This is the atom gold shell. I know surprise to me as Cox was interested. I probably should read emails more like cool this is all right with a lot of things to do. That was something more that it last night.

Something yeah called that was called something we should come up with Paul what it was. It's a good thing that the National Football League in terms of interest is Teflon because if you were just presented that product that you had never seen it before, you would've gone. Why is there a dog show deserve a rerun of Westminster that we could watch hope everybody is doing well on your getaway Friday for the my son is off school next week or next week fall break with a full week in college and getting beautiful with exactly today's college yeah I know but my point, so no parties.

Anyway, I just I just found all this out once again read email. It is a good point that today's lesson read your email. Today's lesson shut up and play the game. I say bad football game terrible football. I know both teams have good defense were not surprised but what 12 nine overtime yeah neither team deserved with Becky actually I would argue both the observed music but we can't do that to look as he waved his baseball score would be doing here for thinning and its 96 in favor of the Broncos okay look, it's very possible that both quarterbacks last night Russell Wilson for the Broncos. Matt Ryan for the Colts. It's very possible that both of them are in the rinse cycle right like totally washed or just try to get the water out its very possible that they are both of the raids, rinse cycle. If you don't think that it was a bad game. Al Michaels and Kurt Kirby Street on Amazon prime last night during the third quarter, sometimes again can be so bad is good.

As I sort of appreciate the honesty Street. Michael was trying to sell that as you know, like a bulldog write a bulldog is excessively ugly but it's cute right all dogs are cute but it's really hard to find but that's what that's where he was going.

The dog is so ugly that it's cute and Kurt Kirby Street who must be a cat got quit feeling that first of all, and this is something we should we should know about them. They completely mismanaged the end of regulation, completely mismanaged again. It should have been no worse than a three point no worse than a three point game with about two minutes off the clock right, maybe 20541 155 if I if I have this correct.

And believe me it was a hard watch last night so it was hard to stay awake.

But I did get through the end of regulation so they have the ball third and four from insight wherever was I don't even know what they were. They were inside the 20 together in the red zone right before leading up to the two-minute warning and the culture entitlements.

So even if you run the ball third for you run it down to the Tribbett warning if you don't pick up the first down.

You kicked a field goal or you can try to go forward again and run the clock out.

The truth is the call to do nothing on offense either. So you might have been better served just try to keep the ball and with the game rather the kick the ball back as if they were going to drive the ball down the field tech probably just get a chance to do that score touchdown as opposed kick vehicle. Either way that's not what they did they drop back the past which I really don't have any problem with the problem with the play call horrible wrong Russell. I meet. They were talking about the throat being late coming out okay but even if it wasn't late. It was 3 yards behind the receiver. He had to stop and by that point, I sort of covered anyway buddy just deleted you and throw it were only the receiver could catch it high toward the goal pose only the receiver get madman right to visit of Stephan Gilmore's legend anyway so debate was about. It really was more about the error of physical error on the part of Wilson now. They got overtime forth in 1166 yard line and since I ran forth in one of the six so you have an option you kicked a field goal to tie the culture to get the feel kicked the feel of the tithers about 250 left or whatever it is 230 left or you go for. I get my dog for that yet another option. After that you try to score the touchdown or do you just try to pick up the first. Either way, right, here's Nathaniel Hackett, the head coach of the Broncos on the final plague we want to win the game. We had to move the ball very well. The whole night and I thought we had a spectacular drive to get all the way down there in Nepean for the morning. Got to go to go for it.

Thought I was a good decision want to put the ball Russell science and call play that we know that but he really likes, and it didn't work out as one of those things in the timeout before succumb to get a feel for what they were doing and so the run didn't look as good as we had hoped it would have and give it give us a chance with Russell. That's all you can ask for that situation when we get. Do you remember the opener when they opted to let the kicker come on and try like 105 yard field goal. Instead of giving it to letting your quarterback try to pick up a thing was 1/4 and five, and Hackett was vilified for that right. I don't disagree with this decision at all to let Russell go for. I don't disagree with me. I don't think is a wrong answer. You could kick the field goal and tied the game. Yeah, guaranteed the ball back that we probably not to get the ball back usually have one timeout left usually get two timeouts in overtime. They were used one you probably not getting the ball back.

You may get it with like it be if the Colts might accept the time when might that they already have one. Why not get a friend.

They tied their opener so if you're on the road if you're the Colts type probably doesn't really that bad.

