I can talk correctly in the hour I can make any promises. It is almost Friday though and we are launching forward into not just a football Friday but a wildcard weekend. It's weird to say that right because wildcard we get to me is January edits football and now the NFL is supersized there wildcard weekend. I suppose that's what baseball is doing at the same time, but the waiting stack. These games the way they have loaded them up best-of-three decided by Sunday boom so if I don't get the wanted done. This is pretty damn close right because in three days were down to four survivors in three days were down to the division theories solely for not dragging it out like that. Let's not be doing travel days left not be given teams a chance to set up their pitching now it's a little bit like a survivor pool.

Is that not the rule is don't get cute if you don't wait in week three.

You're not to be around for week four, when it comes to a wildcard theories if you don't win the opener well you're really in dire straits. Then, and obviously if you're a team that facing elimination game to save your best picture for game three just in case you get there on my gosh the analogies so vivid like a fool. Speaking of, there are five people left on my survivor island, which I'm on Isola new blog if you're on what we say oh it's the rock it's Alcatraz.

If you're on the rock.

How many people are left J3 solar nearly a thousand. We think close to the point close to usually hundreds if not a people left five was okay. We are one.

There always people who don't make their pick, or who forget to make their pick and I think that you may not realize the you have to make your pick.

Before the week begins. You can't, for whatever reason, the mechanism you can go back and make your pet after Thursday night football and pick the team that one on Thursday night. So think that's why they lock it but I almost forgot my gosh I had company.

Most of Thursday and I was up early cleaning and just getting ready for my friends to show up and because of that I was out walking the dog and I'm thinking that will all I got to admit it and I realized it was Thursday.

Okay, I still have time. I did go back.

I looked over all of the possibilities I considered, well, I'd I backed away from Thursday football because I always do.

I did consider the Broncos briefly to remind me not to get cute. It wasn't cute at all actually and I ended up going with the Buffalo Bills which I not competent and I'm never confident his elbow, and about anything in the NFL actually.

But it was either the Buffalo Bills. I think I briefly as it very briefly considered Tampa Bay over Atlanta, but the conference game that confiscates our division game so maybe a little bit nervous because actually Buffalo and Pittsburgh is also comfort gave I'm just uncomfortable with the bills in Orchard Park. I like their defense, their defense is really good. There were a couple of others that I toyed with, but I just there was anything else, Tennessee. I kind of thought about all the road at the commanders but I just I didn't feel comfortable with really any of them will be honest, I am feel super comfortable with Buffalo, either. I swear, bills, Mafia, you better not levied. I've never made it past week 61 a survivor pool much, much less made it past week six so I not sure which is my goal because I don't win anything if I if I'm the sole survivor on our our archipelago. I don't win anything. I sure I don't want a shirt actually I guess I should break the news to producer J. I did give away one of our shirts to one of my friends. So one of our shirts is now on its way to Europe in a couple days were about to become a European phenomenon. My friends were visiting from Denmark. I love exposure across the ocean. I like the really funny because the friend who took the T-shirt also spent time with Penny on Thursday evening got to meet Penny. She's not a dog person. Her husband loves dogs. She's not a dog person and so she did really well. She was very afraid, imagining every penny he's harmless, but she's too tired to do anything about me, but I told her I said Penny will be asleep on the floor before we eat dinner, we were eating dinner with in 30 minutes. Penny was Artie conked out on the kitchen floor which is great anyway.

So yes, she she's spent some time with Penny. She felt little more competent around dogs. After Penny pennies very calm.

The only thing that he cares about is well sleep for sure her treats and then walks, but the walls are very short anyway. Good. She got introduction to penny and now has a shirt with Penny on the back of it. Oh dear, I apologize to her. I said no one should have to wear a shirt with my dog on the back of it, but she actually is.

Like me she looks really good in orange about look really good net orange. My favorite color. She looks really good in orange because she's got darker skin and so yeah she's got a T-shirt. Now that's heading back to Denmark were on we were about to become international, why would we subject her to wearing the shirt on the plane billboard know people stare at her, because it's obnoxiously bright orange that after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS sports radio or live from the rocket mortgage Studios. Do you need to know what it takes for a home to fit your budget and your family rocket can really excited an hour from now. Driving across this great United States somewhere. Josh Pate will join us. He is on his way from the Thursday night game to game this weekend on the college football slate and when he's agreed to join us. Which is great so we'll talk a little bit about the landscaping college football you've heard this from any of your family and friends. Maybe it doesn't matter.

