After Hours with Amy Lawrence PODCAST: Hour 1

Not include a lot of sleeping boy is not a good day for sleeping other people out there who can identify those of you work second and third shift or sometimes it's just not easy to when the sun is up or when your pets are up my gosh, my dog.

Sometimes she sleeps like a rock during the daytime and we got a couple really good weeks where she's just been exhausted and so you know she's a really tough life and sometimes she sleeps so well in the last couple weeks were so promising not to day note from say 1130 in the morning until about 2 o'clock in the afternoon the dog was up every five minutes with her toenails. Click click click click click click click click click click click click click all over the bedroom on the hardwood floors, and when she wasn't click click click click click click click click click click click click click she was doing this.

Standing up, sitting down and going when the dog sounds like a really old lady who is having a hard time getting up and down on a chair.

I mean the dogs a mess and then she has a sigh and then she has to move around and then every now and then she asked to check and see what I'm doing which is waking up every time she moves and makes a peep.

So finally arrived around 2 o'clock after two and half hours of click click click click click click click click click click click click click I she decided that she need to go out the door. Go once the dog came back in, so she gets her treats after she goes out the backyard gets her treat all guess it was snoring.

Yeah that be the dog not her mom not not be new took me another 90 minutes to fall back to sleep. By then I really only had 30 minutes left. Brutal afternoon. Thank you, Penny. You want to take a wild guess what Betty is doing right now. Yeah, sleeping was a really tough day for the dog to you know though I heard or heard her all day long but it's okay.

As I said to producer J. It is the end of the workweek and this is it's it's after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS sports radio.

We are live from the rocket mortgage Studios when you need an expert to help navigate the home loan process. Rocket can it be worse I could of had to fight off a rabid fox in my backyard. Did you see that story about a New York woman who had a fox in her front yard and the fox attacked her and she thought she was going to be eaten alive change would go to the hospital because she was so nervous that the fox literally attacked her.

It was rabid foxes would really approaches you would like the will of its rabid mean any rabid foggy yeah and any rabid animal will attack anything really in the rabid fox when their rabid day. There are fearless and their crazy like literally crazy and so this box resolve the story this father. Actually, there's actually photos and video out there, so this box jumps on her in her garden and blights her multiple times and continues to attack her. She thought she was going to be eaten alive by the fox get this she suffered 16 bite wounds from the incident I'm telling you, looking at photos I'll start right now that I think that's what happens when the animals are rabid there their crazy neighbor that they don't act anything like what they would if they were not rabid contributing kicking yeah she's right appointed annual ticket, she thought it was the neighbors dog and instead the little babies. A relatively little fox, but she couldn't get away from him and so anyway she's there's photos of her of her wounds to which are how. Thank goodness she was a retired nurse and she knew what to do for herself.

But while so like I said it could be worse. At least Penny was just waking me up because she had nothing better to do, I suppose, will bring "the fox caught the fox was someone's got to control it caught the fox we know what why don't we look Google it. Can you Google rabid New York fox caught she thought that it was the neighbors dog. That's the part that's crazy and punctual and how there's video. I don't even think I'd I could only watch a little of the video so apparently a neighbor came over and smacked the fox found the stick and started hitting the fox and that's when the fox ran away to her home for a week after the attack early this wasn't. I mean, it wouldn't you be afraid to go out your garden accredits tag right or remedy phot I don't know really daughter.

I can't imagine those things are wiry and quick and fast and I mean this is a 61-year-old woman just how like Outlook, I'd be nervous to because here's the thing that fox bites other animals.

They can be rabid as well and then all of a sudden you have a rabid Army coming after you and your backyard. Sounds like the beginning of harm to do a confirmation that they did indeed fox they got it.how they got get it. I don't have you scaling detailed description of how my need to be tells about how they Asserted that the got the fox and you can take and he was taken to the local hospital to tested for rabies, which he did test positive for hip so they did have to put them down. This is one of course this is why you get rabies shots for your pets because if they get bit by rabid animals. They too could turn on you, not to mention it's it's distal.

It's tough to she have to go to shop for rabies or not. She Artie had a shopper is in the medicine cabinet know sometimes you get vaccinated when I traveled internationally. I had to get rabies shot.

