Let’s get nasty on a Wednesday it’s a f l on 101 ESPN with Carri Davis Andrew marsham Anthony Stalter Jam’s got the day off today as he’s traveling with the blues who will be in uh DC tomorrow as they take on the capitals 202 your time check is brought to you by Clarkson

Jewelers officially licensed Rolex Jeweler glad to see you got your uniform on today yeah we are all teammates today it’s uh pretty awesome five of us wearing the uh 101 ESPN shirt go to the merch store get you some purchase purchase what you need uh you can get it

Taken care of sooner later I don’t know if they can oh no my said they could I think that was in December oh shoot Carrie come on now you got to buy everybody’s sweatshirts I didn’t get the memo you didn’t you got gray on got gray

It’s not the same I don’t know how we all put on the same switch today I haven’t worn this in in probably is there group chat that I’m not a part of or what’s going on here us two Rock mhm Tanner Grant yeah we all we’re rolling we’re team we’re

Teammates we’re Team 101 ESPN did the did the Blues prove anything to you over this previous stretch of games if you want to leave us a mic drop on this we’re going to be using this as a small theme throughout the course of the day I

I had said this yesterday or maybe it was the day before the the blues do feel like a team that while they’re still inconsistent that at least I know what I’m getting mhm more more often than I did before like I feel like the effort the performance you’re going to get

Incons you’re I don’t care how good you are you’re going to have stretches where you’re not great you’re have stretches where you are great we haven’t seen like the really high highs or the really low lows with this team but I do feel like there’s it they’re a little bit more

Steady than they were before there was a report on the athletic I can’t remember who who did it but he said this team would be essentially not win more than two or three games a year I mean at this season in a row and not lose more than

Two or three games in a row and that’s pretty much where they have been kind of Middle Ground just you know that’s what they are right now and I think you have to I think the notion that believing that they are a playoff team or a Deep

Run playoff team not right now yeah they they are they are good enough to play with some of the best teams but not good enough to put their foot on the throats of not good team team so you know when you are that inconsistent that’s essentially who you are good teams

Really beat the hell out of bad teams and and at least go 500 against the really good teams and this team is kind of it’s just up and down and so you have to take that with a grain of salt and just expect them to be that way this

Season I still think they’re a playoff team do you yeah really I do where where are they at right they still third in the wild card I think that this is this is a team that was going to battle all year to get a wild card spot and I think

They’re still going to battle to get a wild card spot okay so they get into the playoffs and then what probably losing the first round and I’m not being snarky about it I just I don’t think I don’t think that this team has been or was

Equipped to make a Deep Run I think they they were going to be a wild card team from the get-go Marc you got it pulled up where they at yeah they are about five points out of the second Wild Card Spot Nashville Predators own that spot

And then Edmonton is the first wild card team with 49 points but Nashville does have two more games played than the blues and a lot of teams do except for the Arizona Coyotes who are also at 42 games played I don’t think they’re going to catch Edmonton Edmonton’s got A plus 23

Point differential and they only have 40 games played Nashville with a plus one everybody else is similar to the blues the Kracken are on a great run right now but the the Calgary Flames zero point differential minus six for Seattle plus two for Arizona and then you know minus

15 for the blues and then it gets worse from there but nobody’s running away with this second Wilds card but I didn’t expect that they were going to win the division I didn’t expect that they’re going to get one of the top three spots in the central I know that Doug

Armstrong said yeah you know we expect to be the third team in the central I didn’t expect that I expect them may one of the two wild card teams the the point differential doesn’t bother you because I’m looking at all of these teams minus the Tampa Bay Lightning every team that

Is in the playoffs has a uh positive Point uh Point differential it it does bother me that that’s not really good but plus one for Nashville if I if I take a look at where other teams are cuz a lot of times we can’t see the Force Through the Trees we’re only