While the games were going on but people I know cannot keep up with conference realignment, the potential for college football playoff expansion they really can't keep up with the and IL rules or trades are portable and it seems like it's a free-for-all.

The wild wild West.

Even if you're in the South in college football and what we know, it's still the same three so will sort through it all with Josh Pate who just signed a brand-new deal with CBS and 20 4/7 boards really excited about it.

He's a self-made man and he's got a great show that errors multiple times per week, and here's what I know about Josh whenever we try to get him he's jammed his scheduled jab so were excited, even if he's on the road.

We can't wait to catch up with them so we also got in addition to college football NFL week five. The start of the baseball wildcard weekend, and when the poll is up on Twitter after hours. CBS which wildcard theories are you most fired up about Vonage and I'm not sure there's so much to like about all of these theories. The guardians being the youngest team in baseball. One of the big surprises the Phillies, ending a 10 year drought, the Mariners, ending a 21 year drought the Mets with 101 wins in the wild-card round the Padres who found their stride with their hitting and it become formidable at the plate the Cardinals, who have an outgoing Albert pools did you see the comments that Albert made to think it might've been always MLB.com is a AP but it was MLB.com that he almost quit this summer before he went on his own run, tear before it wasn't just about the whole rent because he said to him, the ultimate final number did not matter. He was still retiring regardless whether or not he reached 700 home once and you know in June when he was considering retirement. These were his numbers with this. He was hitting below 200 only four home runs. He was nowhere near 700 and 700. It was an insult to talk about 700 and so he tells MLB.com. He almost quit in the middle of the season. He asked himself that many times, but as a future Hall of Famer. He was working on it. He actually changed how he held that the in early July, and when he did that he says something clicked.

Pools went on to hit 314 from that point and he was one of the most clutch hitters in major league baseball over the course of the final stretch of the season so July, August, September, he hit 20 home runs in those three months. Obviously, surpassing 700 becoming one of the great stories of 2022 and I love what he said to did we talk about this last night with Jesse Bradley, the former pro soccer goalkeeper about how you bid culture how you build chemistry, and he said it starts with leadership for sure but it also starts with time together.

It's about investing in the people around you and then when you care about the people around you. You're more willing to put in the work you're more willing to give Hartsell blood sweat and tears and then of course when everybody's pulling the same direction the wind is calm and when solidify your chemistry and your culture. Albert pools that this when you have good people around you and they are encouraging you and you realize that God is open so many doors for you man. It puts things back into perspective. You have good people around you and they are encouraging you those guys in the St. Louis clubhouse.

They were the ones that were supposed to be learning from pools and no doubt they did. He's the Godfather he's the grandfather he's the future Hall of Famer they were encouraging him to stick with it because sooner or later it's going to turn around for you. All my guys that almost makes you break and tears. How many of us in life had been stalked. Whatever that means. Stuck in your personal life stuck in your professional life.

In 2021.

I was burned out. I thought the show sucked. We we had lost a person we were in a place where it felt like we were doing the bare minimum. I didn't enjoy the shows I did enjoy sports, I did enjoy the creative process, which is what I'm passionate about. I was stuck I did.

I just couldn't imagine doing this anymore.

I was I would think quit, but I was ready to find something different to do what I had friends in my life family my life who kept encouraging me to be a break in the turnaround. It's always good to be this way your to snap out of your funk you going to do what you do your to do what you were born to do and this is what I was born to do.

I've known it since I was a teenager and so things did break things change. Producer Jay came on board, which is huge part of that. But the people had around me who encourage me and wouldn't let me give up wouldn't let me forget about all the blood sweat and tears I put into it. My gosh, I love that when you have good people around you and they are encouraging you man. It puts things back in perspective. And so he set them to stick with it, love it. I knew sooner or later it was going to comment turnaround for me because it can't be like it was all year long.

No because he's a Hall of Famer at some point he was in the click is the machine for reason.

All my gosh, how about that and if that encourage you the pools. One of the best of all time, one of only four haters in baseball history to ever slide 700 will run.

He was discouraged he was disappointed he was frustrated. He was anxious he was considering quitting guy could go through the tough stuff and come out the other side will and soak away.

I love that after reading it I was so fired up super emotional as you know me. I cry when a map your problems that I describe the time and the rest of the season, three months fire a huge reason why the Cardinals soared to the top of the NL Central won the division and had some unbelievable moments and memories over those last three months. No wonder his teammates are so thrilled for him. They were part of it.

They got to encourage him all my gosh I love that way back to back to all the storylines I actually wasn't planning on spending the segment on that I was given it up at some point, but it just clicked.