Okay, it's mid.

I don't know that it's something that every human does. But a lot of humans do get rabies shots okay on that note I hi happy almost Friday. You can find me on Twitter a little radio and then also on her Facebook page after hours with Amy Lawrence. We got a lot to get to tonight.

I thought we are going to have time for all of flame induction because we have some great audio and I wanted to do one before we hit the football season but instead will save until early next week. We generally do them on the last show the workweek, but since I am starting my vacation next Wednesday afternoon will do it sometime middle of the week. Maybe we'll do it as part of what you like our Monday show Talbot get through a manic Monday will do all of flame induction actually next week. We've already got some good guest lined up for you as a precursor to the NFL, but you know in this in this space.

Two weeks from now will be talking about the season opener.

Why when you suppose is a good time for me to actually look at the NFL schedule. I have yet II know that the big release happened a couple months ago and people get all giddy dumb about it.

They start predicting the number of wins for their teams.

I mean all of that is so not worth my time, but I haven't actually looked at the actual NFL schedule. I do know however that on Thursday, September 8 two weeks from tonight's it'll be the bills opening up the season at the Super Bowl champion ran in LA so by Stadium site of last winter Super Bowl and then we get closer we'll talk about all the other games I do know that I've got some friends were to be in Seattle for Russell Wilson's return with Denver at the Seahawks, which of course is the home of his first 10 years in the NFL.

So I know a couple of the games that are on the week one schedule, but not all of them to buy a Dallas is kind of the repeat or I should say the other half of last year's season opener when it was the Cowboys at the Buccaneers over the Cowboys almost beat them last season to start output will see how they match up this year but otherwise I don't really know a lot about the NFL schedule week number one. I'm just not there yet.

I got a vacation first vacation first.

But I'm not checking out Emmett still up three shows next week before I'm on vacation anyway so will get to the latest from the NFL preseason. Not only do we have a couple games on the schedule tonight. The last appearance of Trey Lance before he takes over as the starting QB for the Niners. We also had a very classy tribute to Len Dawson in Kansas City where the Chiefs and Packers were playing their last preseason game and and actually a couple of minutes will be joined by former Chiefs wide receiver Dane and Hughes, who is now part of the cheese broadcast team who worked with Len Dawson and knew him personally before Len retired from broadcasting a few years ago and so we wanted to get his reflections in his memories of the Hall of Fame icon who passed away earlier this week at the age of 87, 17, and Hughes will join us in a few minutes here from Kansas City. It's after hours with Amy Lawrence CBSSports radio wall were in the midsection of the country central time zone to be exact. It was a power surge. For one, Paul Goldschmidt, who is I would say that it is not the front runner for the MVP that it's impossible to ignore him as a candidate.

Newcomb is working on a 1 to 3 on your slang along with his 32nd year's third RBI of the day and I smell the coffee brewing swing and there's a flyball centerfield that's in deep back to her round over the 400 foot marker and centerfield two home runs and the Cardinals win today due to Paul Goldschmidt goes three for four with five RBI home run number 33, 105 RBI now and is batting average is 339, the guy who is tops or close to the top and all three of the Triple Crown categories and actually he says it was the day off. That really made a big difference. I gave him some juice in his bat roster and that's why always been able to read to you guys in an effort as a ballplayer so letter uses a person to want to write what you ready to watch as this is we actually got a power surge from the top home run hitters in the National League on Thursday evening so mention Paul Goldschmidt who is second only to college Warburg.

He smoked home run number 35 for the families on Thursday and then we also saw Pete Alonso wheeled a very powerful batch as the Mets are back in business against the Rockies.

I know Ron was struck out 71 New York to pitch on the word bouncing ball up the middle. The drawer was left just throws a hail Mary the first close Alonso off José Iglesias's board with an infield single. The first first base runner for the Rockies against Jacob, so there's a lot there from Wayne Randazzo and Howie Rose on Mets radio what you did here. Alonso's 31st home run as he powers the Mets to their 80th win of the season now to grow, was bumped back a day, so he missed that second game against the Yankees.

