at the moment at least I am really Bengals and Cowboys.

The sad thing is, the cowboys are also where it sad for this reason, they're playing their second consecutive game at AT&T in Arlington ends they could look to go into and lose two home games to start the season that's painful. I don't know though that the cowboys need to fold up shop and a lot of you are talking about how there there dine in week number one but I'm not sure that's the case, it's a really long season. A really long season, and if Prescott is back. They have high hopes for him.

You hear from Jerry Jones coming up in side of the next 15 minutes. They have high hopes for him. If he does return within the first month I still say the NFC East is highly and widely ends open up for grabs openly, vociferously, that didn't really work that is one of the big word. It's after hours with Emile are our home show, or live from the rocket mortgage Studios. Whether you're looking to purchase a new home or refinance yours.

Not even 15 minutes after that. Ask Amy anything is part of the home show, so get it. I want to finish going through what happened in major league baseball on Tuesday. Mike Trout did not Homer so there were is only one run scored by the Angels against the guardians was a big series for Cleveland and when you think about that race in the AL Central. It's got to be tight all the way through the Minnesota Twins actually took a combined no-hitter into the ninth inning on Tuesday, but were unable to take to close to close it out so it was a yeoman's effort with the pitching. They were able to beat the Kansas City Royals but did not get the no-hitter.

Either way, it's go time right this is this is crunch time and so the Chicago White Sox and played better lately, they've won seven of their last 10 but the guardians are matching their pay thing but a five-game winning streak now seven of their last 10 as well and don't forget, this is one of the youngest rosters in major league baseball Kirk McCarty gets the victory out of the pen on Tuesday.

This team is made up of a lot of spent a lot of time with your friends with guys I didn't quickly take in all the young guys on Vanessa my shortage of special so it's it's a great environment is formed to misapply togetherness overdue. The guardians the White Sox the twins all winning on Tuesday, but again guardians still atop that division. They put together another great surge 10 gains above 503 games ahead of the White Sox in the AL Central standing in the El Centro maybe not were not watching the race as much though this week. It comes into focus. Because it is the Brewers in St. Louis. All eyes on Albert pool halls.

Of course hundred and 69 RBI number 2199 for him second time. Maybe everybody wants all your single and currently on Cardinals radio and I tell you what I've heard all these calls before because I'm listening to every Albert pool's at bat on the Cardinals radio network with the legendary John Rooney and Company K MOX in St. Louis is the flagship there but they actually have one of the most extensive baseball networks in the country because that is a passionate fan base not want to miss his march toward 700 so he did start and play the entire game against the Brewers and think it was a ground out there was a strikeout that he went one for four in the loss, but his RBI single came early in that game.

However, the Brewers had more firepower and enough to be able to get that win over the Cardinals.

And so they're able to pick up a game in the standings and are now within seven of the cards. Adam Wainwright is pitching in their Wednesday matchup so that could be a game to watch or to listen to its after hours with Amy here on CBSSports right of the cubs are not part of any playoff races are not officially eliminated.

Like the Reds and Pirates are did you know that nationals read pirates all officially eliminated, mathematically eliminated from the playoffs and from any type of playoff race at this point in the season, the cubs are 22 games below 500 but they really enjoy playing the role of spoiler. They played their rival Cardinals top last week and now against the New York Mets swing drills, one field going back McNeil.

He looks up one second pitch 40 swings.

It's one of the right-center field going back double Apple will is not only with no soul centerfield in the cubs extent only now over the Mets 712 popped up side of the shortstop McKinstry on Jen to roll against the Mets. This time the cubs when one is a frustrating and studs baseball sometimes. Sometimes it happens, and it's a game of inches and when you combine all that stuff together in unison. It's just what that's Pete Alonso, the Mets are scuffling to be sure right now they've got. Once again, I should say they've got the Atlanta Braves nipping at their heels and the Braves are on the longest West Coast Rd. trip of all time. But it's it's working well for them now 17 of their last 10 as you hear on Braves radio there surging and it done is how many times a season. They did in fact leapfrog the Mets briefly last weekend. Right now, trailing by 1/2 game but same number of losses. So both teams have 54 losses. The braces happen to have one more win and we seen this problem before with the New York Mets where the offense just disappears the last season.