When I was talking about the the unbelievable run for the Cardinals get into the postseason so Cardinals. Obviously a lot of storylines Yanni, who was part of their big run a couple years ago. I know brace. Remember that I Yanni Albert way. No think about the raise who haven't yet won a World Series would've come so close their incredible pitching there so the Blue Jays obviously getting to host the rabid fans there at weight Rogers center Rogers and they changed the name again on me.

So there's some really cool delicious juicy sexy storylines about wildcard weekend and it's so fast. It's not as bad as what time it is a pretty good compromise.

Working to hear from all my gosh when my favorites in the whole game. Terry Francona, he's a hoot.

The man is how he still gets nervous but you know what like Bob Showalter, Terry Francona is so good for these young guardians. Bob Showalter. He's one of the reasons why the meds 101 games this year they needed good leadership. They need a guy was standing any IV case is about Tito because he thought that he, Eddie, but he so passionate and he so knowledgeable and is a perfect complement to the a bunch of young guys have no idea what they're doing so were to hear from those guys because it's cool to get to get ready and to know where they are in tough to hear their emotions and in their anticipation. So we will do that.

But in the meantime want you to vote for the wildcard theories that you will not miss. And please don't respond and say I won't miss any of them just play along. Please, and we have a bunch of people on the phone that one away in 855-212-4227. Anything to keep me from talking about Thursday night football, I got 28552124 CBS on Twitter a little radio on our Facebook page 2 we got college football coming in 45 minutes, but for now it's a football Friday at what it's up on a Friday free-for-all about that.

Lawrence guardians radio team in major league baseball got one of the most. Answers one of the longest tenured managers that you consider total service.

I know he was in Boston.

He obviously had some time away even after he started in Cleveland because of health issues but Terry Francona is the perfect complement to about two young guys.

A lot of them who were going into this situation without a lot of experience. I was noticed yesterday that will never that'll never change. I don't know.

I remember I can remember back in Goldberger 16 before the first general surgeon… I will have anxiety and apples out there. What would you do hundred and scared to always give them away.

You want to use your Vantage group letter, usually adrenaline to your Vantage on so want to enjoy. I don't think you need to wait till began to see if you win sprinklered will drive enjoy this while I do enjoy. That's a great perspective, but also I love that he's so authentic I'm scared to death that goes back to 2016 right with mated to the World Series. Just remember that World Series that was incredible.

It was the Cubs who had the pointing of course after the Cleveland Indians had what it was that 31 lead in the series and the cups came back not just that but it was it was game seven extra innings and there was a rain delay or a weather delay of some sort, and the cubs ended up winning but heartbreaking for Cleveland fans, but made it was one of the best World Series of of recent memory really is. After hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS sports radio. Let's go to our phones here 855-212-4227 would start with Chris, Susan, Marilyn, welcome to the show you. Talk about the ball and whatnot thought about the different sort them more about the park sports on television or necessarily wrong also like what God said about the game. I think the TV commercial when it comes to the don't help at all, either with the exception of James baseball makes its money to get longer. The closer we get to the World Series and another 22. I don't know what to do about God. However, some funny dog last year before Max was traded to the daughter of the national fund afternoon play tomorrow and from his wife labor in the hospital with comfort game anyway game in two hours as it is that all there is little that might've been under two hours of him also in your ability accountable mail your event so negative about how the pickpocket in the good speed of the game at all, but I really think it will all you know what I read that I was a little too much.

You know that needs all the help and got Albert's gray port and then then developing the one laughing from a drug known Ron for Moose steroid guy that I can way way way because you know that the damage they do.

This would be so much important that why don't I feel the way I do about recognizing whatever they accomplish. They go way way way before they get recognizing the story of their report was told and him anyway. Really appreciate the baseball talking to be good maybe. Better if you talk with your hands a lot, you know you remember radio go. Thank you, but I'll never be full-time TV, not less. God completely changes my mind and my heart because I've zero interest in TV.

It's not the same thing it's there so many ways that radio and TV are different, but I've always been a radio junkie.

Also, I do think I look weird on TV. But whatever David is listening in Pittsburgh.

Welcome to after-hours good evening Amy hey I'm probably going to be in the minority on the point, you know, our game of baseball. And the thing with the pitch caulking speed in the game up all through four years ago myself three friends. We went to a doubleheader in Pittsburgh and this will really start doing the separate admission we went to both games.

We got there.

Game time and we timed it we were in that ballpark for seven hours and five minutes time.