They said they wanted to whatever give him an extra day get the other guy back in the rotation. Blah blah whatever. So there's all kinds of speculation about whether or not DeGraw was sore or if he was needing extra time, but he was brilliant because that's what he's been since he returned he goes six innings and throws 87 pitches allows just a single run on three heads and strikes out nine. You know we were little bit above the one of the lantern photograph so I think that was the real test of them so I think probably the next one will be. Let me all along hundred plus all hundred plus I do know is that what Buck Showalter has in mind about Jacob Grauman's pitch counts after 21 people will lose all the testing we do with all her pictures on the computer after person wants to come and said I'm going to now whodunits really can't imagine there are many pictures in the majors who do that. So the matter now 80, Wednesday, and that short little losing skid that they had a job in those back to back games against the Yankees and because the Braves are off tonight. The red-hot Braves won eight of their last 10 was at 14 of 16 for the Braves to the Mets have a two game lead over the World Series champions. Meanwhile the Dodgers were also off tonight and got the top record in the National League. Actually, the top record in the majors there, sitting 86 when so there's still the top record in the National League up for grabs. It's not as though the Dodgers had put it away in the American League. The Astros make quick work of the Minnesota Twins or they beat up on the twins in this series, which they played these last few days and so they been able to pad their wins their win total against the twins have dropped six in a row on the Astros. Meanwhile, of 14 straight all of them against Minnesota and there sitting on 81 wins so they got the second most number of wins along with the Dodgers so it goes. Dodgers Astros mats and I mean this is not something you would've thought possible.

But the Yankees as they've won four in a row.

They beat up that pummeled the A's tonight as they do that now. They won four straight and that got them to 77 wins is crazy. The length of the major-league baseball season how anything can and will happen. The torrid pace. The Yankee set in the first half and now they're not even at 80 wins while three other teams in the majors have already reached that milestone that Mark will get to the rest of major-league baseball, but former Chiefs wide receiver current Chiefs broadcaster Damien Hughes has agreed to give us a few minutes to talk about Hall of Famer Len Dawson who passed away this week, was honored by the team just a few hours ago. In the final preseason game and it will pick his brain a little bit about the Chiefs in the AFC West as the season is shot about to kick off amazing.

It's after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBSSports radio you are listening to the after-hours podcast right person for every interaction with them from the camps in our meetings always there someone that's shutting advisor light in the where we are at our main GCC Soto appreciates panicking as a cheese quarterback in the Kansas City community. He was the quarterback's will that help you can see she's become who they they are use after-hours glory that one will recognizable. Of course, about late Hall of Fame quarterback Len Dawson and that she take the extra step to honor him with a special huddle that was a throwback to the 60s and 70s in the style of Len Dawson.

He would get out on the field with his offense. They did that before their first snap in Thursday night's preseason game against the Packers as a tribute to a great great person a great player then only in your profession there very seldom Hall of Famer in two different things. Well, that's it's a wonderful life really took advantage every every day how donors are Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs.

No doubt will take some special steps to honor Len Dawson over the course of this 2022 season. It's after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBSSports radio right now are pleased to welcome former Chiefs wide receiver and current TV and radio broadcaster Damien Hughes back to the show dated as the cheese take that this moment to honor Len Dawson. They do the special huddle of the type of huddle.

He was known for what was it like to see it out there on the field to hear the fans also honoring Len Waldron credible recordable.

A world or agree to acquire knowledge of the organization. Also met look for in his organization, as well as the official everybody was involved in the penalty was cold and I don't know you got a chance to hear all the audio book. The official, the penalty will delay the game on number 16, which was one of Len Dalton number so it was really cool. We gotta check the highlighted dorm abroad literature showed a lot of class between both organizations and the officials to honor such an article about the potentially icon blood and refill icon in one Dalton. He was Hall of Famer. He was a Super Bowl champion. He was an AFL champion knowing him the way that you did Dane and what leading to this organization this franchise that waited so long for another Super Bowl.