It almost felt like a foregone conclusion. Once the brazen Phillies found their groove. The matches did not have enough office to support their pitching staff, but when you got it Jacob McGraw who is actually taking the blame for a loss of any kind. When the Mets can only scrounge together one run.

That's a problem during the fourth and I got a couple guys on wasn't able to execute wanted to so on heroes and eyes on me. I needed to go other zeros and just wasn't able to put up zeros.

That's what it's come down to now, the Mets offense is so bad it really has been it's it just another meager, another meager performance by the offense in which they have just four hits and one run and so Jacob McGraw has to go out there and put up zeros that's were talking about here 10 strikeouts for the ground and his ERA are you ready for this. This is Jacob McGraw.

In a nutshell. 2.01 ERA and yet he picks up his second loss because the Mets offense refuses to perform for him. It's almost like they want to increase the degree of difficulty because he's that good. So why don't we just take the night off and let the ground do all the work I mean he came back for this event for an entire year he comes back, you barely eat you barely think he's missed a beat at all. He's brilliant, and yet he has to take the blame because he should've put up zeros.

No Mets even to get your act together or even a waste. Jacob pogroms return and I know Baxter's is on the IL. They said it was mostly precautionary but met the pain of a ton of money they've gotta get their groove back of the World Series champions. They know how to perform in a pressure cooker. Can the Mets go toe to toe with the champs. Who do I need to credit not it did it I did it cubs radio network exact statement on cubs radio and then I mention Braves radio with Ben Ingram as their play-by-play voice all right coming up the latest on Dr. Prescott's courtesy of Jerry Jones. I know you all love love love Jerry Jones and then net shut Lucy Justin Herbert on Patra Holmes because those were the two quarterbacks featured on the first game on Amazon prime Thursday night football actions are the first one I should say the first regular game Thursday night football shifting to Amazon prime come this week.

It's after hours with Amy on CBSSports you are listening to the after-hours podcast is we are in the home before the week but it. For those of you are waking up on your Wednesday happy hump day to you Thursday. I didn't use the start of week two in the NFL. Don't be like John on her Facebook page 2 says he's enjoyed all the football talk past tense but is ready to talk about other sports now. I would suggest you tune out under a rock for the next six month making an early appearance on the are I will not pray to it with QB news Jerry Jones is back to making his weekly appearance is Sean and RJ on 1053 the fan are Dallas radio affiliate and he gives us the plan for dad Prescott who will not go on IR because they have high hopes for him to return sooner rather than later. With that fractured the we will be putting him on our way we warning ration play within the next day we will not only the people that are ready to play quarterback for one who played all preseason cripple rush and greater real competition for got slowed provided to you with a hamstring issue but he should be through that now and so we got a lot of good snaps for those guys both in our practice session as well as old preseason game. For the most part, there will be no place for Jimmy garrotte below.

In fact the idea is if the Cowboys can just remain a full out for a couple of weeks without him.

They believe they are going to get back there whole thing there.

Gotta get back.

The problem is there's no guarantee that even if he does return that will be able to grip the football or throw the football.

The way that he is accustomed to. But that's Jerry Jones on 1053 the fan in Dallas. Our affiliate. The initial time. I remember we told you Jack to return. 6 to 8 weeks because I had the surgery immediately on Monday.

Jerry is saying that the doctors have given him in a glowing report and that now with the surgery done there even more optimistic so bump up the timeline maybe but there's always a caveat because you don't know how he's going to recover even as he begins rehab. I do know they love the best doctors in the country and the best technology and treatment that money can buy for the other quarterbacks on the roster. It's Cooper, Cooper cup, not him.

It's a Cooper rise or bus trip for the Note will a lot of rib and when will you give it our best shot is unlikely that we don't have any potential trade printing, or any not been in the in the middle, it's unlikely you have a veteran quarterback. Could get back in here and be ready to play as well as those guys could play will career careers. The practice closet as a starter and the backup now you remember that incredible money high performance where Cooper replaced Jack against the Vikings's family there was this really cool atmosphere and it was great, but what the Cowboys really need is for Ezekiel Elliott to bust out and have a couple of humongous games. What they really need is for that run game to set up the passing game. What they really need is for the offense of line to give Cooper rush times that he can find his receivers and what they really need is not to get super complicated.