The second game was over, I would have. We all work about how passionate we were. We were happy is calling him him you don't like you when he when they did the thing with the ghost riders that that you going what are we doing mean we used to do that if you want around the neighborhood on a particular day and you can only find one in your bodies. It was home and you played wiffleball. That's what we did for that ghost runners on in a major-league baseball game so the final thing that is interesting to me is everything is is you said with the commercial Conoco baseball makes its money.

I don't think this will happen, but if the game start getting shortened through March. Let's say they have maybe 1015% that are too large and 15 minutes what they would on your owners do when they see how much money they're losing at the confession and if not, you know, I'm so excited for tomorrow. This is like Christmas Eve for me on the bill go to sleep tonight. Waiting for new dart just go to wall-to-wall games and water to tomorrow know that I want to tell you to real quick. I'm looking forward mostly to St. Louis, Philadelphia. This is a reason why you up and again because I'm old school baseball fan here. I know it has nothing to do with the teams that are playing tomorrow from St. Louis in Philadelphia more than any other sport.

Baseball was a game of stories in history and even going back to 64, when the Phillies had a six-game lead with 12 ago and they collapsed and St. Louis won the pennant and ultimately the World Series and I also like the history between the two teams like the Dick Allen trade the Steve Carlton trade and Curt flood refusing to go to the Phillies in challenging the reserve clause, so maybe that makes me a baseball nerd when the backdrop, you love to look at that link back on the history it has nothing to do with today's teams – is that while praying up.

I told her I warned you, when I called him probably in the minority on all that that matchup and tricked me proof of those reasons very much for taking the call and I enjoy listening to your show and keep you company. David, thanks for listening in Pittsburgh is talk to Cash's in Atlanta. Welcome to after-hours good morning. Whatever it is you that I'm good how are you great big in my call so I'm baseball and thick little small thing about football in the middle click the okay okay but were too long.

I was not a fan of you going to date that Dave's little slot session like that week. I only did two days are just filling in like a week I didn't like it either my hours. I was happy for you. It's no big deal just it was a radio show. I remember well is different is that the person was on TV, which is way outside my comfort zone but same thing I do here at night.

Nothing different. No need to congratulate me. It was just a filling in for some people who are out okay okay one was the quote will quote from somebody earlier. I've been all over minute not met, but I forgot exactly what it was that I actually have a gigantic book of baseball that is super old 35 like a good but yeah so one of the band. Don't nobody in the bathroom looked October love you Jackson.

I remember it.

Nick is upset about going for another bill in the bronchitis in Denver using outline in your right it's okay got to go, go for cocoa and I'm good but know the last thing is the God of baseball nerd or whatever the case with a man all love it and he would quick to the point and he let you do your thing.

I thought it was off them and prompt you to keep the freethinking rock officer good to talk to Alanna were always good to keep you company. Yeah, I nerd on the show as a complement. So, whenever I say it's just take my word for it. I I adore nerd siding to marry a big old nerd, I'd say let's talk to you one more here.

Talk to David is in Massachusetts. Welcome to after-hours.

I'm good thank you turn into a pumpkin. Oh, your mind on what else do you do with your time is timely so it's all right yes tell Boston's oldster crazy right now you talk about possibly going to the Red Sox, Tom Brady .0 write about to start Sunday when meeting Bailey absolute know that the guys poison the pocket guide guy looks like now you know is not Mac chose the same. You know everyone that Matt Jones look like that guy from Mad Magazine playing his best football is best that we see from him at all, long when he got hurt. Honestly, I thought he was playing really well.

I have no idea of how you could know anything about Bailey's happy being the next Tom Brady. After three quarters of football on the road in a loss he was poised, but I know that's crazy. Whatever we are completely irrational and illogical when it comes to our sports. I totally get that.

The wildcard weekend if I don't get my way and not getting my way.

I preferred the wanted done, but I'll take three to row except man it leaves me with no like this weekend.

Are you feeling bad for me don't. There's a lot of sleep to it but the cool thing is I can watch in my sweatpants and my comfy chair all my gosh, my friends who came over to my house on Thursday afternoon I hang out with me for a while. I made them sit in my comfy chair and the second that my girlfriend sank down in it that it's just that likes either comes out of you comfy attack while sleeping yeah you know what people have done that before people threatened to do that before and after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS sports radios on top of the hour. Here's the plan.

Top of the hour, you know, the best laid plans of mice and men there will be some college football talk with her friend Josh Pate with ever-changing landscape in the sport and the future of the playoff is very much up in the air. And so will get the latest with him. He's driving somewhere in this great United States in college football country so excited to have him join us. We still have both the QB news week five frame through the eyes of the defense, it's a brand-new segmented brand-new feature that we like all defense wins championships were trying to train your mind were trying to influence those of you sports fans around the country to remember that it's more than just quarterbacks will always be headsets with our quarterbacks, but it's more than just quarterback that yes were getting you set for wildcard weekend. So all the jam into the next two hours and 15 minutes and then you're on your own.

