10-3-22 After Hours with Amy Lawrence PODCAST: Hour 1

If you're feeling down and having trouble getting up in the morning.

Here's a tip. Brush your teeth had said often when we wake up our brains go into planning mode which leads to overthinking and stress before had even leads the pillow something simple like brushing your teeth can break that cycle and jumpstart your day. This tip was brought to you by better help online therapy which connects you with a licensed therapist via video phone or online chat, visit better help.com/positive and save 10% on your first month during football season that I really have a rapid heartbeat digging the bread and trust my notes. First of all just my notes would just know that we've got four hours and I don't have to get it all laid in the first five minutes, which would be logistically physically impossible to do that euros is taking a big deep breath. Although I feel like my heart is is always, pounding and racing is much as they die retail jaunt up and down the field because he's one of the fastest in the NFL, though of course the dolphins were not playing on this Sunday, but it was a wild and wacky Sunday.

Nonetheless, no shortage of jaw-dropping moments. No shortage of wild swings about comebacks collapses and QB changes owned by are they all like this though mine is maybe the QB changes. This one had a healthier dose than most Sundays and so we are going to break it down and also nominate our candidates for Monday mortification, because as we say sayonara to a Sunday and move ahead to a manic Monday will work.

We got a brand-new ball in a brand-new topic that we love. What is misery and mortification loves company and so we always nominate now, and we let you choose who's most mortified as we kick off the workweek and headed to Monday hour work week starts right now. Thanks for hanging out with us so hope you had a great weekend or whatever it was that you needed from your weekend. Mine was productive, which is what I desperately needed from my weekend but also still spent time watching the news and listening to the news and thinking about the state of Florida.

Specifically, the Gold Coast and looking at the pictures and videos of some incredible islands and stretches of beach that have been torn up with debris everywhere in mostly brokenhearted over the number of people who lost their lives more than 70 now. I think the last count was 74 in Florida and crews are still out making sure that they can respond their calls for help and and still various first responders at seven and crews out trying to find people who are unaccounted for over a million people in Florida still do not have power but a friend in Orlando.

They went for about 4849 hours without power and were grateful when it came back on and so we focus on the Gold Coast and areas like Fort Myers and and Port Charlotte and Sanibel Island in those areas. Thinking of some of the others like Naples and the areas that were really hard hit south of Tampa's of the southeast Gold Coast but man the storm also took a toll on Orlando and plenty of people who maybe weren't expecting it to be quite as nasty as it was when it hit the center of the state and moved forward. So thinking of you in Florida. For those of you have power back. We are happy to keep you company. It's strange still to be talking about football, especially in Tampa as the NFL returned to Tampa and Raymond James Stadium in the wake of hurricane Ian for the bucks and she's just a few hours ago, and after they were displaced all week. The Tampa Bay buccaneers were back in their own homes. Presumably, and were back in their own stadium and it was good was good for them to strike a somber note at the beginning of the game and have a moment to reflect about a state that was so devastated by this hurricane and I know that there are many outlets and entities who are contributing money now to the recovery efforts in the relief efforts in Florida so even as we talk about football.

Still thinking about those people, not just in the sunshine state but also in South Carolina and on up the Atlantic coast many more people affected. Still, people without power and people who've lost a lot if not everything.

It's after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS sports radio. We are live from the rocket mortgage Studios you need to know what it takes for a home to fit your budget and your family. Rockets can. You can find me on Twitter a lot radio per the usual. I spent a good portion of my Sunday with a laptop at a radio edit TV and all kinds of various devices and outlets so that I can follow everything that's happening in the NFL and I tweet so that I can remember. I know it sounds strange but it's similar to taking notes. I'd like to tweet sometimes at major moment so that I can go back and see what I was thinking in and what I was feeling in that moment. It's impossible for my little brain to remember all of those emotions at all of those moments of I don't write them down so I definitely have done a lot of tweeting on Sunday and you can find me a low radio on our Facebook page.