They're still trying to find their identity of offense of this is a major blow, but if Jack is back in a month say there's no way the entity is already decided the Cowboys are the only team in the division to lose in week number one is after hours with Amy on CBS portrayed out there was some concern about Mac Jones.

He did play the entire game for the patriots of a brutal loss in Miami on Sunday but he did not speak the media afterwards because he had to have his back checked out? About whether or not he would be able to play in week two against the Steelers better.

You just going with the traders strutted back wasn't going to feel better that's good to now sound the same weather feels good or whether things are crappy. I suspect it was all business pretty edgy around the patriots facility this year. They do hate that trip to Miami or Bill Belichick take that trip to Miami is a lease they got out of the way but if you are the Dolphins. There is there's a lot of pride in being the patriots again starting at your season. That way for the path they take a major step back from where they were, in reaching the playoff and the questions will persist about the offense of coaching structure and why it's not Patricia who is calling plays and why there's no actual offense of coordinator yada yada yada to pursue the question. I really do, but he's not can answer it's it's after hours on CBSSports radio we start off week number two with Justin Herbert and the Chargers want to know against Patrick Mahon and the Chiefs also wanted to know and she and body and three touchdowns in three drives to start the game against the Cardinal and three touchdowns and three drives to begin the second half just to show everyone that the reports of the homes and the offense of the demise of the cheese were greatly exaggerated.

Justin Herbert is a lot of success in we do years so screwed up. To learn to watch and discuss which restrictors to try to change anyone's viewing habits. The fact that it's a game that streamed things like more and more now teams whether it be football or baseball or really any sport across the board there taking the money for the streaming companies and their doing these kind of droppings exclusive streaming Apple TV has got random games here and there.

They got a deal with major league baseball actually got their own TV crew. The problem is when the games are on Apple TV say there blacked out in the actual individual markets and so it's frustrating to a lot of fans who don't have.

I don't have Apple TV.

I do happen to have Amazon prime and I love Amazon prominent member of my life without Amazon prime, but I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who don't have priming yet Amazon is paying billions of dollars for the rights not just broadcast the games, but they've hired big time names to do play-by-play like Al Michaels like her curb street and they think the Lord away huge names in broadcasting, Andrew Whitworth, the Rams offense of lineman who won the Super Bowl then retired. He's part of the Amazon prime coverage so their pouring money in like it's burning holes in the Amazon pocket on the Amazon coffers and so will see looking forward to it. I'm not getting on this. I upgraded my TV to a smart TV in large part because there will be football and other sports that are streaming more and more moving forward. All that to say week two kicks off on Amazon prime with the Chargers at the Chiefs for the opener at arrowhead Stadium. Otherwise game in the slop in Chicago that was anything but memorable. Even as the Bears were rallying to score 19 unanswered point to get the favorite disco 49ers St. Louis offense of coordinator Super Bowl champion OC from the 2000 team. He was the greatest show on turf boss, the former head coach in the league. Micah markets he actually did an appearance with the 33rd team and we found on TMZ crushed Justin feel the Bears quarterback for week one. I'm just shocked, shocked at the prayers quarterback that one of them since bin Laden was it worth less unremarkable would be the kindest and Everson performs parkour and is open performs and serves like a completely awful a really good flight of the football performance is no quarterback to kid doing it all defensively shut them out basically for half pound lose hope you don't write another 20 so that's what he had to say about the Bears second year head of the second year quarterback.

But let me just tell you he no back on the Niners second year guy trailing if either of them snoozing about this goals really have supplied himself to good throw a quick decision to restructure the reader about him a mobile guy making you look like a full box tomorrow from wrongful amenities. The social what is he is not particularly good guy will run the wood to football, and special was assaulted you, Mr. goes completely so I don't report box due to medical schools. I know this will go up and we get better like him shall like to know.

