After Hours with Amy Lawrence PODCAST: Hour 3

First show the work week and I don't think were halfway through all the subject material.

Holy cannoli cannoli like cannolis but that would actually it sounds good right this minute that after hours with Amy Lawrence. I promise coming up.

We got some photos from our weekend excursion as well as a couple more stories to share. Pretty crazy. That the old timers game overshadowed the actual major league game that was digging place but it was the first time in nearly 30 years and you do not be a Mets fan to appreciate the array of talent and stories and generations in eras and teams and the respect and the honor I actually wore Red Sox hat to Citi Field in honor of Pedro Martinez because he is a Mets old hyper coming up with some really neat photos and also couple stories like I say, they retired the number of Willie Mays. He only played two years in New York. A final two years of his Hall of Fame career. He could not be there but his son was there so that was amazing.

We got Aaron Rodgers again talking again. My gosh, that's not part of QB news, though, because I don't want it to be. We do have actual QB news is more ancillary. 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 home loan solutions that fit your life rocket after hours with Amy Lawrence on Facebook on YouTube on twitter. You can find me a lower radio buckle up peeps. We are not even two weeks away from the start of the 2022 NFL campaign so you be you know that we are just days away from the bills kicking off at the Los Angeles RAM Thursday night football from so by Stadium, home of the Super Bowl champion, no joke, it's a week from Thursday.

So you're ready and to that end, final-round of preseason games taking place over the weekend. Tom Brady did play he looks fine. Let's not worry about Tom Brady and whether or not he's prepared for his 47th NFL season, but it was interesting to hear from him for the first time about his 11 day hiatus. His sabbatical is vacation time away right smack dab in the middle of the preseason, he keep getting questions about where he was what he was doing while he was away so personally and I was got different situations are doing was so real have really new challenges for life for 45 years old man going on.

So try to figure out like the pressure can you know so you continuous process. I don't know if he's being serious and we know he was on vacation that that parts been confirmed. Maybe not for the entire 11 days, but I can certainly empathize with. I'm 45 years old man. I got a lot of belief to do that led to believe going on. Each through some of the younger teenager in the early 20s and their biggest concern is where you hang out on Friday to get on the Friday night but their biggest concerns are where the father to me and it's not real complicated when you're in your early 20s for a lot of young men not all, but here's Tom Brady's got multiple kids that a wife doesn't really want to be playing any business ventures and everything else in. I understand. I spent most the weekend stressing out over my dog and her insulin so yeah the more responsibilities you have, the more belief you have going on for the same time, it's super funny to hear him say that I'm 45 years old. I got loudly going to the after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS sports radio.

I don't know that Baker Mayfield has a lot of belief going on.

He certainly gone through the belief this off-season is divorce and emotional exit from Cleveland only to land in Charlotte where he has to go through a quarterback competition with another former topographic.

In fact, they were selected in the same round in 2018. What we know Baker Mayfield beat out the door and old and he actually showed up with a pretty impressive performance in the final tuneup before his new team faces his own team to start the year.

You did a nice job football you like about figuring out just a place of study you know you can't tell it to replace was a drop in completion of an option to touchdown me a plate of objects is an old writer was there skate made the plate, some good some bad overall little sloppy recall. My own pressure but room for improvement and look back up to press against her own defense in your game plan for different teams little different, so each each game I'm looking for improvements and adjustments within the system so that is just getting started with Bennett feel comfortable with the knowledge of it, not just a matter of going out and seeing it and putting in an action. We did hear from both Matt role as well as I think it was Scott Fitterer. The GM when they decided Baker had won the starting job. How prepared he was. Even when preseason kicked all training camp started he already knew a good portion of the playbook. That is another indication that Baker has matured as a quarterback as a leader as a guy who wants to be sure that in Carolina the same tumultuous tenure as he did in Cleveland. Not all on him. I'm not saying it's all on him, but definitely wanted to be calm her and I like to point out that his feet were as calm as they should be.

