As the NFL preseason winds down, Adam Gold discusses how there isn't much that the NFL truly offers of substance in the offseason besides the NFL Draft, NFL free agency, and the occasional long-term storyline, i.e. Deshaun Watson. Adam also dives into the changing structure with the PGA Tour, and how the top players on the tour are committing to playing in more tournaments to boost the viewership of those tournaments.

If that happens I will 92 05326. I totally forgot I was you say which is I guess part of the course when you've just crossed over number 56 dampening orders fixing that fit your interchange.56 and change. Now I am what I means varies just pennies exactly.

It was Sunday still change it was Sunday when when I hit number 56 Eric lots of things going on.

We are going to talk about football and alive to this for you. You can hear smile.you can absolutely hear somebody smile posted so we try to convey energy on this program. We try to give you a jolt of energy because at this time of the day. Maybe you are you coming back from lunch or you're headed to lunch I realized the 230 is the time for an early lunch. I their people go you some some classes start lunch like 1030 strew right in the middle school you go to school with, like a lot of different grades and somebody that wants 1030 strew sucks.

That's really breakfast yet. Second breakfast due to reasons you yeah I don't should I is you. You are supposed to get the little bit to get the body. The your metabolism moving if you will. Are you don't need health tips from us, especially if you saw us on TV just including both of us and that is why you let me in this world why you let me in the saddle. The indirect like backend okay this thing with Richard to start saying this, but this summer proved something about the NFL didn't most part there just isn't that much to discuss the right and the same can be said for basically any other major sport. What are what have our major and FL headlines been published. Draft Lamar Jackson's contract right Tom Brady's 10 day break only half like today, right when when Todd Bowles became very vague about his return.

All my God, it might not and the number one quarterback with Carolina Panthers the offense of the Panthers you could not find a less consequential franchise questions in Jacksonville less consequential but do me they have a quarterback in the future. We don't know will find out maybe Jacob them thinks DeShawn Watson, I write that's been going on for your the same stories been going on for your nap but we we just haven't had much to talk about but I'm going to give people two things for their NFL conversation with your crew as you could have an NFL conversation today. This is to be a very interesting year for second year quarterbacks San Francisco New England Jacksonville Chicago. Those four guys mean some of them are good to emerge see freelance what is he look like Max Jones not sure I wasn't impressed with against the Panthers last what's Friday night on that at present Max Jones could be could be the last go around for Justin Field. He has been set up to fail. The other thing I would give NFL fans to discuss it and make you smarter when you're at the nail salon talk about Don Coryell, the father of offensive football will get into more that later on PGA Tour world is going to be new. Starting next year. The finale is tomorrow in Atlanta course nobody's really talking about the tour championship now because were talking about is what the future of the PGA tour is the format room. The format of the tour championship is what it is but the real conversation is about the future about what Tiger Woods and Rory McElroy have presented or did present to 20 other top PGA tour players that seems to have galvanized them to act as one. I'll be surprised if anybody that was in that room in Wilmington, Delaware goes to live. Member Cameron Smith was not in that room in Delaware. There were couple of other players who were not in that room for different reasons, but I will be surprised if the PGA Tour loses a little shift top player not named Cameron Smith and here's what happened. The top guys are committed to playing more that had not happened outside a major championships so 12 elevated events players playing more.

They've committed to playing 20 times during the regular season which is January to August for the most part. Now and some other things have been juiced in terms of finances. There is some upfront money to players, but I think a really good development for the tour. Yes, live golf has triggered a lot of these things to happen a little more quickly than they otherwise would have been will talk more about it with Bob Herrick coming up at 1230 but if you're a fan of the PGA Tour. Your big winner today was that choose a character. Okay.

All right.

Ken Griffey Junior was named to the coaching staff of team USA for the next world baseball classic which is set for this upcoming March or next March. I guess it's next right so many people are going. Who cares stand I stand the who cares about the world baseball classic because frankly we haven't had one in a few minutes. 2017 was the last one we've only had four, the United States has not been completely dialed in the baseball world has been the United States has been completely dialed and mostly because it's not really valued at its new, and I understand that and also some things are simply way better in theory than they are in practice and I would put the world baseball classic in that category.

When you hold you hold in March. Can you really have it in March.