I can help you after that. So take our poll. We've got the wildcard weekend pole and producer J how close are we to our poll for week three of the four blocks per week. One locks locked whenever Jesus locks I shy when I run the other direction when Jason locks for the final spot with whom Giants and the Packers done in a you said you're in a debate with debating you yourself and you your debating amongst yourselves will conference about we narrow them so you need me. Do you know narrow one.

Nothing has ever been set on the show are, let's all get rich is talking not about rich.

We don't talk about. You will talk to you riches in Chicago.

Welcome to after-hours through 20 are working throughout. When you talk about the law beautiful, you talk about bears is really hard to come up with anything about people really owe a blanket the Lord… But college later joke. I will call triple: how will the Roosevelt remarkable boat one like I just really quickly interject the power rankings are just some subjective list. They don't mean anything. This is what people think about the teams in the NFL while people are truly will track the NFL.

I mean, but I think power rankings are subjective list that people put together based on certain numbers and metrics, but I test to me it's been anything it doesn't affect whether or not you can get to the postseason.

It's just it's an objective list row after but I think Alabama could be so absurd when you take a look at a better quarterback. I conducted a few case letters took a look at what Alabama in college that has really came out just a little.

Well, you know you called. Also, the seven photochemical exposed one wall that was waiting for me, but that is exactly what the all-stars in college, but you felt so guilty about the locking week and observed the no no no no, what works for all.

Nope you don't know about Sunday after doesn't matter.

I am not telling you know because I don't think the Vikings beat the Bears into conference matchup Vikings beat the Packers for heaven sake so they can beat them but it nope to any college team, even if it's Alabama Ohio State Georgia being NFL team as it nope those are grown men who's leaving is based on how tough and physical and skill there on the football field.

The average NFL career is not even four years. These guys are locked into battles for playing time and battles for their livelihood. It doesn't matter how good Alabama looks against other college competition you're still pitting college kids against grown men, many of them you've got pounds and years of experience in the NFL it, there's absolutely no way that a college team beaten NFL team that is at full strength.

It is actually trying to win. I'm telling you, you can tell me all you want but the Bears actually have two wins against actual NFL teams." Just when and so that's what I go back to write.

I go back to that over subjective power rankings because wins in the NFL are wins in the that you don't take them away. They're not jokes that they still count as the Colts beat the Broncos in Denver and over time with nothing but field goals.

It still count the belt. I don't do predictions like I never would've picked the Vikings to be the Packers and we can number one right. The only predictions you will ever do are the ones where I have to for my survivable and even those maybe uncomfortable teams are not static objects. They don't stay the same over the course of an entire season.

Some get better. Some come together.

There is more fluid. Think about everything changing again for Justin Field new coach, new system, new everything he's got new people around him new receivers. It's all changing. It's all new and responsibilities on him and so I mean they had a brutal first month. There's a bunch of teams that a brutal first month. Russell Wilson is better quarterback and the FL for 10 years and the Broncos offense is putrid so there's a lot of teams out there that looked terrible like hideous offense if not to stay that way for most of them to the course of the year will go right to work. Work well will see me like I said new system new new terminology, new coach, new schemes, new receivers, new everything yet again.

It's not easy to go through that, either as a young player so wealthy I can't like it's either to be a playoff team. I've no idea. But I absolutely will never ever ever agree that a college team can be an NFL team guys were all-stars and All-Americans at every level, and all they do is work out and play football. That's what they do that got TechNet world-class technology that got nutritionist they got everything they could possibly need to be successful as football players and their huge disk. I know there's some big Alabama guys, but these are huge guys and every position so it's just a different animal, but I presume you call Rich, thanks so much for listening in Chicago, 855-212-4227.

Do we possibly have time for the Bears offense of coordinator Lou get to you was talking about the first month it was really rough for Justin Fields.

I don't think is better each week is growing tremendously know it's not easy playing good football teams. It's not easy to come.

You know the little quarterback that he wants to become became a common and so working the important thing is that we stay focused. She borrows on the progress on the process and make sure we get better each and every week. I believe that we were in thethis is not easy, and this is not it's it's a lot of changes for Justin Fields and last year, probably made his development harder than it used to be and he's he's not a good spot but there a lot of quarterbacks right now that are not a good spot is not playing well.