Haven't yet done any posting, but we will will ask you to identify the team that should be most mortified on Monday and also because it was the start of October and because a dear friend of mine. She knows me she knows me so well and I don't read tweet dear friend of mine had not yet given me a birthday gift might my birthday was in April so you know I had long since forgotten about it but she had not forgotten about it and what she wanted to do even going back to April was to buy you flowers because she knows how much I love love love to have flowers. As it turns out we picked the perfect time for a belated birthday gift because she took me to a nursery on Saturday and let me pick out for big pots of flowers. I love fall in large part because of the colors so I just retweeted the photo a lot radio. You can see how these incredibly beautiful flowers. Brighten up my backyard. Although my little bitty lilac. Her name is Lila but I planted is in the background you can see she is 30 and she is strong and she is rooted my fall day. These are coming into this Dakota's body, but they are starting to open up as well so just a glimpse of the day Lawrence the after hours supersecret home base and the most of the flowers that my friend Bobby has a birthday present in October with his perfect daughter and I promise you will put them up on Facebook to because as I was sharing the photo with people. I believe that those flowers make other people smile the way that they made me smile and I specifically put them outside my kitchen window so that we don't stay there doing dishes or cooking. Lord, whatever else I'm procrastinating at the time. I can see the flowers and they will put a smile my face out.

You can check those out on Twitter and I promise I'll put them up on Facebook moving forward. Now here's what we won't spend a lot of time on this edition of the show simply because this is a show that is dedicated to our football fanatics. That's you and me.

I'm part of that group and when we make that pledge to you on every Sunday night especially early in the season.

I don't want to be get into the baseball playoffs will do a little more on the diamond but least initially and for the most part we spent the majority of this show on Sunday nights on the NFL and everything that happened because it just happened that were still spinning like tops. In the wake of week four in the NFL, but I do want to make sure you know that I'm aware number one pools for two more home runs this weekend. Of course he did. Aaron judging your heart out.

Sorry that was mean but you know like this is that the expert does it right. This is now the old dog does it. 701 and 702 and why is it significant because he and Adam Wainwright and yada your melena played their final regular-season games will not Wainwright that they play their final regular-season games together in front of the crowd at Busch Stadium. And if you haven't seen in the videos on my twitter.

It's out there everywhere.

Oliver Marmol walked out to the mound and removed way.

No Yanni and poo holes from the game together and all three of them walked off the field together and as you can imagine it was a raucous scene but also very emotional yacht he was in tears.

The three of them leaving the field for the last time together and so was a pretty amazing celebration. They actually did honor both Yanni and pools before the game. So as we move forward during this week. Hideaway the wildcard games, but the end of this week. Can you believe that October is here, so we will get you set for the baseball postseason. And yes, because it makes me happy and I know there's a lot of poop pools, fans, and we certainly understand what we know and yada event was at 328 starts together, which is the all-time record will go back and will look at this weekend in St. Louis, including home runs number 701 and 702 and if I'm not mistaken. Our approvals also pass Babe Ruth on the all-time RBI list until demanded is a machine and will go back and will look at it. So that's one significant storyline from baseball over the weekend.

The other is that the Braves swept the Mets and watch out because the Braves certainly look like they are the defending World Series champions and they plan on putting up a fight anyone who wants to encumber their throne better watch out. The Braves salon this not out of the ball, which is of course how they do things and they did that against Jacob McGraw and Max assures her and they sweep the weekend to get to 100 wins, so the World Series champs are now at 100 wins, and while they have not yet clinched the NL East.

This is quite a blow to the Mets are still multiple games to go. Now right there's three games left, but it would take a relative miracle for the Mets to win that NL East title.

So that's a bummer for the Mets to lead the almost the entire season in the in the first place spot there in the East was all but four or five days not even a full week of of all the days across the season in which they were out of first place in the East, but the Braves look like a juggernaut now also we had the clinching of the second wild-card spot for the San Diego Padres in that National League race and so the weight is right now, Mets and/or Braves and the Padres have the top two NL wildcards. The last wildcard will go to either Phillies or Brewers. Those two teams. They have they have this last three games set to themselves right because nobody else can win that last wildcard, so one team will be on the outside looking in. Either we have three teams from the NL East or we have two teams from the central everything is locked up in the American League in terms of playoffs and I just want to say Friday night. It was one heck of a roar coming out of Seattle due to the Mariners had back-to-back walk off to end a 21 year playoff drought and so will do baseball were to get to that because the scene was phenomenal what we hear from Scott service. He promised that the drought would be over on Friday. So on Thursday he told us the drought will be over Friday it ends tomorrow and I'll be damned if he didn't make that guarantee and the Mariners caused it to stand out because of a walk off so seriously.