I don't believe the two things are related but after Sam Donald find out he has lost the starting gig to Baker Mayfield. He suffers a significant ankle injury does have a high ankle sprain. Terms of the length of that were not sure of the exact length we sent though those images to specialists to try to give us to gauge it.

But again, it does look like a significant injury that could take some time, high ankle sprain sock. They are the worst possible kind and there's really nothing you can do because all all healing is through rest right and so because it takes longer you can get out a sheet you can put on weight.

There's just not much you can do if your ankle needs to be completely rested.

This is a tough blow and the recovery varies for some guys it's a little weaker but recovery time generally takes a month or more. When you're talking about a high ankle sprain. So backup quarterback Sam Donald gone for at least a month. That corral are they going to make a quarterback move that Walker so not an optimal situation for the Panthers.

Now, even though Baker is there actual starter and of course you all know that I'm starting to pay attention to week one. The schedule, but this is one that the schedule makers anticipated Carolina hosting Cleveland at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte Sunday, September 11. It's after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS sports radio.

Another injury Gary to tie Rod Taylor where he gets lifted up off the ground by defender and slammed it down on his back here sides and coach Brian Dave all should be okay. I don't think there's anything just landed hard and talk to halftime. Many studies over Taylor was actually starting the Giants preseason finale against the Jets on Sunday because Daniel Jones did not play until the Jets rookie defensive end Michael Clemens got pics of Bob and then slams it down even as he is rolling out of the pocket a little bit the past, for what that's worth. But this was it looked painful. He stayed on the grounds of the giant medical staff got to him able to jog off the field but did not return to the game, though he seemed like he was okay, moving around better in street clothes in the second half. Also, not what you want your backup quarterback goes down.

It's certainly not as significant as when you're starter gets hurt.

You know the backups are always just one snap away from being called on. They have to be right there. Every time the season starts.

I keep a running tally of the number of teams that use multiple quarterback because of injuries or ineptitude. Trust me, it's two thirds of the league or more every single year.

It's not injuries that the patriots can point to for their offense of ineptitude in their last preseason game, they did not have a touchdown against the Raiders or by the way finished up a perfect preseason for the first time in their franchise history. Instead, there were three turnovers by the patriots offense and the initial series run by Matt Jones were absolutely brutal.

No more left it on purpose. You 201 certainly practice what we played after tonight over Susan DeLong a lot of things here, but will show scope turn all over simply feel we should play better at this point except the guy with the film so we can do better and try to get it all together and that's what happens just want to alter an extra better all comes out to you individually. I think we all can play better than once that happens collectively to look a lot better.

The opening series run by Matt Jones. Three plays -9 yards, second series interception third Series III it out for theories of field-goal fit theories which was in fact Jones another short drive with you better make time and the thing I know this is going to turn into the lake for each response and solution of all what they would just name it. Offense of coordinator who would call plays all the time. This would be a whole lot easier. It must be because here it is a play against documentation is right there former OC who had his raters looking in tip top shape even without their car, but the idea that the patriots must call it offense of coordinator by specific title and that he must be calling the plays all the time to be easy. Call back excuse for why the patriots often sucks. I just don't believe that's the case. See Bill Belichick responding already.

He was prepared he was. He was answering those questions long before we ever brought them out. You are not subject don't think the social media reason.

Come on, let's be smarter than that.

Wait to see what happens in the regular season. Now here is something scintillating. The patriots open Miami in week number one below. Our very first theories of the dolphin final preseason game 51 yards to Tyree kill he ends up going six and 721 yards and a touchdown on their first theories, but any did play the first quarter full of people were talking about watching what that big gold, a bomb, but I did that big pass to Tyree when We Were Given Way, Mike. Mike didn't necessarily tell me who to go through with the ball but for me it was one of those deals that if we got a specific coverage from their defense that regardless of who was on Tyree Gore or not we want to take the truck and so we got the premier look of what the play consisted of and that's why we took the shot before I had even seen its producer, Jay told me about it and observed what J couldn't quite reach would like to request try to go for like one of those classic 85 your touchstones in the homes would, lead them into a zone as to turn around and come get depressed but these can be seen and it was a post route that turn into a curl route play with the most you may very well be accurate, but he definitely does not have the same arm strength.