After that era had produced its winners will no longer talk to Lynn kind of white included organization, you know, look around you. So when you look at different themes whether midway through different God will know cream Hall of Famer was a big man, for the Lambeau, Chicago, New York and nothing to do with one, you got a chance to get to know mama on know very unassuming quiet reserve very humble person for how great you will and all the great thing to do with the L and L including the ball all that and one Konica felt the same way, but you have really realized long wanted all the pro football and as a broadcaster and the whole thing people are in bold and you look at the ring of honor-year-old stored in them. The amazing work that is good on the broadcast would always point he comes up with next to you in the locker room just sucks with you that when the work is coming penalty go to dinner with the rookies and set them talk about old stories and then you look to know his resume and what he was able to accomplish is 87 years old letter a complete, logical, full life, we heard the stories going abroad to the know he would grow and practice all day long and then turn pink office equipment and the interview. His teammates then also the local station. The 6 o'clock news go back home with his family, then going to become o'clock news and then do more studying for the whole job and then do it all over everything will grade in them know what he was able to carry include info if you really know how that launched the NFL in broadcasting all the teams across the world. This is amazing that they go what a person likely to do so no women he passed away an incredible man and a kitty icon was in that order. Such a treat to get to know Jesus with us from the Chiefs broadcaster radio and TV is a seed that Len Dawson held in 20 is a 2017. It was not long ago that he was doing the color commentary for the Chiefs broadcast so I can imagine is kinda neat. Now to be in that same situation yourself and recognize there's some pretty incredible shoes, but I've been filling and I can only imagine to what it meant to guys like Patrick Holmes, others who follow along and play that same position to have this Hall of Famer who was still around the team and part of the team not even sold many years after he play, but it mattered to him to be involved to and there were were my little baby to work, would put almost 2 and have quicker emotions and recognize that there is no trip to Cookeville goes through the all broadcaster growth Len the boom stadium is named after and what he meant to the organization what he meant God like Patrick Holmes, 2017 was when Patrick came into the leak and all Patrick talked at length about the conversation we had with Glenn Lenny know was getting up there in age and he recognized how special Patrick was in his first year we didn't start one storage of the Denver Broncos in week 17 and money.

At that point told Qualcomm everybody around him. The kid is special and lo and behold we've seen what comfortable homes can do but the amazing amazing thought to to an experience in watching him interrupt with God is in trouble skillfully comfortable home control skills were not supposed to go on the field longer to play in the game was really no reason for them to go out on the field and yet they made their way onto the field and they said they wanted to be a part of the duck. How much respect for Len Dawson, if they wanted to honor him and that huddle all before L for the first plated on the offer is the epitome of what all about former employers should strive to be on and off the field. How he carried himself the professionalism that he displayed an interview look through his resume, like, why wouldn't you want to have a chance to be in the same goal and feel the same boon from where the same headphone and try to accomplish the same goals part of great championship teams will forever be missed conversations with him, going back a few years. How happy was he to see the cheese one another Super Bowl all it was amazing only if you go back to the Super Bowl MMXX. Special to me because we were in a separate section.

We were in the stadium down to Miami and we were altogether within the roles of each other every body was screaming and jumping around our section was silent, we would. There were all different, because we know you know, for lack of better terms. We know that we had.

We had looked the chief kingdom down throughout all the years that we use between winning the Super Bowl and what he was up there with both, and he was he was a part of the note to know how much this organization means to us and how much we mean to them and how they embrace most of the family. Even though we played decades since we've been on the field and to see how they were able to get over the home team in preseason number one seeds moving in the first world, all that went down the drain. When Patrick Malden was able to kneel down and we were able to get the victory.

Lenny was a part of that. He was one of the brothers wasn't like he was no stuff will head above football love God like you young federal router Bobby Bill Hall of Famer were all brothers were all part of paternity enough. Elio was interrupted with no doubt the team will honor him with maybe a special patch or an armband, because he really was the foundation of the franchise in the NFL dating she was former Chiefs wide receiver now with the TV and radio broadcast teams would have you hang on through update and will talk about these Chiefs and the new look AFC West is after hours with Amy Lawrence.