The mariners are playing some of their best baseball of the year and they are back in the postseason for the first time since 2001 I wasn't even in full-time sports radio got a sports radio. The last time the Mariners made the playoffs and so it's quite a scene in all of the playoff spots have been locked up now we know about the division winners in the American League, but the wildcards go to the Blue Jays. The Mariners and the raise the Orioles of valiant effort this year they finish above 500 but they do finish on the outside looking in, so there's a lot there. I know and will cut will start to collect our breath about baseball get set for the postseason. Once we get through week four in the NFL. It's after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS sports radio Sunday Night Football began with a moment of silence and attribute to those in Florida who are recovering from hurricane EN and then off to the races for the Kansas City Chiefs, who last played in Tampa in the Super Bowl loss to Tampa. Matthew Wright just signed this picture away as the Buccaneers will take it up to your Jeep really enjoyed at the 20th of 20 yard line slicing through an up to the 23 yard line will covered by the chief another so the ball is out Kansas City saying they have the football photo Charlie Boyle will usually receive as far as checked off the chief just looked at his phone started 16 children while the back which fixes that will don't use it was off to the races.

Why because were shod white fumbles the opening kick and Kansas City not only scores there, but scores for touchdowns on its first five drives and two of them covering cup coming. Excuse me after they covered up Tampa Bay fumbles there goes the perfect show, you know, so that the first half.

You could say that the cheese were locked in and we hurried after the game we are to during the week of preparation that they felt like they lets that game against the Colts get away that it wasn't that the cold had beaten them. It was the cheese played putrid football and that may have been a motivation and maybe returning to the side of their Super Bowl loss. Those two things put together. Now there is a moment that working at shareowner social media so on our show Twitter after our CBS when producer J gets a chance. It is the jaw dropper of this Sunday. It's a moment that you haven't seen you need to see it. It even louder and more significant than a double doing in London, Patrick Holmes, he's magical. He's missed a call and he goes along to the trout, home scrambling to his right holding it holding it gets off the knowledge of this is 161st of his career is almost what any quarterback in history for 67 problems approaching to do. A guy just finds ways to make plays throughout the game on the big top third of the time.

Goal line plays will and our team into the end zone will will and arts and the windows are ultimately tragic, healthy, raving about his quarterback as a Houdini. Even though he sees them dedicated and practice and actually Travis Kelsey hurdled a defender to get into the end zone on that first touchdown so he's got plenty of magic up his sleeve as well with the jaw dropper to get will share it on our social moms scrambled to right, toward the sideline. He's out of a tackle defender lying on the ground move toward the end zone combination job push past. I really don't know how to describe other than to say it was a little bit about. He jumped but he also pushed the ball like he had, dare I say it forced powers to guide the football to glide Edward the layer in the back of the end zone with the most awkward looking bath you've ever seen, and yet because it's Patrick.

It still dazzled us so that was the 2 yard touchdown, but it could be of yard touchdown with more watch than pretty much any other Sunday from the NFL. Pretty amazing all the quirks all the creative wrinkles.

They were all working in the first half for the Chiefs and their up 2817 at the break.

Actually because Tom Brady and his offense finally found a rhythm is just five words on foot soldier you feel what what what what what is that what we have sold you the second Evans returns from his one-game suspension. Remember because he leveled Marchand Lattimore in that Saints game week two, even as he holes in the touchdown late in the first half is he here there with Ryan Radke and Westwood One.

He makes history. He's the all-time leader in yards from scrimmage for Tampa Bay. The franchise leader. He's been there but I said before and I will say again, I'm so glad he finally got a quarterback in John Brady who could deliver him the football, and who could establish a connection with him so that we see more of Mike Evans on the grand stage because he deserved that obviously has the Super Bowl ring as well so 2817 at the half what I've already late because I was talking about baseball's is what happens when I talk about baseball get me completely derailed by the will get your first break here more Patrick Holmes more of the A/D read creative corgi offense. And what happened to the bucks defects. Some will get the reaction from Tampa in the wake of Sunday Night Football and then top of next hour. Our friend TJ Reeves will join us.