As Patrick homes and and that's the point that Jay is making and made to me on the phone and I've seen it. Tyree get the stop and come back for the football, I had to curl around the defender to make sure he caught even went down to the ground so he was not on his feet to continue running.

So it's not the same arm strength, though he may be the most accurate quarterback on the planet dolphin posting the patriots in week number one Justin Fields going into year two with a Chicago Bears new head coach, new system, but three touchdowns and a near-perfect performance when he was on the field in the Bears final preseason outing is execution of all parts no longer dredge up a great job on the routes so Jim just sexualized football you notice everything up was just appeals no longer a rookie and he is the quarterback member.

They were shocked to get them when they drafted him in Chicago last praying.

Can he be the franchise QB the face of the team that they are looking for Malika.

He's a rookie. One of the most popular opinions about this upcoming season is that Malika will take over for Ryan Tannehill at some point we know he is the heir apparent. I entail is no more guaranteed money.

In fact, is this baby last year's contract by Malika Willis looks fantastic in preseason to this point to B- it was better than the first couple preseason days as far as missing and park it in just you know trying to go to different student even though like weed and convertible third downs just as they were given a slow start.

DeLong look so just down a couple times and it just took off and sloughed for what we could get to the point at the end of the for as long as possible and remain a pastor and that's what was so frustrated by the first two games.

Think was a remainder oppressor. As long as I wanted to, which was not alone to get open down to people, early nurses known won't so evaluating himself in the final preseason game and the Titans have given him given him a timeline of time on the field. They allowed him to play to play to work out some kinks technically not even still, the official backup trying to nail but I wanted to be that way and so far the jump from liberty to the NFL is not as precipitous as you would think that you chicken wings. He's been very impressed that I can't wait to see Malika Willis in the NFL is after hours here on CBS sports radio. Another popular opinion is that Kenny Pickett will take over at the starting QB for the Steelers that point this season. We still don't have a ruling from one Mike Tomlin about who the starter will be depending upon who you talk to Mr. Behnke is best.

There a lot of people who love what they seen from the rookie Kenny Pickett. We now so that's one quarter quarterback competition. It remains open, but we do now have a ruling from Pete Carroll in Seattle going to start job with the time of time from Sukkot. Mr. Forster drew just as real time. It has been for so clear about the settlements will let you know so little by that's going wasn't a major reaction thankful for the opportunity and grateful, but you will have a lot of work ahead of me was mama certain start to grow. When James and also suggested one in the process, but this is competitor euros this point I was you wanted out there you guys stuff on the field and show you can do in this one, but now it's my job to have his back best to champion, never to find ways to make this a better and make myself better. The NFL set up specifically for Russell Wilson to return to Seattle for week number one that is the Monday night matchup.

The Broncos that is looming field now in Seattle with the 12 man and Gino Smith as the new quarterback for the Seahawks. I say friends from New Jersey who are flying to Seattle to watch that gave Mr. Mr. there taking their 80 something-year-old mom because she loves Russell Wilson who knew him. He is Mr. unlimited he's got fans of all shapes and sizes and ages so that's one of the marquee matchup a man. There are many other week one schedule. Have you looked at it yet producer day.

Do you have the week one schedule memorized, you know, it's a requirement of working here and after hours yet. I'm sure I will do much of this week to see jobs and by we go on you you not like to. I barely look at the schedule until like a few days before. This is the most I looked the week one schedule since it came out the Rams and the bills football notes that we have. I would say to surprise you should come to expect it. Now we do have a show announcement that will get to. Plus your never to believe whose dad was at Matt's old timers game on Saturday. This pretty cool. It's after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS sports radio you are listening to the after-hours podcast you saw last year maintain stop find ways of success on the way.

