After Hours with Amy Lawrence PODCAST: Hour 4

Good morning to you today. You know, a week from today, most schools will be in session, even if it did a number why now a lot of schools are already in session back in the board of the South schools been in session for almost a month. By the time they get to Labor Day blights for those of you are slackers and stragglers and don't start until after Labor Day old. It's common. Can you imagine in homes all over the United States a week from today.

Painful waking up in the morning early. When you haven't been awake early all summer so my next-door neighbors there great there. From: and they have two kiddos that I love their awesome.

There's so much fun and one of them is going in high school and then the daughter is going into junior high school. Her name is Barbara and she does not like waking up early the morning so I saw them on Monday evening Penny and I were outside watering flowers. Yes, Penny was ordering flowers and I stopped to talk to Barbara and her mom and I said when you start school. She said Tuesday meeting next Tuesday and I said are you excited owe her face. It fell. She shook her head what time you have to wake up 630. It was like painful for her to admit that. So yes it's coming. Actually, this is funny.

Maybe some of you feel this way or you have friends who feel this way a lot of my friends who have kids are's site that school is back in session, pick up around the house and it died about a delight to deal with them all day every day the course of the summer so funny that after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS sports radio. I just know I got vacation in 24 hour well 25 hours of are going to be technical 25 hours from now baby I will finally be on summer vacation. Keep an eye on producer J by the way, he tends to get sickly when I'm not here so if something goes horribly wrong. Well then you know someone let me know because I'm checking out somewhat naughty. I guess you can send me a tweet because I'm checking out know what a week later that year, the hospital, maybe you didn't McDonald's and Wendy's every day that wouldn't happen. I don't think it's after hours on CBS sports radio and we are inside the rocket mortgage Studios when you need cash out of your home in a simple way to get it rock and can even with the dwindling days of summer and they are dwindling. I still know that the weather is hot, it doesn't seem like it's breaking anytime soon.

I'm desperate for some rain in my neighborhood, but it just hasn't happened.

What happened what I'm trying to fly to Houston on Wednesday. Could you imagine yes just a few drawn soon as you're sitting in the plane. We had almost 0 rain negligible rain in two months. I have not mow my lawn 88 weeks. That's never happened to me except for one lawn weeks in the middle of the summer. I'm not mow my lawn like it's growing dry and brown and crusty. There's nothing to mow anyway so it's very strange women in any rain. It's a crazy drought but watch it poor. Just when I need my plane to take off as if the airline industry needs any other excuses for not taking on time give them any sort of opportunity there. Don't speak it into existence just as I don't mean I do speak many to speak. I'm on the radio up but I can't really not speak things into the universe will all take the rain out that it's a little bit of reverse psychology. Would you call it reverse jinx is that what you call even as the summer is coming to an end.

I'm not ready to stop taking pictures of clouds.

If you haven't seen my latest photo with some gorgeous clouds on display there even better at the ballpark, but they're my favorite subject. The summer there so photogenic she could check them out on twitter a lot radio or on our Facebook page after hours with Amy Lawrence. We talked about Erin judge will run number 50. We talked about show a Otani the go-ahead home run for the Angels in beating the Yankees.

But the loudest and most significant homerun came in Cincinnati at the Great American ballpark where there were almost no people to see it.

Next pitch to Albert as I feel will number 694 get the other way and he's now had runs off of different pictures. Anybody who's ever played this game of the Cardinals in two more runs. Albert pulls does it will not again no homework box on his watch. Oliver Marmol, whose younger, not quite 10 years younger. These 87 or eight years younger than our pools, but he's along for the ride as well.

Number 694 for Albert off 450 different pictures, which is now record broke the tie with Barry bonds. Italy is 50 don't run this season, but get this, he only needs six more six more in a month. What I count before 33 games left for the Cardinals. I think 33 games left roughly and so he is right there on the cusp to tie Alex Rodriguez which is moving into fourth book. Well time for fourth place all-time six to get to baseball immortality and become just the fourth in baseball history ever to club 700 home runs.

Meanwhile, Cardinals are crushing it and I'm still find that this first-place team whose 113 of its last 16 only drew 11,000 fans in Cincinnati. Now I get it there rivals but this is our pools of the Chase for history. It's yet stunning to me.

