To purchase a new home refinance yours. Rocket mortgage can help you get there from on solutions that fit your life rock you can take E we have terrible and I mean terrible awful news here before we hit up the news. You have no clue I'm about to say could you just give me a really weird book know that I'm afraid this is probably great news for you. Awful news for me to do with you. Okay, I think what actually was very same opinion here, and it's terrible that the decision is terrible from Brett McMurphy. Sadly, Kok Cmdr. was not chosen as the official name of South Carolina's live mascot. The general is the new official name of the bird in homage the Revolutionary war general Thomas upper and not shacks insurance company. The general is not as bad as you get done. We have the general on the sideline.

I think Kok Cmdr. was the best one I thought it was the second best. I personally would've went with cockle doodle do I thought that was good.

On the Saturday show. I was hosting me a call or suggest this one Darius clunker who has good Darius record as a South Carolina law, which I did not realize yet that his armies are perfect and I thought I'd come on the connections right there the general on anything better than Jen not better than Kok Cmdr., or copy doodle dude Clark Norris great one okay. I was fine once again the bar is cockle doodle dude and caught Cmdr. cockle doodle dude is too long. It's long too long. Kok Cmdr. I know is my thick everyone around around it. You tell me Auburn's coming to town. There is Kok Cmdr. in the end zone got on his little motorcycle scooter zooming around for Menander.

Yeah everyone in the stadium was screaming that I wanted Kok Cmdr. on the sideline I would guarantee you Williams Brice Stadium would be a top-five hostile environment. If you are the rooster called Kok Cmdr.

No one is saying go there is the general on the sideline, you name the mascot, Kok Cmdr. will the different loom shake my boots. It's the general does not hit I hate to say it now Malad on Shane Beamer and Spencer Rattler this year I'm out gone over.

I know you said last out at the expense rather than the big your eloquent Shane Beamer is doing with the gamecocks of South Carolina, but now they key they go with the general handouts. Neither their decisions but they go for the live mascot the sideline. The general over Kok Cmdr., cockle, doodle, dude, or whatever you said about Darius but was the Darius clunker that was good to find my connection for guys looking saltier dance night on naming the steam after all those years of Washington commanders which socks I think a terrible name just kept the Washington football team. What loss to the general by God to be like that you know two or three names in the in the pile was Saturday. I got the general is better like Rory the rooster so my belly will we have to consider Kok Cmdr., but this is one of those times where Twitter is a necessarily reflexive side I think that's unfortunate. He said that we were all making a juvenile joke, sour. As you know, crazy minded jokes and Kok Cmdr. on twitter is a high and mighty executive for president or higher up in the better parts of our education system to say yeah our live mascot on the sideline. Kok probably not. If they service it was 20 names now just like the initial pool. I would bet a lot of money. Kok Cmdr. is not in the 20 only is anyone out as we were voting if we had the sororities and fraternities voting that would be a little bit different. Yet in the college students voting yes, Cmdr. would've one and we very rarely see people agree on twitter.

I think at least 85% on twitter would've agreed that Kok Cmdr. would've been the right choice or in the newspaper that put out that attendant. They pretend names was a runaway so you 10 options. Older people ever was an agreement. Big missed opportunity that is it. Some at the University. It was in charge of picking the sniffers name of the bird all it's a great quiet is that the new owner. That's a great question because it wasn't the whole fight that the old you are all over this. What was the fight with the old owner and the new owner there. It was about the comb on top of the roosters head of the old owners wanted to cut off because they thought that was what a fighting game. Kok is supposed to look like they wanted to be intimidating, like a fighting bird.

The new owners. They realize the comb is post, like help cool down the bird fishing the early September games is getting a lot out of bird write the health of the bird is more important than just having a look good, and the old owners are subsets they did not allow the new name to be used, which was big sir. Super.

So did the old owner have rights over big whatever survey they own the rights to the name they did on the bird anymore corrects kind of weird corrects like what you say. If this is me by God save it on the radio company wanted to go over me. I could go get owned by another radio company, but my old owner could have rights. I guess that makes sense. Business of the name in the brand and they could go all we don't want that name and brand to transfer even though the exact but you can call X-Acto basically background that down. That's what transpired here that is right, which is why we had a new search committee find a name as your point was the new owners actually wish the old owners got told by the new owners bleeped off, given the name over time.