I'd like to know what he does so well prison is Dr. Pastor have good skills takes a long time so himself, and throw the football.

Mrs. reviews roasters after crude rubber.

He's a hell of a player.

Wow, Micah markets, former head coach of the St. Louis Rams that he took over in 2000 after they won the Super Bowl. He was the offense of coordinator. It was the 9019 in the 2000 Super Bowl and then remember he was that coach when the Rams went to the following Super Bowl and lost to the New England Patriots and Tom Brady, but does not hold back on either Justin Fields or Trey Lance on the 33rd team podcast. We make huge headlines on Tuesday but we wanted you to. Other than that she's a hell of a broadcaster lists all of his fault, he could possibly come up with.

I've never been a fan of his and then other than that he's a hell of a player while sarcasm it's dripping it's biting. I will try. Sarcasm is my love my love language so I do understand what he saying I will try not to be sarcastic on the next addition of asking me anything at straightahead all you do is send your questions to our show Twitter after our CBS or to our Facebook page ready break you are listening to the after-hours podcast after hours with Lawrence time to asking any sort of about delaying or anything like that again, started it with that urinating down his leg or not. Urinating down his leg so no more of those types of questions are stories or anything like that. I'm telling you, tickling is torture. Just take my word for it.

After hours with Amy CBS.

Thanks for sending your questions to twitter and Facebook and J let's do it. So she went to the people know you know so Stephen wants to know what is. Just to clarify with the Yankees race. They were playing on the 13 Saturday. Hot Stephen wants to know to do chow down anything cooler and especially well I Italian sausage that I thought that was really delicious.

I've never been in the Ford MVP club before but the tickets that our sales department generously offered. These are not tickets. I could ever afford but they included passes to the MVP club, which is amazing because it was freaking hot and it was such great AC in the club. Let me borrow their hiding.

So we free waters and sodas would use clutch and then popcorn and baseball peanuts, you know the kind of talk about and they also had Italian sausage and burgers and on the concept their steak sandwiches 20 bucks I decided to opt for sausage instead of a steak sandwich, but the Italian sausage was Delish smuggling for stacks because most know what your favorite topic, she's provolone cheese.

I know that can be weird but I love it.

So on my burger.

There needs to be a slice of cheese melted needs to be melted so it goes on the burger either when it still on the grill or still in the pan just to melted a little bit milky melting mozzarella is my favorite. Then I also like to put onion so slice of onion as well as a slice of tomato and lately I do catch up as well, but lately like to throw some don't have to. Why like to throw some well without the catch up. I guess some fried egg on top and so Ellie to go catch up or will go Friday but probably not. The two of them together but yes burger is delightful.

If you never had it most underrated route to change the world and change the view of go to burger because if you haven't tried it all, you're missing out so the seasons are changing at becoming all. Let's hope Nancy wants to know. Have you ever visited an order. Well, it's a harvest activity which happens in the fall. You can't pick the apples in the middle of the summer because they're not ready to eat J just okay nature lesson for you. I have done it, but not in a very long time. Why, because if you like my friends always want to do stuff on Sundays during the fall and I can't do anything fun on Sundays during the fall.

I am Debbie downer on Sundays during the fall because all I do is take notes about football game. I just have met this new crowd of people and their there find that back I went white water rafting with them.

You do them on Sunday.

One of the text about how we can have football watch parties and also during the baseball playoffs wanted to go over like that I don't get to hang out you get to watch what you want to spend 12 hours taking notes of a football just it makes me so unpopular and uncool. But what made you anyway. I have been a very long time. I do know that upstate New York has some pretty incredible apple orchards and Apple pickers, and so maybe I should do that so that all work and no play does not make Amy a very boring and uninteresting girl I could pick up like it lets move on. I felt stupid enough as it is at the time of the air. Let's not talk about picking pumpkins pick pumpkins pickpocket pumpkins, pumpkins, pickpocket David wants to know if there was such a thing as a fantasy football broadcaster lead who would be your first overall pick Kevin Harlan wouldn't Harlan be your first overall. They absolutely would be my first overall is so versatile. He does everything from the NBA to college basketball.

He could easily do college football.