11,000 fans. I know it doesn't matter where he hit 700 when he gets to that point. I hope that he does it at home. Of course, because there will be no shortage of sitting ovations and curtain calls and that type of a feat. This feat should be celebrated and the march to history should be celebrated as well. Now he's getting a lot of support from his teammates from the veins in St. Louis were around major league baseball and right now you can see it all over his face. The smile that he wears this prescription is for certain viruses and nutrition is for special surveys.

One is especially going walking lodging living wholesaler is pretty close to going through so you can pretty cool that Tyler O'Neill on Valley sports Midwest. He had two more home runs last night actually in three RBIs of the Cardinals are in a great spot right now to the Brewers walked off and pick up any ground in the NL Central last night but just overall the way they've played coming out of the All-Star break and and the fact that they been so consistent both the pitching and hitting that that winning I'm telling you, it's Patty. It's contagious and you get addicted to it. When you're in a good spot to both the Cardinals emperors of 13 consecutive games, which means the spread in the NL Central remains the same at six games. It's after hours here on CBS sports radio same. Try to think of what else I want to talk about for major-league baseball will say that a little bit later. The biggest stories from the sports world on Monday came from football and from tennis so will get to the football coming out because Jimmy garrotte below will be staying with the San Francisco 49ers and while I do recognize why the Niners took this step. I also wonder about the implications for trade Lance for the Niners locker room for the Niners season and the expectations that they have on the season and had a chance to catch up with Shawn King, the former NFL QB and Super Bowl winning quarterback is a Super Bowl champion going back on Tuesdays of the Tempe Buccaneers. After about trade Lance and what this means for him as a guy who is supposed to be the undisputed QB one. But it's really interesting the way that the Niners and garrotte below compromised and met in the middle. So we'll get to that in 10 minutes here on CBS sports radio but Serena Williams holding court you want to talk about the love the adoration, the appreciation from a fan base.

New York where it sat. Yes she's beloved in Paris at Wimbledon in London but nothing like New York and I am so so happy for her that if nothing else, she got one victory on these U.S. Open hard courts so the fans weren't saying goodbye to her in a way that was sad or bittersweet some point she will lose it like she went U.S. Open title and earns major number 24 major win number 24, which would be could you imagine phenomenal you would have a swansong like Peyton Manning. A member Super Bowl L and then retiring, maybe that could happen Joshua about my first yes and you still will never go away. Serena is likely not to go away either. She hesitates to use the R word even though she's put it out there in the stratosphere that this is probably her last appearance or her last year on the tour for the word evolution because I feel like I'm at a stage of my life where I'm not necessarily retiring.

I'm just evolving from tennis and I do feel different, I think I was really emotional in Toronto and in Cincinnati and it wishes it was very difficult not saying it's not difficult.

Now it's extremely difficult. Still, that is actually love being out there and the more tournaments I play, I feel like the more I can belong out there that's a that's a tough feeling to have and to to leave knowing that the more you do it the more you can shine so but it's time for me know to evolve to the next thing I think is important because are so many other things I want to do center, etc. she's been vague about whether or not the U.S. Open is her final tournament pretty vague about it right you want to stay very because but she does get that first round victory in the crowds were amazing. There the U.S. Open center court. Arthur Ashe Stadium roof was open beautiful thing I've covered a bunch of U.S. Open's air and even Saturday. Actually, there was a major buzz around the U.S. Open sites. It's directly across the boardwalk from city feel which is where producer Jade I work for a baseball game and the old-timers day and there they were just wrapping up kids day at the U.S. Open and it was unbelievable number of people just the excitement coming out of their yet is a lot of big names missing but Serena is the Queen. She is changed tennis forever and in a way in last night she got everything she could've asked for, and more. I think when I walked out the reception was really overwhelming it was. It was loud it was. It was to fill it in my chest and it was a really good feeling. This is really on their forget and so I really meant a lot to me. I was just thinking like this is crucial really, and at the same time also thinking you know I still match to play and I want to be able to play up to this reception almost and it was so loud and I just was overwhelmed in a good way. And yeah, over the same time is like you to be focus. You have to be laser focused and Vanessa needs to do and that's what I try to do. I think that her legacy is really wide to the point where you can even describe it in words like she change the sport so much she's introduced people that have never heard of tennis into the sport and I think I'm a product of what she's done. I wouldn't be here with Tina Venus. You know her whole family and I'm like very thankful to her and I as trying to figure out how to submit into words, but I honestly think that she's like the biggest force in the sport and that's not like, intentionally China Lake make Fedor and Adele small. I just think like she's the biggest thing that will ever be in the sport. Naomi Osaka, who has indicated as have many other young tennis players that Serena is her idle three is the will. The reason that she plays tennis she change the look of the sport she change the feel of the sport she changed the way that many people play the sport, her power, her explosiveness, the athleticism that she and Venus displayed when they first came on the scene and really all the way through. She's 40 years old and she still winning matches at the major level.