Big name server super yet working to keep Big Sur spur and I would love to see not gone to court. Imagine all the jackasses that occurs in our legal system. That's what something we are wasting our time on to be a great cockfight got a prospectus murder case. Big and we got a big you know what battle here the rooster serve the delay. Everything else was a back there is some awful lot that was going on in the community were to push that back about three or four weeks to get the velocity priorities for the DVDs. On Saturday I get this figured out. This is kind of weak. The general I didn't think I was getting really care either way. But after all the hype and the hoopla that we had over the weekend and go back to last week.

The general is overgrown with the general is the generic name that's what I went to Fraser's differentiate yourself and South Carolina and had to be. I would think that the new owners probably consulted the school little bit but doesn't South Carolina under Shane Beamer. There there being really involved in social media there trying to be young, but doing a great job handing out scholarships that one player and I was a fun little social media video from the walk into SEC media days was pretty cool. The general just not cool better names here. It doesn't seem like this is on brand with the direction and the way that the football teams going after huge turnaround to wince the seven wins in Shane Beamer's first year, especially when you're honoring the general from some of the Revolutionary war time like 300 years now to honor them by naming of rooster after, come on regardless and great self-assured did by think we can honor him otherwise and leave a rooster names a little more fun and it's pretty lame here Kok Cmdr. and not Kok Cmdr. knowledge of Goma that I thought cockle doodle dude how to gala Darius clunker if not Darius clunker did you have another one ignores these you would never forget it be a big talking point every game instead. Now is the general and selling art is over with. It is its this is a little small blip in the in the conversation. Good news is for Jade J Van clown.

His jersey or times overshadowed. If you had Kok Cmdr. is the name of the rooster, I'm sorry the number seven retirement sir morning Saturday at overshadowed by the debut of the brand-new restraining that's for sure.

This we can achieve our answers retired so congrats to Judy on his day was preempted by the roosters new name they could've pushed back the ceremony grounds but now is push back the next year. I don't think they name the. The animal Kok Cmdr. that you David and Connie would even give a crap what I sent him but I think more people be excited about the scene. The new rooster name then seeing number seven will refuse. Think more people would be lining up to go to a football game to see Kok Cmdr. if they need to Kok Cmdr. and said the general than today.

Van Karcher percent yielding some all, so that's a sense of media know that thing that's real real lining up our times are social media and your understanding of social media does not reflect the true thoughts aside.

I bet you would be the line if it was a meeting great next to each other today going funny Kok Cmdr. I bets in life are Kok Cmdr. be longer and more people are taking selfies with the Kok Cmdr. yes and she gave young Claudia all you I'm about to give up like an afterthought.

I guess I get kind to can I just take a picture of any rooster in sale. This is Kok Cmdr. this the general sounded, and I don't know what the difference called table club you're going to know if you're in the reference you're stuck on financially.

I don't think so. You know the bird looks like. Do you really orienting a younger random farm for the South Carolina jersey and say hello, I met Kok Cmdr. today was but that might not know is believing. Come on this I just searched a photo of the bird. You would have no clue I wouldn't South Carolina and I would also defend the retaken picture from Brenda Farner and Ellison known his gaze got to be somewhere that in the state that by the commander that generally be somewhere other than a baseball stadium or football stadium home to some just you know if you get a picture in your social media cloud, doing so in a random field of the random roosters are the dumbest conversations ever had probably got a lot of big spur to the general whenever an else wanted to hear Kok Cmdr. This is why college football. Zach is the best espionage last week were worth discussing right now that the merits of a rooster's name before opening weekend. You can get this and other sport the best time to have an unpopular opinion here on. I really don't like the live animals on the field you like Devo. The Colorado running out with the bond only was I love that it's all, will was a Texan George a few years ago when the poor little bulldog Mr. Scott destroyed. Yes, that was the game. Texas was cortical back. Yeah, I'm sorry I don't see a nice-looking bulldog almost destroyed by some cow cattle line that's I was out blame or the handling of either the universities or the operations after the stadium for putting them to to to go together. I love the light and more intimidating. I don't know Mike the Tiger else your nose in the stadium but have your own like the Tiger sort of you know right there roaming around on campus that's bad ass. It paints the college football game at Penn State ran out of the what you and Frank but still Beverly did, sure.