So you guys open this year will be different where you know where you all from you shortcuts from all having all those guys use these after-hours Lord dethrone Patrick Holmes is for some reason the cross hairs of former receivers who left and moved on to other QB's are now raving about the situations there in and that includes bowtie retail as well as Amy Watkins OCV wasn't denigrating homes. He was simply saying that Aaron Rodgers is on another level, however, know that you really need to be poke in the bear that is Patrick Holmes the second and he talks about the possibilities of endless possibilities for this year's Chiefs offense. It's after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS sports radio for a second there at Citi Field on Saturday afternoon. Producer J and I were hoping maybe thinking that Patrick Holmes the second might be in the house because his father Patrick Holmes the first, the senior was honored as one of the old timers with the math really cool and I'll bet that the huge cheer that one up at Citi Field was in large part due to the name on his jersey, not because all of those fans of all ages remember Pat Holmes playing for the Met J. Do you remember Patrick Holmes playing for the Mets. I do not write. So that's my point is I think he got such raucous cheers because people all know who his son is doing her part for you but here's the cute thing that Holly Rosa said he's the voice of the Mets on radio, but he was also emceeing this old-timer ceremony from the field and he said it and he's at a little blurb on everything.

Old-timer is really cool but he said that Patrick Holmes used to be followed around by his son in the clubhouse. It was it was it was pretty cute.

So that would kindly and there were so many unbelievable names that were brought back to be part of this old-timer state Mike Piazza Mookie Wilson probably got the loudest cheers, but being so honest here on pretty sure that the old timers got more cheers from the fans in the actual team dead when they played later in the night, it seemed like people were tired Lowell does, I'll know it is where the Mets fan, so I went. I love Citi Field. I love the old timers saying I'd I gave the tickets to Jay as a thank you for the one year that that he's just that you're on the show that we work together. I have to J, that is, do you feel like the old timers got more cheers that the actual Mets did in their game against the Rockies could seem like the crowd got really quiet later in the game during that game. I think that was situations work on. Everyone got older energy early in the game started and it was what you were saying was a kind of a slow first-inning knitting took like an hour so's I get out of the shower so I think everyone was going to grill hyped up the booze was flow in early November and it's on the day and who was the alcohol you little bit, it's hard to resume her but it was amazing, yet was a really cool day. The weather was perfect, so hot, it was deathly hot as we went to Boston. It was 98° plus heat index at first pitch OMG is warm but it was a really nice evening. A really pretty sunset. I got some great photos of clouds. Of course you know me and also moment even before they started the old timers game and and Jade I really surprised I did know this is coming. We really enjoyed this really raise 24 Will Take Pl. in the corner where Willie Mays number 24. I haven't had a chance yet I didn't. Well, we just been busy and I had to write my CBSSports minute but I promise you before the top of the hour photos of not just that Willie Mays, retirement ceremony, but from city fields on both Facebook as well as on twitter. I did post a photo though of my favorite Pedro Martinez on the mound again at old timers day. He laughed and smiled the entire time was different than that steely staring intensity that he used to bring to the mound. He's one of my favorite baseball players of all time. It's a little bit odd to see him as an old-timer with the Mets that we had a couple of good years there and I cheered for the Mets when Pedro was on the field and when he was on the roster and now he's an analyst. Of course, will Hall of Famer, but also an analyst for MLB network and Neil talk about baseball anytime, anywhere. He's a great ambassador for the game. He was talking little bit about the two aces for the Mets today.

Max serves her and Jacob Graham stumbles me in particular. I felt like I had unfinished business. So today I was quick to ask two of the most fun at the pictures that we have in the team which is Jacob Grauman much scarcer normally for much this summer did I said can you get it done for me as I feel like you will something this business would be.

We didn't go up there to evaluate our time to evaluate tools out there. I consider there will huge amount of respect from the youngest of the oldest to everyone, but to have the opportunity to share my time with some of my heroes from the 80s and to be able to share with so my teammates and X teammates and co-lead from the Mets and share the same uniform is a little over an owner and I'm strongly proud to have been part of the Mets were to uniform and I'm just praying to God that they bring back the World Series champion himself with the Red Sox and Hall of Famer, but he clearly is emotional about the mat and he regrets that they couldn't get it done. And so he's asked mashers are Jacob did Rob to get it done for him and then you hear Pedro, who was always talk about history and how important history is to him and how important his idols and certainly guys who played in a major league baseball from the DR and who pitched but in general he's always had a great honor and respect for those who came before him, and so I do what I do when I go to other stadiums.