He worked the sidelines and ask him his perspective on that the home spin move. Also what it was like to be displaced this week from Tampa but also to know that his state was going through one of the worst hurricanes in its history. You can find me on Twitter, a law radio also on our Facebook page after hours with Amy Lawrence were just getting started here on CBS sports radio anywhere friends go to church on the behind-the-scenes ensuring we see you.

Joe suits her back and enjoy every Valley juicer stadium running smoothly. First, start Ranger get it done who are listening to the after-hours podcast of the Jewish tradition, a like birch trees are potentially single.

Davis changed the Boxster news Mike Evans choose will use Joni Fortson was stuck in a place where we all knew the employees the way we should play and not of the Colts are negotiable, but you don't you don't do the things we didn't expect to win the football game and were still in love on the battle for but can't do those things.

So the guys cleaned it up today often feel all the more the after-hours beach time to talk football with Amy Lawrence and he reads as we all do we still get up last week we were willing to admit it. Well got to get back on the horse right and against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road it where you lost the Super Bowl.

No time to look those wounds against the cold is after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS sports radio something humongous that jumps out from this game.

Yes, there is a healthy dose of Patrick Holmes and what he does to extend plays and drive the defense crazy, but the chief actually ran for 189 yards he was back a few times but they were able to run the ball and possess the bone actually dominate the time of possession with the football on the road to the challenge and made our team roles and that's a great disintegrative is want nothing to her. The talking, talking. Not always a number from everybody about how they didn't play well the last week. They said that challenge and I went out there and when I dominate like that makes my job a lot easier. Patrick will Holmes raving about his offense of line while everybody else is raving about Patrick. He's raving about the old-line in front of him. It's after hours on CBS sports radio and on Facebook so will get some stuff up thereto are Monday mortification polar question.

I guess on Facebook so you can tell us who should be the most mortified on Monday actually don't think that's the case for Tom Brady and the Buccaneers.

Though this was a law that now there are two into the back and they were displaced all week think the part that's hard to understand is how the defense could be so stingy in the first few weeks and then seemingly give up everything and anything that the cheese wanted to do except there was an interception in there that did lead to a touchdown, but even with a pair of touchdowns for Tampa Bay in the second half one coming after that.

Will Holmes pick they never got closer than 10 points up Kansas City was able to run the ball and run nearly 3 minutes off the clock late in the fourth quarter to kill any type of hope so. The way that they played today is an indication that they are still very much one of the powers in the AFC as much of that West division is going to be competitive about what we seem from them, at least initially. Outside of that Colts game because everybody has one of those pickups even early on the season tonight with 417 total yards they go 12 of 17 on third down and five of six in the red zone. So what that Into the box. The D play well for the goods and they picked our book sold through turnover that nothing to do what we outplace situational football if they do get down there and hold the three Alisa red zone defense was poor all run defense for her past defense was poor. Third down efficiency with four and we played a poor game and I both know me how thick the team sports so we played great on offense we can help him very much as her so we integrate the first half terminated missed opportunities on third-down turnovers talking tough team known 13 but no real clear up better wanted to teams so that our Bishop Fisher to get to see what it looks like we do progress to them a lot of credit in order to place pressure played great, but it won't third-down the red area maternal battle time possession you know because we didn't do much offense or defense out there and sit now tough on or defense to know let offense of the time to time possession so we all got depressed working a better job is a great one Hall of Famer is done. Everything in this business that can be done more than once. So is basically doing it my whole career as a coach, like three years ahead of them, but as a long time.

As an old dog right there some guy can use so accurate it's ridiculous and he read Patrick will Holmes others raving about Tom Brady does beautiful on this night the chief moved to three and one and the Buccaneers faulted two into and while Tom Brady doesn't want anyone to blame the defense and he's right.

The unbalanced and really out of whack time of possession. So, nearly 39 minutes of the 64. The Kansas City Chiefs makes it tougher on the defense because they're out there for so long that their gas late in the game so that makes sense, but still it that defense got pushed around in the trenches will talk about it more with TJ Reeves who covers the sidelines back and forth, up and down for the Buccaneers radio network. He will join us on the top of next hour are coming up. We've got everything from a Kenny Pickett's NFL debut to Zach Wilson's return to the NFL in his season debut. The first rookie quarterback to throw a touchdown pass this season. Definitely not who you might've expected over time at Lambeau plus a game between the fiancé and the lion that results in nearly 1100 yards of offense 93 points and so was at 74 First Data 54 first downs.