But listen: you have more height you have just a bigger letdown. At least the intro vehicle have that money out of the tunnel like Temple has Stella Veale and the owl flies around Auburn is that you were real before the yeah III don't need an owl flying around and I always wonder when I go to those games, especially to the leaf course in which indoor building like since 12,000 set of Lincoln financial Field seats almost 70,000 if the house is in a bad mood. One day, what happens Veale is always going right back to its perch, but I do get concerned on what happens there, and I feel like it's always an end in one of those videos were inside America and you have the bear at the circus and the one day the bear fights back the bandits in the circus that's always for happens with animals on the side when you got it. You gotta train them so far.

These universes done a great job that they handle it with care.

You're a sucker for these animals. All I love them exported pageantry for college football I can. I loaded auger on the sideline.

Come on his little Scott which one is that Georgia that's the culpable of yes UGI it's not very it's not very original. We could advocate for this. Can we change the names of these mascots that's fine.

Like Devo, just patrolling there in Texas games Prince Google it's cool. I promise you this week to Alabama, Texas, and was watch the game after hundred 10° hopefully put in the shade, but it's part of the story is big Devo there's that same running right by beaver them how to get health and ask. Could you imagine etc. one out of the tunnel on top of the elephant. Imagine the recruiting pitch Nick Sabin and I've been around some good docs you may have heard a company Aflac that I endorse. Tell me why you can be great elephant for our program.

I think it only helps boost the schools brand yeah about animals house is now at the general they could had the Kok Cmdr. they go gentle now. All animals should just go back into the wild. They should not have the silence of the palatable gives the big take from those big Tyrell Salkind is rooted for everyone. I kind of been quiet.

I'm not usually quite the kind of been quite the last few years about my dislike. I said here and there but not as porches usually am. My dislike for having live animals of the sideline at college events and now really ready to come forward passionate about this and tell you how much I dislike how Bolick Florida State when they went out with the horse before the game of the seminal on the horse. They put the spear the 50 yard line yada not to. Anna out all my notes on a lot of storylines I will. I like at Ohio State with the marching band to do that one more to bring people back. It's great when things go wrong. Actually very quiet part of me says you got what you deserve. Okay you got what you deserve. There's a delay this week and force it to the horse bucks free to meet someone this weekend and that that would end up on my freezing cold takes or something.

The flaming spear lights artificial turf on fire, and the whole game is canceled that builds on CBS portrait will come back with in his brief listening to the second Guild show daily news brief: open ports, since sports is all. Personally, I was got different situations are doing so will have really unique challenges for life for 45 years old man going on so you try to figure out like the best you can. You know it's a continuous process now.

It was reported that this is something to do with anyone tell if that's true I don't know. I understand Brady run ever affixes life is graded and Giselle to general problem people have. It's not fair to speculate. I think Brady just wanted to be away and I think that this is one of the sacrifice he had to make was to be away for 1011 days of this is reportedly agreed upon in the organization knew about, even though the sloppy process. I was announced, thanks for the things that Giselle said you want to go play football this year. Ryan then you have to go take 1011 days off and it's one of those small sectors that you make the summer so that when the football season comes around. Tom Brady could be locked and ready to go with him.

That's about that. I mean, that could make sense because look, he's going through something. Otherwise he wouldn't miss 11 is a training camp known Tom Brady is telling us there's something on the field. It's sounds a little higher like he's been doing for it for a while.

Or maybe take a more time than he would've expected. Maybe Brady knows this is not the right way to approach things when your quarterback when you the face of the organization in the face of the franchise that you do whatever he wants. I'll be ready to go for the start of the season and maybe just didn't want to miss these 1011 days and then he had to go on this vacation with his family that he probably didn't want to be on even though it's nice to be able to spend time with your family, but he knows it's wrong what you're part of a team, but it's one of the ways that he could get the blessing as white people point football.