Even though he's not asked to do it but also the NFL and he loves that he has a passion for it. He does radio.

He does TV. There is no one more versatile maybe not a more memorable voice that his, though I will say I could go on and on and on in various sports about the number of play-by-play announcers that I adore. I would rather listen to them. Most of the time. Then watch on TV just mentioned one of them is just one of them. But John Rooney. I love to hear his calls of our pools at bats right now it he chases 700 home runs but yes Kevin Harlan would be should be the overall number one pick anyone else that you would put up against him a chance you might go with Chris, yet the panel is not a play-by-play guy but what I was, just the umbrella of broadcaster mom's favorite. I don't dislike Chris. I think he's great but he's mom's favorite my favorite is Kevin Harlan for sure, but I also think that Joe Buck is extremely talented. I don't know how many people were tuning into Monday night football simply because of Joe but I think the money that's being spent is is outrageous on broadcasters because honestly, and I am in this business. I don't think they make that much of a difference. I could be wrong. Maybe you tune in because of a particular broadcaster.

I think it happens more on radio that people to do it because they like a particular broadcaster so anyway Joe Buck is also extremely versatile for structurally for Howie Rose is amazing. Kevin Burkart is also amazing back and go on and on there so many afford it when they were not just talk about gaming out as they were talking about broadcasters like guys that said that desecrated me to be talking about anybody that that's a really wide swath cannot make myself the number one pick. Okay, I changed that. Sorry Kevin Harlan, you got company.

Oh, thank you Jay, thank you so this was Rick. Quick question follow-up because Chris need some help. Chris wants to know should I drop back Prescott. We picked up perhaps too low or wants what you need to pick up another quarterback you can't start a guy who's not playing but I'm telling you that you're going to lose your lead time you don't drop it though, there is at least mostly have an injured reserve spot right we can keep a guy who was injured or you put them on your bench and get another quarterback you were not to need another quarterback anyway for five weeks so I think you keep them and not keep someone else from having to go down the road. Chris what should I drop the Steelers defense now know I am a little bit peeved about it but okay while you all believe wants to know when mowing the lawn, you save the street spots for last. No I go in patterns I go up and down, back and forth. No, I don't know why would I do like the lines wanted to look needs, but I'm not worried about every single line being the exact same way.

I just I do like it to appear neat as opposed to drawing pictures of my lawn. I don't do that. We feel that what you think of the Cleveland guardians. I'm sorry Cleveland Browns new logo with the brownie. As I was sorry to know what you think of the Brown's new. I it's a little bit corny but cheesy, but I mean if they like in Cleveland.

I'm not the target audience of a loving Cleveland and he incites fear and trepidation in the visitors be part of the Brown's tradition for a while. It's just I was expecting a gigantic outfit midfield. I'd like to like different route that you love and then by all means let's go westward for rapidfire don't know or you says New Hampshire was just listed as the state with the highest literacy rate read a lot growing up were you a bookworm. Oh, absolutely. I read multiple books per week. My mom still reads multiple books per week, so she continues to be that, but yes, it was passed on to me from my mom, my brother and I are both huge bookworms we been supporters of public libraries for years and it wasn't until about 5045 years ago when I got back into reading that I started sleeping better. I read fiction before I go to bed and it really helped settle my brain. I love to read a book on a beach anytime of the year is one of my favorite things the entire world fire iced tea or lemonade lemonade. Preferably blackberry lemonade with vodka playlist or podcast.

Oh gosh that's tough right now. Go podcast cookies or chips anything with talk like my cookies and chocolate chip covered no dipping or chips and chocolates wings or ribs wings. I can't read the public.

I really love you to eat ribs in front of you and even then I might not eat ribs in front of yourself for getting back to totebag girl that loves my bag out towards or to take tax them like candy for all to what I might be the only person I know next to producer Jake doesn't like mint. We don't know yet. I unfortunately most toothpaste and less there mate for five-year-olds are meant I can think of bubblegum to the pace but now it to grow. So you have a sediment toothpaste now so right to exact wheezes feeling for my mom's purse, especially orange once those were our favorite.

Thanks for your questions. It's our home show after hours CBSSports