Concentrating on the problems of our of our teams the teams rooting for Nashville at plus one they’re not blowing anybody out granted it’s minus it’s better than minus 15 much better but if edmanson was sitting there at plus 23 and Nashville was plus 15 okay those teams are playing significantly

Better than you are yeah I think that second wild card is still a possibility am I crazy yes Gary says yes Andrew Marsh says no you’re not crazy you’re not crazy I just I don’t know where I’m at if I want this team to be a playoff team or just be one

Of the be as is not be as is they’re a middling team right now like what direction are you going in in the future like do you do you want more draft Capital like better draft picks or do you want a first round playoff exit now

This team has shown that they can can beat good hockey teams and they lose to can they have on one night can they beat a good hockey team in a series because that’s different that is very different anybody there you go so I won’t say anybody but most teams that are how the

Blues are on a good night on your best night and maybe not the opposing team’s best night you can win that game but can you win a series well actually take that back I mean Jordan Bennington could steal you a series I just wouldn’t I wouldn’t expect it based on everything

Else so I shouldn’t say no so blatantly Jordan Bennington is is more than capable of stealing a series but if you look at the entire team and say do the problems outweigh bennington’s ability to steal a series I would say yeah the problems outweigh it I mean do you think

They could win four games in a series versus the golden knights no unless Jord benington steals it what what do you want from me car huh you come in here with the same sweatshirt as I and now you’re like basically saying you know what you’re talking about I’m just asking because

Are they a wildcard team I don’t think so you I don’t not not right now talk to me in talk to me after they secure a spot talk to me March yeah after they secure car’s like let’s see how it all plays out and then I’ll tell you now I I

Definitely don’t think they’re a third place team in the central like Doug Armstrong said at the beginning of the year that they could be they’re not they’re not no so we can put that to bed that is not going to happen well I I have I have maintain Marsh you know this

I have said this is a wildcard team that should be the expectations after missing the playoffs last year and you know what they better be a wild card team because you got a lot of contracts that are that that cannot be moved got a lot of contracts that have the no trade clause

There is no rebuild coming this was always a retool a rebuild consist of tearing it down and then rebuilding it so you’re not tearing anything down you’ve got contract exit can’t be moved you better win you better get a wild card spot better is a a tough word for me in

Terms of I just don’t the roster moving forward well you would hope that they put themselves in a position to make the wild card to win a wild card spot but how do you do that if you can only if you can’t get to four games over 500

Which they haven’t been able to do I think Joey said yesterday I’ve had nine opportunities to do it and each time they they just fail to make it there it’s just something about that that that’s that’s being able to continue get a streak going winning three out of four

Winning five out of six or or six out of eight that just they haven’t been able to do that yet this season and I think that that’s you kind of got to do that to win a series if you were to make it to the playoffs so if they haven’t been

Able to do it yet this year I don’t think making it to the playoffs is is where they are right now to your point Carrie we’ll know what after what comes first we’ll know whether or not they’re a wild card team okay if they put together a five or six

Game winning streak we know they’re capable of making a wild card if they get to a five or six game losing streak then I’m with you yeah but they haven’t had either thus far they haven’t they just been that’s the good and the bad of being an inconsistent team you kind of

You see the flashes against the Rangers and all the team all the good teams that they’ve beaten and then you’ve got kind of a dud against Philadelphia or first teams cuz Philadelphia really I mean they’re not they’re not a bad team by any means they’re they’re second in in

The Metro we’ve seen Duds against against Bad teams but they have not had a four or five game losing streak yet either so whatever comes first we’ll know whether or not this is a wild what if neither happens and they win two lose two win three lose one this is what

They’re gonna be win one and lose three like and this is what you got me Carrie okay because you got me I don’t see either one Happ finches were a bad idea I get it I don’t think they’re good enough to win six in a row and I don’t

Think they’re bad enough to lose six in a row they’re painfully average then is what you’re saying leave us a mic drop you can participate in this do you think the blues at this point are at least a wild card team we’re not talking about winning a series