Now, though, comes a pretty steep challenge. She will face the number two ranked woman in the world, Annette Cohen, Yvette Conte Yvette cultivate Cohen to vet.

I don't exactly know how to say it. Either way that's important.

Why meet support her family. But what's most important is that she will face arena in again a match in which the U.S. Open crowd will be all for Serena Williams. I'm really looking forward to it on and I think it's got to be one of those matches this year that I haven't had too many where I just have you know, no pressure on me and I'll just get to enjoy and play as good as I can on the day I mean I'm gonna fight as hard as I can. For every point, and I'm really can enjoy the atmosphere being out there against the greatest player of all time and I think it's such a great opportunity and I'm really excited and we looking forward to it.

She says no pressure about that, but certainly she's secondary should she's a minor piece of what will be this unbelievable. Almost Broadway experience emotional performance for Serena Williams as they will be until she's done, whether it's in the championship at the end of the fortnight, or whether it ends on Wednesday. Fans obviously taking every opportunity to let her know how much they care about her and appreciate her and she and her sister are playing in the doubles draw as well. I've seen them play doubles before the U.S. Open in person. It's awesome.

I mean they do deftly have the sister sister connection that makes them so good and so much fun. You can find me on Twitter a lot radio coming up an about-face from the San Francisco 49ers engine bigger below. He's not getting it traded anytime soon. Annie's not get treated less. He agrees to it.

I'll explain coming up. It's after hours on the future is here electric is no Audi been LTE trust vehicles don't just elevate your drives. The electrified new Audi each run Q4 models are starting to arrive at out event even more impressive in person style performance and uncompromising attention to detail makes for an incredible driving experience zero director missions makes it all better get out event today and discover the perfect Audi for your lifestyle.

It started out event.com. Let's start something great Tuesday morning here on CBS sports radio you are listening to the after-hours podcast left looks like you are charged go use on Niners radio Greg Poppel with the play-by-play and you will potentially have more to me groveling touchdowns to call the season because about-face the Niners and Rob Lowe agreed to restructure his contract.

Instead of trade-in. The biggest story. One of them going back to really the last regular-season stories industry leads was drafted by the Niners in spring of 21 that ultimately he was dead man walking or if you well. He was the incumbent, and that this year even with a year left on his deal, he would not be in either. He said to bind the Niners. The Niners said about him and now what as he and wait what the sides agreed to restructure deal that actually will put him back on the practice field. He hasn't practiced.

He's been cleared since that shoulder surgery but is not been going through drills or practicing because they didn't want to get hurt since they were waiting for a trade partner but now she bigger below will serve as the backup to train Lance in exchange for taking less money.

He gets no trade clause meaning the Niners can't flip them to any team that they want and he also has a no tag clause. They can't franchise tag and next year that would pay a lot of money it would keep them from going someplace that he wanted to. So theoretically, he'll be a free agent who will be courted in this off-season next off-season. I'm sorry and will have finally control over where he goes member.

He was drafted by the patriots traded by the path to the Niners.

He did not a big contract with them what they've moved on and now he wants to have some control so they gave him control in exchange from taking less money and who knows, he could end up starting again. The fact is known as anything bad to say about them in the locker room and so this is not a it's not the optimal situation for the Niners. They probably would've like to get something foreign, but it's also not going to destroy their locker room. It's after hours here on CBS sports radio had a chance to catch up with former NFL QB and Super Bowl champion Shawn King.