You are listening to the after-hours podcast. Use these after-hours Lawrence we are spending a few minutes with former Chiefs wide receiver Damien Hughes is part of your radio now really appreciate your thoughtful words and your memories of Len Dawson even as the team honors him at the beginning of its final preseason game against the Green Bay Packers just a few hours ago. It's after hours on CBS sports radio to Dana now thinking about the Chiefs and their training camp preseason. What stands out about the team and what you've seen so far in a renewed energy and it's creepy to talk about being the coast of the love for Super Bowl I would laugh you work titled and were talking about a renewed energy like do anything old energy and were talking about a special were younger and they got a chip on their shoulder and to me that's a dangerous place to be when you talk about him the best quarterback in football of the best tight end in football of some dangerous weapons and from young talent. We have 10 draft picks. They are calling all working-class files like the Michigan Wolverine because we got five rookies that are going to be big contributors on this painfully got a healthy mix of old guys with a chip on their shoulder and high expectations and young guys that are learning how to keep up with that so excited about this even know we got the first the first portion of the season is going to be a gauntlet on the way up Glock zone of that we go turn around quickly. Five days later employee at home against the Chargers will be body stricken women in the West and then we just got go through a lineup of really, really good team but that's what happens when you are number one or number two seemingly every year from because mold is taken over. I'm going to get the best schedule to make sure the best teams and you go step up and be the best thing that you claim the so does this renewed energy come from looking at a new challenge to a new and improved AFC West or maybe a little bit about some of what the departing players have said regarding that she keeps screwball of the former player like you think of everything and you've been around long enough like what they dream up just like him about my mom call you know you like dog dog I go out whatever it takes.

When you have that sour taste in your mouth about how you championship at home against Bengal that can carry you through not just another season through an entire career and don't have that bad mouth and determined to show what the real Chiefs tomato and they want to start that again so was owner like us that we been fortunate so far came out of the preseason relatively unscathed and I think will go to be able to come will go all bulletin all chambers ready to go, what I was owner and this team is really been good under Andy Reid.

If you look throughout his tenure.

We been really strong start and I go back to Marty Sean horrible who coached me start to scroll and that's what this team is done has been the strongest goes running up to one Super Bowl finish put it on strong and I think that's due this year. When you hear Tyree, Kelsay, that the teams really gonna miss him and is not going to be the same. What's your reaction to that item. Before you go to the level of ability to we have that get you to this point, but you don't don't think that people are better than you. You don't think the teams will be as good without you. That's the mindset you have to have the be able to excel at this level in equity in the NBA fell NHL wherever and so I understand that mindset but in the back of Tyree Kaman.

I think he knows and he read. He knows the enemySteve Spagnolo knows what works preached in evaluating talent and we may not be the same but would not going to be worse than culture.

I think I revealed know that Augustine was going to look different, but I don't think they're going to produce any different and I think a lot of brothers on the screen wish him well done in Miami those unfortunate that you see different comments that you've made all refer to patch up the homes now. This week we saw a family walking current comparisons with Rogers and Patrick will know what I can. I can live with family walking plan out about Roger because he is a multi-MVP eight Hall of Famer, but to like him on struts and there, but I can understand of the player you try to do what you can to support the court about the ball.

Now what they wish him the best and we may see them in January.

You wouldn't think it was necessary to say anything at all.

Great talk about your new quarterback and how accurate he is. But there's not really anything to be gained by making these public comparisons and holding up Patrick Holmes like he some kind of a slouch. And you know maybe you would be more were for saying something that was convenient when you don't.

So I guess you can be a little more to date uses a former Chiefs wide receivers with us here after hours on CBS sports radio image and some of the young players who are a couple of new cheese to watch that TUC already show that there fitting it. What Brian Cook today to do well. Trent McDuffie first round corner is really dumb. Stalin and the interesting thing about him that through the broadcast. We haven't really said his name, and that's a good thing that means that you haven't done anything wrong on the field and hasn't been any claims made in his area so I'm confident about him and George Karloff. The first round pick from Purdue. I think you gonna bring a different kind of energy off the edge, he said to stocks in the preseason didn't play much this evening but maybe he's the guy that has an engine kind of reminds me of Max called me Joe down used to be here with the chief guys, Holly would have that that never die kind of energy. Mark my words later Stephen you might have me on and I guarantee Karloff. This will have the least to maybe three strips or chase down from behind knocked the ball loose from the ballcarrier because that's the kind of energy he brings deeper and so that's going to be different. We haven't had that in a while and I think of going to work well with Chris Jones at 4 o'clock in the got the phrase 13 seconds now live forever in Chiefs infamy was the greatest football game that I had ever witness the greatest executed football game ever witness you talk about two teams that my recollection didn't have a turnover in that game you know both quarterbacks playing at the top level reminded me of Montana versus Elway the Monday night miracle that we had a 94 open Denver where it was a blow for blow not neither team making a mistake. One team just played better than the other and 13 seconds to be able to accomplish what they were able to show their coaching show the preparation you didn't see any guys freaking out on the sidelines slamming helmets, being upset they expected to put themselves in a position to tie the game and I think when you look back and I know the network as we played that game over and over you look back at how the game was executed.