We’re not talking about making a run we’re just talking about earning the second wild card that’s it the bar has been set do you think the blues get to that leave us a mic drop via the free 101 ESPN app and we’ll play your mic drops throughout the course of the show

Was it important for the younger Cardinals to experience a losing season last year we’ll get into that next on 101 SPN hey Anthony after an incredible super Wild Wild Card Weekend guess what we’re on to the divisional round for these teams it’s win or go home but you

That there’s going to be those ups and downs and I think for for the young guys you know being able to go through that in a season where you know we didn’t really perform the way we wanted to is probably beneficial in terms of you know their longevity and their career so they

Can you know understand that part of it move on from there and then be better for it welcome back to the fast lane that was Lars n Bar at winter warmers talking about how important it is for younger players to experience failure and and how that allows them to be better

Players and Anthony is not here yet but Mary when you’re a younger player you know one of the things that you go through is is the experiences of of struggling and and it’s really hard to kind of figure out who you are as a young player and how you become a better

Player and a veteran player those are some of the most critical points times of a career is when you’re going going through that moment as a young player trying to find success yeah and and struggling because part of you tells you hell I might not be able to do this like

The dimensions of a of a baseball field are the same you know some things change as the older you get the basketball court is the same the football field is the same length the players still the same number of guys but at some point when you’re a younger player and you’re

Not having success you’re man I may not be good enough to make it at this level I definitely think it’s different with with baseball too but because you can fail 70% of the time and still be a fantastic baseball player so I think the the mental game in the game of baseball

It it could be definitely different than other sports I’m conflicted on this because I don’t think you want to ever have the that that not that it’s a mentality but it can be that losing that losing mentality you don’t want to know what losing is like because you you

Don’t you don’t want to have that like you just said I’m not good enough or we’re not good enough or the finger pointing starts where you know I I I don’t think but how many teams that we have seen win a championship we see this

In the NBA a lot yeah you have to lose first go through to win you got to you got to go through it you’ve got to be you got to develop those calluses you have to learn what it’s like to go through True Grit and then emerge so

Again I’m kind of conflicted on that I don’t know if there’s a if there was a benefit from losing last year unless you do it learn from it and everything changes the the following year I think the losing helps you appreciate the winning that much more when you when you

Go through a period now if you’re losing every game and losing often I’m thinking about like my son’s team my son played football last year for a different organization and they lost every game I don’t think that there’s anything to gain from that because you’re kind of reinforcing bad habits you’re not having

The success and then it doesn’t become fun when you’re a professional athlete when you lose ow and 16 lions right they go 0 and there is nothing to gain from that you need to have some success at some point to make you feel better and

To keep you coming back it’s like golf I I it’s the worst game in the world right in my opinion because I want to be successful and then I hit a great shot then it’s the best game in the world and I’m like I’m Tiger Woods and then the

Next shot no I’m not but the success is what keeps you going back if you never hit that good shot you’ll never feel like you have the chance to be Tiger Woods and so therefore you won’t continue to play so having success does does allow you to stay engaged keep you

Kind of the the the carrot that you’re chasing after something that you have to go after because you feel like eventually you’ll get there I also think that losing exposes like who you really are too oh you know when you’re losing you’re down even think about just everyday life you go through something

And it’s your fault right like you you did something you’re you’re essentially losing in life you have an opportunity now to build yourself back up to learn from it to actually change to prove that human beings can change and you learn you grow and you know what it felt like

To be down yeah so from that standpoint as we go transition back to sports and the Cardinals a year ago how many players in that Clubhouse experienced the losing experienced what it felt like maybe did some finger poin it’s not me it’s you Circle back to no what what did

I do yes that did not contribute to wins and then grow if that’s what happens that Marsh to your question that you laid out was important for some of the younger Cardinal to experience losing yes if you don’t learn from it though and losing becomes becomes the norm it’s

It’s a now transition to negative mindset then no to hell with that because the losing is just going to keep keep continuing well what is more important though when it comes to these younger players is it losing in the regular season or could it be losing