It's exactly this now you want to go.

He was one thing really take a break so that the case not a big problem now Brady just doesn't want to deal with this in face the music. Speaking to the media and tell us what's actually going to be expected going through something not, you know, love, and it sounds like dejected going through some sort that makes it seem more bid market all I generally talk a little a little conflict with your wife.

You pray, it's a little 11 days you're missing 11 days of your you know if Lauren is mad at me because I watch the Colts preseason your numbers 11 days in the show that you may be missing the rest. The rest of your life with her.

You live your life might be right on those and 11 days in the shofar that you know you never know if Lauren tells you.

You go take a what will actually happen this summer Lauren told you take a vacation island with Cipro for weeks. That's what happened right that the days are scheduled to, and I think the bucket is a lie a little bit more entendre than I rely on you know that sideline you know you just never been trying to go to another team. In previous offseasons also find the temperance of those places all supposed to one place think this whole organization. All the conversations that we had over. I chose the right place for me the biggest Tom Brady fan. There is the league literally said you and the dolphins had conversations multiple conversation attempt is the only place that you wanted to go to the only place that you consider that's bull crap if I've ever heard bull crap and I love Tom Brady I said before you walk into a barbecue punch my father in the face and of itself. They sit down here some hotdogs or some hamburgers or some steak or some chicken whatever you want. You want that avocado ice cream whatever that nonsense is that you eat, go ahead by can we be honest there for a second you talk to the dolphins yet extensive conversations with people involved, the Miami Dolphins organization you going to plain in Miami and it happened multiple times when you were five free-agent or lined up to potentially become available and 2019 useful point of age afraid to next year and I know he wasn't a free-agent heading into this off-season but you were trying to go to the dolphins after this football season where you not to. Don't try to talk to us now if you're super that's a pretty good though because come week one will be sit around and try to Tom Brady for 45 points against Dallas Cowboys hold decal announces that Sheena Smith sees how the mighty have fallen will start week one for the sick. So his outing and start start job with the timing of time from Sukkot. Mr. Forster drew just as real time as before and so clear about that. So that's what you know so little.

But no sales desk just ran out of time a.k.a. we were big believers in the sky so the only way that I could interpret that answer right ring at a time. Another week he would have overtaken the job that I stunk cowboys for strings is like take after pick. Also, what's up, Pete Carroll's microphone some of hot hot Mike is that the new approach of press conferences this year. You can only hope you don't have to hold me accountable because muscles and on the town now decode my paraffin told Mike total lack of the year with Gino or maybe Jerry walked in were basically good and just hope her so bad be bad for Bryce of some first-round leftover that hopefully just a quarterback competition for the future. That's over sound like he was making out with the microphone Bill Belichick to schedule one answer grumbles and moves on. She Love to the microphone hope she don't know 42nd Mike, is that he's made a decision about who will start a quarterback week one might, but you guys my cohabit today again like a told you guys the other week that we not commit knee-jerk reactions and statements. Following the performance will go to our proper professional procedure will evaluate the game will meet with the front office people will have discussions but will talk internally. Will talk external possibilities will go through our normal procedure. This time of year that will disclose it to you at our leisure. To be quite honest with not talking about wins and losses just the way they conduct the media and interact with the media check. Mr. mumbles decal tried to just make out with the microphone Mike Tomlin eloquent your every word that he has to say and he's authoritative when he speaks nothing in the answer just use big words but I locked my car. I will refer Mike, Nikki was clear and thorough. That was 23 seconds of basically laid out exactly were these people those people watch the film.

It was 23 seconds of just won't walk along the wall along except you would've thought he was a professor at Harvard with the way that he was speaking of Mike, which he explained that he should be the week one start so confident with where Matt so confident with Ron and in our overall developing is often so I feel confident shown I could run this offense. I can leave this off and send and I would take self-esteem when games start the game first. Jimmy G in San Francisco or Kenny Pickett in Pittsburgh anything I think so too.