So they probably would've accepted that maybe try some short control passes to pick up a first down or two and maybe then take a couple shots so you're probably knocking to get the ball back so I guess you want to win the game versus you want to tie so I don't mind going for going for the touchdown. There again, this is on Russell. Here's Russell on the final plan we had good play: when the court and their medical come into play. No, no writ is ready to move around. I needed to know. We came up with a big forth into earlier drug for the two trust for him. So we went for a tie one shot when the game that was on another mentality goes and coach make a call to find you find a way to make a play on whatever it takes. The the open really open receiver on the play KJ hammer not happy slamming his leg is helmet on the ground after the pass was thrown elsewhere and it was a complete Richard Sherman, who has familiarity with Russell Wilson is on the set of Amazon prime after the game. He did not like the call will is one argument can be made that that's what they should do. They were running it relatively effectively, but Richard Sherman did argue that they paid Russell all that money in the opener, they should put the ball in the hands of him and assist. It is what it is I independent of that. This is been an ongoing discussion now lease late last couple weeks. The National Football League is not off to a stellar. We haven't had a lot of good football not very good. And if you don't think that I am right argue with Tom Brady is all about football. From what I watch watch a lot about football a lot of poor quality football. He's right. We are just weird not being blessed with great football so far in this NFL season, but it's early.

There's a lot of factors for kicked at around a little bit later on I first year of major league baseball expanded start today. In fact, we are one out into the raise trip to Cleveland game one of their best of three series Shane McClanahan and Shane Bieber the starter so yes, it's the first ever meeting between guys name Shane in the opener of the playoffs. I actually have no idea if that's true claimant, but it seems logical right tell me another time it's happened.

Otherwise, this is the first two outs now raise raise have one more out to go to the top of the first Tyler glass now, and Tristan McKenzie. I believe tomorrow and this of this old would be the third start of the season for glass.

Now he bit out all injured all year made a couple of minor league rehab starts in Durham and it started just twice for the raise going about three innings each time so that will be game to everybody. Actually, I would say a lot of teams even have game to starters TBA because it kind of depends on what you do like that of the bats will talk about the Bensalem's couple second-tier going in chronological order. Phillies are in St. Louis. 2 o'clock start of the ABC game. The first game is ESPN game. All the romance with the Cardinals. All of it. Albert pools yacht here believe to be tough.

Phillies got the starting pitching edge maybe buy a lot in this year.

Certainly the top to Zach Wheeler today. Aaron Nola tomorrow. There they are awfully good they are. Cleveland is out of the top of the first and they will come to bat right now. Blue Jays host emeritus just after four great individual stars young stars really on both sides of the ball. Jay's only play off your last six was the pandemic season they got swept out of otherwise at me to put postseason since I believe 2060. The matters have not been in the postseason since they want to hundred and 16 games in 2001.

Yeah, they lost the a LCS that year to the Yankees five-game that was the year after Alex Rodriguez left for Texas so it was a Robert was gone from Seattle. They sought each euro so at Edgar Martinez let a bunch of other good players.

I actually think Brett Boone yeah hit 4341 home runs for the year or I don't yeah yeah somewhere around@he was a player but anyway they're very good team. Obviously, 160 games lost Yankees in a one Yankees were not to lose to the Arizona Diamondbacks of the World Series that year anyway so Blue Jays Mariners at Benson Padres tonight at Citi Field. 8 o'clock I drove her to get to the Mets 101 games that's tied for third best.

I believe in major league baseball behind the Dodgers and the Astros. Baxter's are you darkish the starting matchup here ensures a lost his only start against the Padres this season. Darkish to auto against the Mets water run 14 I talked to Ellie Johnson about that in the playoffs. In general it about 15 minutes using the dream on green Jordan pool. I hate to call it fight because Jordan pool didn't do anything. Yeah, you see the video I did access all this morning right so shout out TMZ once again forgetting the video I question how they get the video that my wife and you hire an investigator for anything I'm hiring TMZ right so find it. My question is this. Unless, or the media at practices for Golden State, I don't. Early season I don't know sometimes that's allowed early in the others. Open portions of practice but I think we would've seen this video surfaced earlier had been exactly you would've had real footage of this not looks like somebody's phone yeah okay so how they get it.

That is an interesting question for the Golden State Warriors to find out the answer to now the other thing is, the story is dream on green apologize to Jordan pool dog will that's is to be solved with an apology. Yeah, they suspended green for arguing with Kevin Durand consider that that's true.