I try to root for the home team's I can be part of the fun, but I was allowed and a bit of a throwback fan myself there when Pedro was introduced as part of the old-timer ceremony and even though Jane, I well me.

I drag producer J Shake shack because that is my field. Would you like to tell them why we stood in line at Shake shack for there was a long line, we got up to the counter at Shake shack and place the order and getting there for Otto. 10 minutes because it had to be a diva with his order diva symbols request that I could possibly have a bunch of Shake shack burgers made something special like my mom whenever we go to a restaurant is not on the menu so it took 10 minutes for them to give you a plane burger with cheese. I just want to just use the tomato off of the burger and that way my burger still would've been hot by the time we ate and I would be eating the fries off of your container before we could like, get out of there yet that we got chic shack right because the line was like an hour long.

Later, when the old-timers were off the field. So we got there and I got my chocolate shake but I'm just saying my burger was not anymore because way to wait for diva Jay to get a burger with nothing but his toys literally pumps out how many hamburgers every five minutes taking Dell because they make the burgers that are on the menu shack burger which now we had to wait for you to get a special burger like health concerns like like your bed occur something you keep you credit is given me the lettuce and tomato.

It would really do think that it would cause an issue with them. I thought that was good normal crust just because the next time you can't will creek like do you want to be a diva you just take something on the menu and take off on the menu know it was like a chicken sandwich make the burgers and they are like generating dozens of burgers and on their menu know you should rethink it what customers always right, no, not at Shake shack.

Why did so for you to just take the lettuce and tomato on me. I just didn't think I can get it without it sure and my hope is, it wasn't easy and illusion told the guy like oh don't worry about it and I have a glitched out the duties of told you that extra tomato and lettuce on my burger. I hope your burger was hot and steamy and delicious when you got it because mine was no longer hot and steamy and delicious.

It was different. It was great. What will you one of us had a hot burger said it was more delicious because you bought it. So thank you for that.

However, next time we're are we are eating dinner.

You just need to order something on the menu and take what you don't want the pizza come.

We are not getting pizza no line pizza and cupcakes both delightful foods, but they do not need to be combined into one package. I need to find out for myself wanting. There was mud everywhere. It was a great night for more than 42,000 people at Citi Field. Nice word to the old-timers were far more popular current Mets, especially with people on the way thing at much everything but they did when until at least the crowd went home happy and I got to where my Red Sox fan to honor Pedro Martinez boom it's after hours with Amy Lawrence. You are listening to the after-hours podcast after hours with Lawrence on I'm thinking more in a very strong as a compliment.

Thank you. More think Lewis will break that morning and keep on trucking. Lawrence can only be 552-1246 there's only one left.

I broke the news. Not my kiddos on Sunday morning needed the reminder but I did break the sad news to my kiddos again.

They gave me dirty looks as much as you get dirty looks from first and second third graders is that time of the year again and that means football as well as look at it that way yes the summer is ending, but it means football and football weather and I'll just be honest, it's been so hot and dry in my neighborhood all summer that I am more ready than usual to bid farewell the summer weather. I love the beach.

I'll give you that. But I don't need to be blazing hot to be the beach and back. I prefer the beach in the spring and the fall actually fall more than the spring but yet it's been so hot and I don't like humidity pending IR we are anti-summer heat and humidity so we had spent mostly dry. Get that there is more rain, it would be quite so bad. But at least Regina is still turning out tomatoes. Oh my goodness, my tomato plant. Her name is Regina. She is loaded with green tomatoes and I pulled six) tomatoes off of her last night so she is happy as a clam club and watering her like nobody's business but yes we are days away from the start of the NFL season actually because were at the end of August. Today, Monday is my sister-in-law's milestone birthday. She's celebrating see my brother in Iceland. Here's a very popular destination now and so she and my brother are in Iceland in Reykjavík, but also taking a bunch of excursions around so Veronica, happy birthday to you, love you my sissy. That's what I call or we call each other since depot we known each other since college. That's where she met my brother as well.