I think that's it happened early because in San Francisco I think people know that you which is not good when your Super Bowl entry lances looked at as the future. Now, the future finally get to become the president and there will be a portion of the fan base, a minuscule amount. If things struggle that I understand to say back to get this kid off the field in Pittsburgh. They're going to start Mitch Stravinsky 85 or 90% of the families is not north of that number. The first mistake that your body makes.

They're gonna want to go right to Kenny Pickett and the Jets early on the Steelers but the Jets like week four of the pulpit was scheduled. If that's the case, and I think that Kenny Pickett to start week one because it's better" of a competition to find, but if you are a veteran this league, you should block the rookie and that didn't happen so let by Cincinnati, New England, Cleveland if he does not think it is not in start week one will be the start of October 2 unites week for up against the JPS jets jets jets check the only time he doesn't mumble. The only time he shows some energy is when Chris shows up at a press conference.

Listen up as will will you will will will my grease so please this year it's important. What's important is that Chris Blumer Chris Berman boomers here to sit here until talk things over with mad Joe make a collective decision this year, but I have all authoritative power surges that start me answer your questions to me and I want answer them. But on the judge, jury and executioner hunters of the Belgian well-known patient circles like his affinity for crisper. I've never seen it before.

I never seen Bill Belichick smile crisper clap for someone. I just use very random real Chris Berman's on the media anymore on that ESPN plus he does this do something a countdown legendary guy crisper and Belichick probably got to know Chris Berman when Belichick wasn't Bella Jack and he let his guard down, will have some fun nights together, Chris Berman, Bill Belichick be my guess is respect history if there was one guy that I was here.

I think that reaction come from polygamy.

Chris Berman asked why does the Buffalo Bills know not know what you think. I got on the queue like anyone in the media like the media like the Johns Hopkins lacrosse coach you to use the cultural openings on the overnights at WFAN okay and he was.

That's my that is made of glass. Maybe Chris Berman can be called the place this year for the patriot. Maybe matching Berman on the sideline back Jones is, in fact else. Or Matt Jones going back that I feel that the more guys they parking for a touchdown.

Jerry Rice you that this earlier today. Now we know Jim if you get to be staying which relates to the QB once or 9570 game Jerry Rice to go on the 49ers keeping Jimmy G is a backup is a bad thing. It would be a bad thing, but think you know what free trade. What will be able to be looking over your shoulder will will be good because now you know you got a quarterback on Jimmy G may be built like will pressure their person because you don't tell my five to go back unless there's an injury this year.

I don't care what the record is what you gave up for Trey Lance in the way that you talked about trail and she got a start of each and every that's also lost on why he decided idiotically. Pickett on cider when he was up 28th 17 the third quarter in Ireland. We had a really good chance of winning the game and I felt like maybe we seem and you can't really foresee them scored 14 straight sputter and after we played well to start the second half and often so again those excuses invited over when Michael so Hankey he thought he was the better team. So while he was 28 to 17 let's cut the field and half when we don't recover the onside kick and will still be able to kick their ass because were the better team should be fired on the spot after that answer, that's terrible. That is off and if I could go back and do it over again I would do it. At that point they may go back and have the same calling line at that point, when the game right.

Like you, that's what something is really over Wendy. Now I think were the better team. Not really sure.

So let me just to guys I can ignore the score 14 checkpoints, which they did. Scott Frost talked about his coaching staff and of the offense needs to be more creative. Again, I give their staff letter credit to.

There was some steam things that they had his own offense of I think were gonna have to learn is an officer staff that you creative in this lien so we we have some things that we can work on that. We did a lot of good things but it's got to be more completely changes are made bro in your five head coach at Nebraska we passed the learning stage right. If you trained on the show and you on the show for five years and you go to learn how to run the board here.

Past that stage when it comes to learning you been working at this thing for five years. Just that this program the offenses staff has to learn that we got a little more creative in this league is JV nine football you the eye this off-season. Mark Whipple checked Mark Whipple, Kenny Pickett was a pet offense plan last year.

Did I miss something or they weren't prolific in scoring more.