Are these guys get to be ready. American players and they get to be ready in early March, mid March to play something like this that matters how many teams are involved. Major league baseball clubs are not interested in donating their their stars health to an event like this that they'll really get anything of right and maybe sell some merchandise and whatnot again it's not integrated in the sport is not like footballs World Cup, which is normally played in the summer but of course this year because it's in Qatar or cutter however you want to say it's going to be November through December so all the major European leagues are shutting down for six weeks to do that is shut down for six weeks but they're going to make a concession to the World Cup. Major league baseball doesn't want to do that during the year that that's not what it's about what you some thoughts on that coming up as well golden studio with my friend Coach Pete the router with the capital financial advisory group.

We are talking retirement hotels longevity risk figure into our retirement and income plan. This is the best of times and the worst of times and longevity risk live too long, but to me everyday lives not too long after we want to money to outlive us and unfortunately many people have seen you out there listening. Maybe one of them. Your money is not designed to outlive you. You might outlive your money and that's not what we want to have happen as we get to that day after you run out of money not to be a fun time with design a plan that guarantees you will never run out of money. We call it the GPI plan growth protection lifetime income for the next 10 people is the golden ticket out of the snow valuable to do at no cost or obligation, and all you have to do is call we make it so easy. Would you like financial independence into your retirement and beyond it. 800-661-7383 that golden ticket is $1000 value or you could text Adam to 21000 for Coach Pete to root them all why should dance for weeks, zero season.

I can't weeks zero people keyed on slow this was named the starting quarterback. The big news that she is not the big news. The big news is Nick Sabin got a contract extension through 2030 because Nick Sabin needed Alabama to further commit to him. Nick Sabin got a raise, bless his heart, $11.7 million annually from Nick Sabin. That's it yeah well bold yes. The larger point is that the best coaches. The real best coaches are underpaid for the value that they help bring to their schools and 85% of the other coaches are way overpaid and that's just that's the reality.

I understand though that the way it works economically in these types of sports the ghetto. If you're just okay your your boat gets elevated by Nick Sabin. That's really the way it is across ports anyway and 11.70 now passes Kirby smart who had passed him.

Former Nick Sabin disciple 1111.2, but Sabin was 70 years old is now with Alabama through the 2030 season. Maybe so I know Joe you if you decide to retire earlier. He retires earlier, I will quickly 04 games that I'm only remotely interested in and I'll just give you one of them for view at North Carolina 815 on the ACC network.

That's it. June 19, 2006, but it all started May 6, 1997 the announcement that the Hartford whalers were coming to North Carolina transition of heartbreak. Figuring it out on the fly became 25th anniversary of the presented by the Carolina listen I would get back to couple of the bigger stories just go a little bit deeper really was a good day for money missing PGA Tour is good day for fans of the of the sport. If you are a golf if you like watching PGA Tour events, but don't like watching PGA Tour events where blessing you don't know the names of these players because we probably do know the names recognize the names but you have no real interest in some of these guys may know offensive the rank and file of the tour right because we watched sports and not every team is laden with stars the right wing watchlist. What the Carolina hurricanes. No offense, but a national audience is not tuning in to see Jordan Martin again. I love Jordan Martin and he plays a role on this team, but the hockey fan in Chicago does not care what I see writing a thank you card they want to see Andres Messick on the what the stars stars direct drive leagues PGA Tour's had a problem of late and that the whole independent contractor idea which is largely garbage. But these guys been able to come and go as they please long as they play the required 15 now they're going to play more and they have committed to each other to play more and that is really cool J.

Monahan, the Commissioner of the PGA tour on that commitment level are top players are making a commitment to play in all 12 elevated events as well as the players championship the Masters tournament. The PGA championship. The U.S. Open in the open championship.

They will also add at least three additional PGA Tour events to their schedules. This big time big time. The fact is that and Rory McElroy said this after I said before we talk with Bob Eric about this a little bit. It's rare outside of the majors in the players that the best players are on the same now you get a bunch of you will get all of and what we want. If you're a fan of NASCAR you know you're getting all of them every week, every single time there's a race.

However, many races there are. They're all in it.

Some of them even do like the lower series will raise the neighborhood so so so if you are a NASCAR fan you know you can to get it every single week. That's what the PGA tour has needed good for Fernando Ted Tese has offered an apology for his steroid suspension. So let's let you hear that techies were bright young stars of the sport and play a lot last two years and this year, this year you played me got hurt last year. He's he's missed his plate almost as many gameboard missed almost as many games as explained since occasionally been elite for years. He has a 14 year $340 million guaranteed contract signed with the Padres before last, and then he was in the process of coming back rehabbing to come back when he got the positive steroid test. I don't remember the steroid.