Josh and the bill taken advantage of miscues and then the chief spot back in the big play by Carl Rico custom about Travis so many great highlights in the game thing to go down as one of the greatest of the 20 oh Josh out to patching the home site seven touchdown passes between them and is 42 to 36 final in overtime shift as part of an amazing NFL postseason last year before I let you go, Dane, and there's been a lot of traffic, a lot of change in the AFC West. What you make of the new division know what part of the court. We waited before clean when John Gruden worked with the rater bubble burst on the screen.

Every team and if he was drafted in aquatic talent. Try to be good to go back and look at it all started with the Beaufort and Mel teams of the sudden you know what maybe is not to be the defense of going to break down Patrick Holmes is going to help them try to beat the home will be the offense committed on try to outscore what you think the voluntary going to the Raiders Russell Wilson going to the Broncos. You see, retooled charges, team names are or are standing together. What were trying to prepare for 46 to 42 game against the Chiefs with each prepare for and you give a lot of credit to any reader but at the same time I feel I feel really good about our dream like this can be a clinic in Windows 7 Street was championship and also gonna feel like the peanut will be right behind him. The Denver Broncos been down that road before with a solid defense. They put into a little-known quarterback named Peyton Manning and then what lo and behold go to Super Bowl and I think I feel like that's the recipe that they're trying to follow this year in getting Russell Wilson think of to be a formidable opponent. I can't believe were almost to kickoff. If you remember the excitement and anticipation for when you are a player will absolutely come out of the tunnel that you mean nothing like I will. I know there's a lot of different databases and people in Seattle. My food differently, but anybody's ever played out, excluded his experience, that is like no other surrounding NFL so I'm trying to contain myself and not look past the Arizona Cardinals because of what we have to go in week one Thursday night game the first game on Amazon against the Chargers going to be some special something similar to that built playoff game and I'm looking forward to. There is a reason why there are so many of these AFC West schemes are on prime time TV you want to find dated on Twitter at DA Hughes guy 83 the former Chiefs wide receiver now part of the TV, the radio to cover this year's team and really appreciate your memories of Lenny Dawson. Thank you so much for a couple of minutes, no problem. You can also call me on the ground you will be all be door completed before each game got accused of victory and so on. So you will be more confident about the Gumby. Special thanks Insta Dane and he was on In-Stat, that means you're cool I think but yeah really need to to be able to talk to you dating thank you about the Chiefs and this extra juice. They got this extra energy. I think the rest of the NFL and specifically the rest of the AFC better watch out if they need more motivation than watching what the rest of the AFC West is to that's good stuff and I will say to get.

I've said it multiple times on the show. I will say it again, I do not understand for the life of me why Tyree Kell is running his mouth about to why Watkins I guess is really excited about his new quarterback Aaron Rodgers like that party could see but feel like it's open season on the that the Patrick Holmes and that the Chiefs offense and I don't get it.

There does not need to be an extra motivation is a good stuff with Dana and and I appreciate him joining us on the heels of the final preseason game for the Chiefs and there are preseason games all the way through this weekend, including a couple on Monday five member correctly and so were talking about the final few days before they all wrap up and get a breather over Labor Day weekend, kind of not really because game day starts on Monday and then can you believe it in two weeks time. We will be looking at the very first game of the NFL season. I got here but vacation first place. After hours on CBS sports radio