The really more creative things to learn chance and walking but I hired them a lot to learn about walking back in 35 minutes ago. He's not making it to the season and of the press conferences after the 2017 lead his press conference is worse than the choke hold. I wanted to rest the season. I want Scott Frost audio after every Nebraska I don't care if their plain cupcake, you, I want the worst and best moments from his press conference and every news brief. Can you do that are used to learning yours is chugging more creative a lot to learn in this league that don't show on CBS sports radio listening to the second Guild show and you are sorry car care need to guarantee low prices and excellent customer service from the professional parts people at O'Reilly auto parts is that guilt show on CBS sports radio Dave Lapham will do a little first and goal three teams her neck remain will knock it down to today as a preview, the defending AFC champion Cincinnati Bengals with their former offense alignment does a great job now as their color analysts in Dave Lapham 9:20 PM Eastern, 6:20 PM Pacific, 552124 CBS 855-212-4227.

Let's take a stop in North Carolina. Matt is next up on CBS sports radio Mac, go ahead, help you not hire young quarterback chronicling year. I'm not understanding you like trying to prove everyone hard to disagree with you and say okay just tell the benefit of the doubt until we trust. But in this case, it makes no sense to me because he brought in a no name offense of coordinator that would be one thing if they had had some experience on the offenses side of the ball. I want to get the Joe judges a quarterback forever ago and that he coach wide receivers one year, he made a name for himself or if you want to say that he got head coaching job because of his special-teams core dating duties and more so because Bill Belichick recommended him to the Giants in that rule and take the Giants job and like Matt, Patricia, he was an offense of analyst offense of assisted back in the early 2000's. This guy actually made a name for himself as a defensive coordinator so whatever way they explain this and I think it's good to be Patricia. It's stupid it's stupid. It makes no sense. I would've gone out there and brought them Bill O'Brien and bring them back.

But that's not what they did and Bill O'Brien now is once again get the offense of coordinator of the Alabama Crimson Tide, but to bring in an offense if Courtney were to have a name one yet and they will, but that's one of those guys call the place you have to be met. Patricia Joe judges stupid.

He's never called the place before playing the league. He's been with the staff. The last few years.

Just make Troy Brown the offense of coordinator whose their current wide receivers and kickoff returns, coach a better option. These two bozos in that Patricia Joe Judge O'Brien where his system.

Well, been around back of quarterback Veronica poured off on a headset you like what cooking right there with calamari the preseason and let them collide and he's better than what you have Brian waiver to O'Brien where, or repetition, where the calendar and try to get him a job with the taxes that go to the office Courtney to his resume insert some right mix everything called said to us a favor Bill, we want to make coach mentioned bank making offense coordinator in agreement with that.

Let's go to Jay in Alaska. Jay would shake the great general government broke I'm doing for thy sake, walk more.

All was good job: the Brian Hickey show this weekend, but my own. These approved by Hickey.

Did you run these plastic is no you did not hear any of these names so you can you put Jay on the air so J a bit better be appropriate for the I got my finger on the dump on and go ahead. He spurs again. What was the original name big Sir super you probably couldn't do something big spurs so maybe I don't know. I feel as if you need to go to totally different direction. That's what they did with the general but they didn't go with the Cox Cmdr. Akaka dual-boot expert McCall jailer. He was right he did run is by thought his guy like me will I just like they look funny buzzing, like not getting what I was good to find the funny know why I persist like I was some more outside adjuster like the one he named… He didn't say before I call the hotline says the two names and then when he gets on the air just goes to totally completely different direction, you folks could have yeah we trust J but you never know you trust J, I trust her.

I just trust J to: I had never know what the contents going to be some of the raters in their car when the Super Bowl so that your bird names are still burning.

The next thing you know Jane, alas, is the advocating for this new name of the mascot to now become the official mascot of the raters you have him in the sideline J could be the real live writer on a pirate ship to be great, Jane Alaska rest stop as a writer, pretty bad ass like the Vikings have the mascot on the motorcycle leads a team out something. It's not a Quisling on a ship taken the team out of the tunnel called the raters Mark Davis will give a phone call to Josh McDaniel, Dana White, Dana White, Dana center has an end with the Mark Davis rented to Las Vegas. I think we need to make J Alaska, the official mascot for the raters five questions five answers on sides outside next exec… It is worth ready