What that same and yet that is the NFL.

We also have Cooper rush leading the Cowboys to another weight and what could be his final start lease until Jack would get hurt again. Hope that's not the case but that's getting closer to returning. We had a game in London that goes down to the wire and some really incredible rushing games on Sunday for teams like the Raiders who get their first win.

Any Eagles who get their fourth win all of it were to jam it all is just not in the next 20 minutes if you're feeling down and having trouble getting up in the morning. Here's a tip. Brush your teeth had said often when we wake up our brains going to planning mode which leads to overthinking and stress beforehand even meets the pillow something simple like brushing your teeth can break that cycle and jumpstart your day. This tip was brought to you by better help online therapy which connects you with a licensed therapist via video phone or online chat, visit better help.com/positive and save 10% on your first month on Twitter a lot radio also on our Facebook page after hours with Amy Lawrence as you are listening to the after-hours podcast now third-down and I want to fire all six somebody after-hours with the Lawrence CBS sports radio so you thought this might be a gamy for the Green Bay Packers. Did you because there was no back Jones. He's dealing with the high ankle sprain, despite the fact that Bill Belichick would like us to believe that he is day by day. He definitely was not playing on this day and then Brian Hoyer is in concussion protocol after a sack in the first quarter income. The uncontested on tried unproven rookie quarterback Bailey zapping selected in the fourth round by the patriots in last spring's draft and it's the defense that makes that statement early on a pick six against Aaron Rodgers by Jack Jones just before half and the patriots have the lead on 10 seven going in the visitors locker room at Lambeau Field in a nationally televised game on what was a gorgeous afternoon in Wisconsin. It's after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS sports radio Bailey that BC employees.

He led a pair of touchdown drive that put New England in front twice in this game. In fact, his first career touchdown pass went to Devante Parker and right hand if you thought Bailey happy would be the first rookie quarterback to pass for a touchdown in 2022. That's crazy right but that's football. The first rookie in 2022 and when exactly did he settle down. When did he feel like he could take a breath. That is the question right because with rookie QB's are really rookie any things your heart is racing, you need to get your emotions under control and not only is he forced into the game after Brian Hoyer goes out so quickly. Lambeau Field, Lambeau Field, I'm telling you it's intimidating is I was just on the freehold laughter two weeks ago.

Week two in a nationally televised game and yet he was out there and he had a job to do so.

How long did it take probably a fight. First play whatever percent off settlement and everything, quieted down that I've started you give the body the playmakers let them do what they do best. That is a great idea actually. And they did establish a fairly healthy run game plus the pick six back and forth they went.

This was a very entertaining game. Unless of course you were one of those people like me who would pick the Packers in a survivor pool was thinking maybe it could be Green Bay and New England who knocked me out. So Aaron Rodgers didn't have a great first half, you'll hear them talk about it momentarily, but in the second half. He does direct a 75 yard drive and oh gosh, it was the best of times and the worst of times for Romeo jobs.

Not only does he catch a 13 yard touchdown for a tie game by heat rocks.

What would have been a game-winner on a deep shot late in the fourth quarter.

So instead of just going for the first out of the third and eight I think that it is going for a first down late in the game.

The Packers go for broke big over the whole run and Rogers find jobs with a perfect path in the end zone and he drops it so that was one of those roller coaster days for Romeo Romeo on a roller coaster.

It's after hours here on CBS sports radio threes highlight the Romeo Jobes Dobbs excusing the wise Adobe's because I've been up and watching football for 14 hours.