I don't know how this moves forward. What Inc. to be comfortable. It will not become I we got five ACC games to consider this weekend. It's an interesting weekend for the ACC you have NC State and Florida State both try to come off of disappointing results. I'm not disappointed. Games but disappointing results. She stated disappointing.

Maybe for Florida State was to force it was a second best team in the field, as was state state had higher expectations of itself.

If you're Florida State look.

I think there are not even close to being what Florida State should be, but there better, and a significant height to be sitting in the right ways. There so much better than they been over the last couple years. They're not a dumpster fire and that's what they really have been a bit just a mistake filled Wake Forest. The perception is that week is just Wake Forest that's a good football team is getting that is a good football team. It's probably a top 15 team nationally. They just know what they're doing. Their offense is complicated to stop their quarterback is good.

They got good wide receivers they can block and run defense is good enough. I think the way she got Florida State here in Raleigh against NC State. I think both teams will struggle to score.

I think state will struggle less to score as I just think they're a little bit better offensively, but man, this is been the conversation all week long about the Wolfpack like Eddie to work this week. By the way, but it won't work when you try to go out and be close. You just gotta be a little bit more risk averse. You have to be willing to take a chance and to me, they were just not willing to do that against clubs to get up and when Becky they probably don't have to take a lot of risks to beat Florida State they could just play their game, which is rely on your defense may begin turnover but rely in your defense and rely on your offense being solid enough to put up 27 points, which is normal just like okay figuring college football to lose a lot of games. We discoursed 27 in college football but for which states defense against Florida State.

That's probably enough they wouldn't game if they can get into the mid-20s. I don't think Florida State unless there's less status on a train wreck offensively, helping Florida State to score more than 17, 20 point think they would like to have Becky Carolinas at Miami. That's an interesting game. Yeah.

Public perception was that Miami was we get we get carried away about being back back but we thought they'd be good. I'm not so sure they had big? I I think Carolinas offense is very good and if they don't get overwhelmed at the line of scrimmage which I don't think Miami can do. I think Carolina will score plenty. I don't know that Miami will keep up.

We don't know what the quarterback situation is going to be. We know Tyler VanDyke to play but if you get off to a good start against Carolinas defense.

They will pull the plug in a minute. Yet informing his middle Tennessee think they well they were thus almost 1/3 best team against middle Tennessee State yeah they were that much outclassed Carolina to another ally Carolyn went on the road and I like that to set up Carolina Duke prime time next week. That's right for the upper hand in the ACC rabbits are in the coastal none of the ACC in the coastal due to Georgia Tech what is Georgia Tech have left after firing.

They have loved to have anything left right and have pride left at this point think they should. They should be feeling really good about themselves because they fire the coach. Then they went to pit and they beat the Panthers a wrinkled up but I will say that Pittsburgh is especially offensively is more rank than ranked. Yeah, they were there not a good offense football team.

They have injuries slow. This is sometimes good and sometimes not, but they got issues, but Georgia Tech spent it all spent it all last week on the road you got Army at wake wake to win this game, but Army staff who knows armies played well in spite of being one in three winners against Villanova, but they've played decent competition and played well against it, just haven't been and that's it's Army football. I'm almost surprised that week is only a 16 1/2 point favorite in that game as it seems kinda low for me like that number should be higher. If it's anything like last year's game hammer, the over because those touchdowns for every five played out right like for Wake Forest. I would do that almost any time. Wake place you went some fences quite in their defenses just which means that a good team go to score. I float what was the final score Wake Forest like 31 2100. What the what the total was that might not have gone over but I don't know what the total for Army at wake is but all depends what Army wants to prove but I love Wake Forest became clubs and Boston College. I have no idea why this game is on national television. None at all.

05 no idea other then CVS took a prime time game. They have CBS's adult SEC doubleheader. Steve got Auburn at Georgia between the hedges as they like to say nice rivalry game and you've got the Alabama Texas A&M game, which is not really a rivalry game, but it is say Ben versus Fisher right so we got those two games they're both big spreads there both to be blowouts George Goodwin by a lot Alabama should win by a fair amount. Although we don't know about the status of Bryce younger quarterback was a shoulder injury. St. Nick Sabin was awfully flippant about his starting quarterback Heisman Trophy defending Heisman Trophy winner who wants to be a pro with a shoulder injury.

Sabin's all the time really, that's wonderful. This is the atom gold shell