He joined us from the visa network in Vegas couple hours ago and I asked him his reaction to Jimmy Groh below sticking around 100 white move will comparable will your letter alone where all porthole about dogs. Talk about your employer drug and have a lot of ago when they look. Well much work to regrow profit with the rest of your offer will also want to walk below $212 million goal job growth hormone file walk will go will compete below the roof or walk all one goal Groh below piece are you investing in this young QB because you wanted to get better or is it still competition in your eyes all great God like we were in the locker room 100 Whelchel wanted to do blood vote for what will your product and what about well draw blood but don't write about how to handle and barely reflect on computer golf would also "our what's really good quarter, but one thing that will you said that because I compared the situation Cleveland Baker's exit with the way that Jimmy Groh below is handled his business in San Francisco but also the fact that you do not hear one bad word about GVG from his teammate trailing. It seems like their teammates are real comfortable with the situation to which obviously helps inside the locker room will or will go well and for short or not. Borton walked a little girl allow for walk below what the starting quarterback Mark here so what really smart so much. A young quarterback called great start: interesting Shawn King is a former NFL QB and a Super Bowl champion with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It's after hours here on CBS sports radio so Sean that if you are Kyle Shanahan, what signs are you looking for that you need to make a change that approach going ready work on all what would know all our quarterback. Point blank them for were not dollar on a litter grouted plate one got right.

What happened is because we have Jim like what social you coming over will probably listen to every one for you is still good law: Pokémon what Shawn King, former NFL QB Super Bowl champion. We also do just ask him about Tom Brady being number one on the NFL top 100 voted by his peers.

Tom Brady's amazing but the number one player in the NFL with Erin Dalbey number two with Aaron Rodgers being number three with jobbing to number eight. What more was John King about the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback competition does Mike Tomlin actually know will find out you're coming up and two teams that he has picked teams to watch. He's got one dark course making to the Super Bowl to tell you what else you have to listen to the podcast.

Sean was great after hours Amy Lawrence.com John King is with visa network. Yet his Super Bowl prediction is one you will not hear anywhere else.

Just trust me, coming up a prank that scared the crap out of the Kansas City Chiefs. Rookie it just me, it's hazy that could hit you where really goodness. And Tom Brady addressing those reports that he was maybe going to the Raiders or the Niners or a myriad of other teams not named the Buccaneers you are listening to the after-hours podcast. Use these after hours with Lori will touchdowns that counts soon soon, very soon, it's after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS sports radio Wayne Larrabee, the play-by-play voice of Packers radio, but of course Mark was Valdis Gatling MVS is now a member of the kids city cheese. Now he's new to the cheese but is not a rookie pranks the kind that cost you and embarrass you, those are saved and reserved for actual rookies. The Chiefs there prank apparently came from the mind of MVS because of what happened to him when he was with the Packers haven't seen the tweet sky Moore is a rookie wide receiver with the Chiefs and he put how to tweet from his account with this caption.

When the waitress hand you the bill for rookie dinner.

The total is exorbitant and Mark was Valdis Gatling picks it up from there and tells the story saucer like this aboutone of those old friend of Bill's card is declined.

Positive what's left that is in the room except when initially yes embarrassing for sky Moore because the total of this fake tab $22,730 range beforehand with the restaurant a phony bill 18,000 for food to grant for wine and the waitress delivers it to sky Moore at the end of the night and so nobody told ahead of time and here he is scrambling trying to pay this bill.

Your card gets declined to call your bank you call people. So apparently in the case of sky Moore Marquis as they brought the bill out. They rate is card twice and got declined. He called his financial advisor on the phone with the bank and then we let them know was just a prank at a joke.

MVS says that sky Moore was squatting, sweating, sorry sweating for a good five minutes is cruel and unusual punishment that after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS sports radio.Tom Brady.

He's no doubt been a part of many pranks on younger players. Players are half his age for heaven sakes, but rules apply to different peeps like he gets to go away for 11 days in the middle of training camp better than him retiring right now he's the number one player on the other. 100 so shows you the respect that fellow players and athletes have for you is some of that bleep regarding the reports that he was nearly a rater and by reports that mean data white telling the Bronx the Gong Show the Chromecast that he'd worked it out for Brady to join the Raiders when he had indicated he was exiting New England and was looking for a new home and Dana White with the validation of Bronx as both Brady and Brock were headed to Las Vegas to be Raiders. So now that the media has access to Brady again.

They want to know about all these rumors and maybe nine or used to be that the Dolphins what about those since I came this organization. It's been amazing. You know, to spread amazing experience for me to come to this place of you supporters. I have long for the time you read all the stores but always different places.

I was supposed to go or could have gone on what I was going to go to one place, which was known think this whole organization. Those that all the conversations that we've had over a period of time.