He claims that he got it in the Dominican Republic and it was prescribed by a doctor in the Dominican for his skin condition rat okay whatever. And maybe that's true. I don't know but he's asked his teammates to help them get through the.

The issue with. I guess the fans but he'll be a work in progress right so the Panthers named the starting quarterback and we all know that week one is Victor Mayfield versus his old team. The Cleveland Browns couldn't be more excited for that. What about Miles Gary Miles, Garrett, are you fired up to spoil the home debut of your former teammate Baker Mayfield just had a sense of urgency will cause the I love that Jake former Brown as well. Part of the Panthers radio network on whether or not Baker is the future for the panel to break a little bit.

Let us see the play outlet so that you can lead people to play all of them get away and you do that in Cleveland last year yeti injury if you delete so let's watch them play. I think it's starting to build the right way. I thought we could get back. Last year, like what we did all see the log especially in the draft 15 starting to, build the right way and discount lefties in progress and if Baker is part of their progress and played football and that's something to be talked about. I guess everything is on the table for the Panthers. If Baker plays well maybe he is the quarterback next year and here's the things you might not have to pay him a bunch of money if you like this guy can be our starter.

You'll have to pay him what Lamar Jackson potentially can get it out well know team get on the line in terms of An all-out stairs is the way I look at Baker Mayfield depends on what happens this year. Of course I think that Baker Mayfield. As long as he plays reasonably well will be offered a contract that could easily slot into the backup quarterback behind a young quarterback who doesn't make a lot of money be meaning back around and he couldn't if if Baker is good. Then you can sign into a are normal and normal starters contract, not a top quarterback and and just give corral time to develop site say I have my doubts about the team around Baker which is haven't we have to see the offense of line get better with see a lot of areas of this team get better but I appreciate Miles Garrett and Jake the loam on Baker Mayfield. I was the Garrett thing made me laugh are real quick before we get take our first break Bob Herring from Sports Illustrated will join us talk about what went down at Eastlake this morning really yeah fiddler on the roof for my gosh if I were wealthy men right so we zero on little laugh about that for a while. We zero in college football is here. Apparently the people in our poll won't really want to discuss week 01, about what I know North Carolina's good playing drink may be the starting quarterback will probably get to see Jacoby Criswell as well. Right will see both guys will see who knows how much the best players of the play, and they will probably completely destroy Florida A&M prime time ACC network 815 stock Duchesne also plays at Florida State don't don't don't pull the Jacksonville state Florida State that I don't don't do that. But honestly, I look at the schedule for week zero. There is one game one game that is remotely interesting one, and that's Nebraska at Northwestern and I'm only here for the schadenfreude of the potential of Nebraska not winning at Northwestern which I am sure Northwestern might even be a slight favorite and that is a heavy favorite. Actually, how bad is Northwestern supposed to be Nebraska.

As a -500 and Northwestern yet Northwestern is a +400 on the money line of Joshua brass is a 13 point favorite Mike. I might take Northwestern on the right.

Yeah I know I did for Nebraska to lose the only compelling game, mildly compelling. Yeah I don't know really what shops you mentioned you and see what Charlotte 24 Atlantic yes 7 o'clock on CBSSports just network and you have a future bet on Charlotte +235+230 you wrote it.

I let's go look who is what is it for you baby else are.

This is nothing compelling about we know it's only Wyoming at Illinois gay is Wyoming favored on the road. The Cowboys favored on the road.

Another not Cowboys are +3 4011 point dogs. How hey Vanderbilt on the road to Hawaii for that, especially with the Clark Lee saying that he wants the Commodores to he thinks the commoners will be the best program in white is a game in Ireland when Chip Patterson is already tuning in. Okay, I guess Northwestern is Northwestern Nebraska in Ireland. Maybe I'll know there's a game in Ireland. I'm okay with the game in Ireland anyway will talk to Patterson about that at top of the out this is the atom gold shell June 19, 2006, but it all started May 6, 1997 the announcement that the Hartford whalers were coming to North Carolina transition of heartbreak. Figuring it out on the fly became 25th anniversary of the presented by the Carolina listen