Anyway Romeo to stick to Romeo. The reason I highlighted touchdown catches because it came on Aaron Rodgers 500 career touchdown 500 career touchdown pass for Aaron Rodgers think only four guys in the NFL have ever achieved those height back and forth they went in the second half and then all of a sudden the offense dries up, five straight points to end regulation, and then start over time and now nobody wants to score. Although as I say. The Packers had the game-winner in the hands of Romeo until he dropped it dropped it like it was hot but it was Lambeau and there's 80,000 people there and ultimately we know Bill Belichick has a very healthy respect for one Aaron Rodgers and he did settle in and he's got some good playmakers with them so 12 plays over nearly 7 minutes to set up what was a chip shot we know, when you say chip shot sometimes it goes horribly some calls so usually don't have to terrible house, returned to the former expect myself not usually reserved for both Windsor and there was a person of soberness and notice credits physically dimensions for strong. The bottom line is, as soon as you think you have a game one before the games he played a lot of things approaching the book for me. I know it's easy for me to never go there because you have to play the game and there's a lot of times you can beat yourself at the voice of Matt Leflore. Yet you go out there thinking that the game is already yours because the patriots don't have the starting quarterback it's on your field. Yada yada yada well, that's a surefire formula to not play your best football. Here's what I like about what the pack did though hundred and 99 yards rushing. Remember game one when we heard from both Matt and Aaron that they were going to be committed to the run game nearly 200 yards rushing to get that patriots events and that leads to ball control. Rogers 250 through the air. Couple of touchdown passes. Also, the interception and then Bailey happy 10 to 15 for 99 yards and a touch out. They did nothing to do a whole lot.

They were relying on the offense of line as well as the run game, but what did you think coach computer will wait what that's it.

You just thought it competed well okay maybe a little more to say about the loss. Overall Rogers was too good. Some some throws overall pretty good coverage on on some of those who choose just to smart to good to. You just regardless we couldn't quite do enough surprised anybody else that he says far more about Aaron Rodgers that he does about his own rookie quarterback twice help the patriots get to the lead all right interesting. It's after hours there on CBS sports radio. You can find us on Twitter after hours.

CBS will have our Monday mortification pull up when we have the opportunity and also on our Facebook page. We always enjoy spreading the misery on Monday after a football Sunday, and as much as the Packers won this game Rogers not happy either with himself or really, with the fact that they left the door wide open so to speak, and I was struck by something he said after the game again after a weekend with the team. Now being a three and one we just get into a room and start a little bit faster. We can alleviate some of the things is scored seven through two scores another one-dimensional*enough room so this way of winning.

I don't think is sustainable because the system was too much pressure on defense and how to set up played better and will play better, but certain orifices are, football will mixing up with Walmart, so the numbers was to run the ball control and will this way of winning is not sustainable where there so little margin for error. You put so much pressure on your defense that you are really unable to come away with a lot of wins meeting your offense has been more consistent so there's less pressure on the defense. Yeah, it was a really entertaining game, but I could imagine stressful for a lot of Packers fans there Lambeau and around Green Bay and Wisconsin. Now with each change at quarterback. We knew that was going to be any change at quarterback because there was no Mac Jones, but we also lost Brian Hoyer and went directly to Bailey's happy. So welcome to the NFL rookie, but man this week for was right with quarterbacks on and off the field. We have Zach Wilson returned also in the AFC East made his debut as Joe Flack, I would be keeping the seat warm until Zach that healthy, there's a neat procedure because of a preseason injury. Were you expecting the Pittsburgh Steelers to make a change at halftime. Mitch Stravinsky and the Steelers often struggled in the first half against the Jets the same game. There and out trots Kenny Pickett at halftime right after halftime to make his NFL debut. The crowd went crazy as of next hour will get to that game. The Giants actually quarterbacks Joe Barclay was operating as the QB the wildcat late in this game.

Daniel Jones was on the field and deducts NAFTA so he can hand off, but he was on the field with an ankle injury and he would line up at wide receiver decoy of sorts that on the relatable to think what Barclay my gosh, so Daniel Jones everything ankle injury. After a pair of first Avenue rushing touchdowns. This was Giants and Bears at MetLife Stadium and after he's everything ankle injury. Tyrone Taylor comes in moment later he got an protocol and their out of quarterbacks, that was crazy and then to start the day in London know James went to Amy Dalton plays the entire game and both of the show along with her cousin St. and Vikings to start things off with a lot to get back to Tampa next it's after hours with Amy Lawrence CBS sports radio one protects the block and that requires an eye for detail because when safety and well-being on the line.

It's the details that they lie even when no one else is watching everything ranging under here for you and all the ones who get done with a wide range of products and solutions is board certified safety consultants in here to answer your question, call Granger.com just that by Granger one