I chose the right place for me and other product effort that everyone is put into make the relationship work in Joel's been amazing. Jason's great friend of mine, Bruce Todd, all the coaches spent amazing relationship grateful to everybody for allow me to come down here and experienced this part of the life which you I look back and would probably be incomplete. Had I not had it so happy to have. I believe him when he says I'm happy here.

This is the right place for me. I'm glad I didn't go anywhere else. This is an incredible now three years of my football experience on football light. I believe all of that ground to the same thing he wouldn't change because they want to Super Bowl bites whose line he was only ever going to go to Tampa Bay, then data.

White and Cronk heard not telling the truth. I get it, is what Brady has to say, but I did. I please forgive me for this. Call me cynical if Grogg is indicating that data white version of the Raiders connection with Brady is true and accurate.

I mean, maybe he only ever signed the dotted line in one place, but there were other option is anything I don't know the it's still funny. No joke that was good as the bells get from Saturday night live during deflate gate and it's still funny. I wasn't even aware that could be inflated and deflated so much every damn second of it.

But at least we got that skit about the air pressure in the ball of nerves.

There's one more. I'm not a science, computer science, to what we all do this had happened because it had made the rounds on social media in the web but I think our former technical Dir. who course predated a producer jagged many others. He loved that skit so much that I couldn't go to shows without him dropping those in and he knew how much I would laugh every single time we heard fake Tom Brady for months, months, whatever he wanted to derail me or make me laugh.

He would drop those is my absolute favorite and producer Jay knows that sometimes I do that in my personal life.

The only one who laughed about the only one who knows where it comes from, but somebody will say something crazy or off the wall and I'll go yes and good morning to you too. On a Tuesday, my gosh, we don't have time to do an extensive QB news but do you believe that Mike Tolbert already knows who these Steeler starting quarterback will be Mike but you guys my cohabit today again like a knee-jerk reaction to statements following professional procedure will evaluate the game will meet with the front office people will have discussions or will talk internally. Will talk external possibilities will go through our normal procedure. This time of year that will disclose it to you that always would be quite honest with. Oh I love Mike Tomlin. Why can we have 30 other coaches like Mike Tomlin. This is he is so units so unique, there was no one in the world like Mike Tomlin. People ask me all the time whose an interview that he would love to do that you never have, and generally I go with some of my sports icons from when I was growing up. Larry Bird always interviewed. I coveted though now I think he really shies away from all of them. I never had the chance to interview Steffi Groff course like she was playing back before I was really in the sports industry that was her heyday, but she's my favorite female athlete of all time, never the chance to talk to John Elway that we still very much involved in football.

These are all from my childhood and when I was growing up high school, college right now the answers Mike Tomlin, can I just have one sitdown interview with Mike Tomlin in my career would be complete at that I would retire. It definitely does. And in fact I nearly retired from Twitter when Star Wars retweeted me too late to that was also amazing. Once that happens, I really didn't need to do anything else on Twitter again wanted you to hear really quickly before he went up to the top turned the corner and scary Terry of the Washington commanders and practicing in the wake of teammate Brian Robinson shot in what was an attempted robbery and carjacking in DC over the weekend. You can't really predict the source. It seems like like situations like this are some of things that we've been through as a team over the last couple years is been out of nowhere. Associate is hard to just predict stuff like that.

Is this happening, but when it does happen. We try to come together. We try to reach out to the people who are affected. I'm a big believer in prayer so I'm from a big prayer person somewhat continue to pray for those people in the situations and you know life is hard. It really is, and it's is a think you know that our position will rotunda that a higher standard and we play a kids game but you pay a lot of money a lot his attention on us know people can't forget that we are still human sometimes and things to affect us on and off the field.

So we just try to support each other and beat you know as much as we can and I think we have a great support system from our coaching staff and the other guys in this locker room just got a lot of guys a resource you can lean on nothing that's really important. We're going to a lot of diversity and use as a leader I try to put myself in a position to make myself available to help in any way that I can, I appreciate that candor and honesty from Terry McLaurin.

He's right. Life is hard and they are human beings and very often we forget that, whether it's in the media. Whether it's a spans, but this is a real life situation that Brian Robinson and his family have to deal with and think about the fear. Think about the trauma of what he's been through. Forget try to play football again. Though the commanders haven't ruled him out as returning the season but shot twice in his lower body on Sunday. The physical, emotional pain, a real-life situation so good for Terry for being frank and honest about it.

It's after hours on CBS sports radio