So it's like I grew up with her.

It's after hours with Amy Lawrence 855-212-4227 on twitter Halo radio and also on her Facebook page after hours with Amy Lawrence. I promise. Photos by the top of the hour.

I said where to you.

You will have them on Facebook as well as a couple new ones on Twitter we did a really good time going to Citi Field on Saturday.

It's one of my favorite ballparks anyway but you go and I have the opportunity to see so many old timers, I mean just awesome. The cheers and the respect but a lot of guys that maybe you had forgotten about her surprise when they were introduced. Mike Piazza definitely got the loudest cheers.

That is the case, but he was not the only one there were members of the 1969 World Series members of the 1986 World Series champion and then a bunch of guys who I had really unique places in Mets history, including my favorite pager might yet in seeing that I snapped a really sweet photo he was on the mount. He pitched an inning during the old-timers game got to see him strike somebody out and I caught this really cool photo of his number and his windup on the big board even as he's on the mound warming up to throw so is it was really cool but there's also more that will shares, I promise that's coming up on our social media. Speaking of social media producer Jay tells me it is simple as in much simpler than him ordering a burger with only cheese from Shake shack on Saturday except that you had to do something different and ruin the whole system grant yes that is definitely you usually mean to but I try not to make life difficult for restaurants and metering my life difficult. I made a simple, are you really get a bit trite now about the know you're not, or I'm never going to get with you again know you're not my fault I did okay. It was your fault because you have to do something that was on the menu were talking about a fast food joint at ballpark ages wasn't necessarily made their lives easier.

I wanted less on my burger easier for them except no one else asked for that except you.

Which meant they had to do something special just for you to order now there quickly. Assembly line they're pulling these burgers often passing them out one passes the time anyway, but he didn't this time are you are you would be that we were in like the birds or position you ruined everything ruined and there was a list of those fries were tasty and that I had a black and white Shake. It was amazing anyway. Jay tells me that this is unlike him ordering a burger at Shake shack at city Field on Saturday that instead getting you to set up for survivor island and getting survivor island up and running again will be extremely simple. Are you confident in the fact very confident. So what do I tell people to do what we telling people to do. Look for their email email you the same thing same system as tomorrow has always run children the week before. Once I reactivated to get an email to let you use that suggest account get an email to your email 3 and I like that email to email you or whatever you signed up with for that suggest account and is quickly joint disease is directed alright so be checking your email.

Whatever you use to side upper CBSSports because survivor island which is our version of a survivor pool for the NFL season is soon to be open. Jay tells me by Monday afternoon. Should I let you sleep first and I can keep you from sleeping. The man thinks more than anyone I know.

He was more that is bulldog most tongue-tied is okay last thing you know it's football. Aaron Rodgers is making waves again so he didn't appear that the Joe Rogan podcast and he was asked about telling the world that he was in you dies before last season I've been ready the entire time for this question and had thought about how I wanted to answer.

Clearly, clues normal to say I've been immunized and if there is a follow-up talk about my process but thought there's a possibility that as soon immunized.

Maybe understand what I mean is maybe don't.

Maybe follow-up in follow-up.

So then I go to season them thinking some of them that I was vaccinated regular fault doing forecast was busy asking to ripple my teammates like what you said your team is revaccinated like what kind of example you select your setting. You know your teammates revaccinated is it is everybody's bonuses with her body and were super healthy individuals with certain of ourselves we understand what was in our bodies and what I wanted judgment on any decision or dynamics of the robotic. Yes, time for Aaron Rodgers to wax poetic on a number of topics he does enjoy hearing himself talk. I will say though, regardless of how much he talked about football and good. I cannot wait to we number two because I will be at Lambeau Field for a Sunday night game in the Bears a rivalry that could be amazing simply to play football.

It's after hours CBSSports radio