In the playoffs and when you gain that Mo that that experience in the playoffs you know you’re in that playoff atmosphere and then you feel the the the the loss right you feel that loss you’re like we’re so close we’re almost there and then you continue to build or is it

Better to just lose in the regular season and build into a playoff team I I’ve been a young player and lost in the NFC championship game there is nothing that felt great about that there was nothing that made me say yeah I can’t wait no I was like oh this is terrible

And then you got the and then I I slept through the first half of the Super Bowl cuz I’m think we should be playing this week and then I turn it on and watching the the Eagles play the the Patriots so I don’t think that feeling I I understand you want to get

Those losses out of the way because it’s so hard it is so hard to win a championship and if you got a team that’s good enough that that you know maybe you make a mistake here or there and then you sit on that for potentially

The rest of your career if you never get back to that point so I don’t I don’t believe that losing in the playoffs makes you feel better or or or gives you more I guess get at it because you did that I think just losing during the

Season is is tough but if you make it to the playoffs your ultimate goal has to be be to win it all because you don’t know if if and when you’ll ever make it back to that point so car you you were with the Colts then the Falcons and that

Was the NFC championship game that you’re talking about I didn’t realize that the Bucks were sandwiched in between the Falcons and Steelers as well as the Dolphins so you were with the dolphins too we don’t talk about the dolphins that was Nick sain I was there

For one week ah and I have a theory as to why I was there for one week I eventually I’m gonna find Nick Sabin and ask him because I got to know okay but I I I they had a first round draft pick I don’t I forget what his name is but I

Almost killed him on the sideline he’s a first round safety or corner almost killed him I I didn’t he didn’t he didn’t but I almost did they ran through him and part of him was left on the field the other part was on the other side and I think they brought me

In to gain his to get his confidence back up really that didn’t work for him either when they brought me there so just the one week they said one week I I honestly think that that’s why they brought because his confidence was he was bruised okay it’s a bad bad uh

Showing for that young man you can find his name it was 200 4 2005 pre season you were there in ‘ 06 06 then it was 06 then so Jason Allen DB yep out of Tennessee yeah oh if I could ever find that I don’t even remember him

Wouldn’t much like Jamie ruined the uh the organization of the Arizona Coyotes Carrie ruined this guy’s career no kidding and probably Nick savs because if that’s your first round draft pick and I did what I did to him on that sideline it’s pretty bad man I had teammates college teammates on that

Miami Dolphins think like CD what oh my God yeah it’s a sliding doors moment Nick sa could have been Nick Sabin in the NFL but Carrie might have that young man I don’t know how many games he played in the NFL but that game in the

Preseason was a rough day for that young man uh Jason Allen played in uh he was only in Miami for the four years and then he must have got traded to Houston he I mean he lasted a little while he’s a first round draft pick he

Should yeah he had 98 games 23 starts he wasn’t wasn’t going to happen for him after that wow confidence is a is a is is a thing where I was going but anyways when you got young players confidence when you got to the Steelers you won the

Super Bowl but did you guys lose in the playoffs 07 we lost we lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars at home was that uh was that was that David Gard yep so then you guys won the Super Bowl and then in 09 what happened didn’t make the playoffs eight and eight all right yeah

Because to Marsh’s question there I do think it’s interesting and I I understand where you’re going with this Marsh where it I if you if you’re a young team and you you have a lot of success in the regular season and in the postseason you lose

But you kind of realize okay we have got to get to another level as opposed to losing in the regular season where you’re not tasting that you don’t know what it feels like to get to the post season so I actually think there is a difference in in when you lose it

Depends on how you lose because we lost that 07 season to Jacksonville we were tired like we Mike T first year we were in full pads literally every week of the Season even into the playoffs normally come Wednesday in in week 8 nine 10 you’re no longer in full pads we were

Wednesday every Wednesday full pads tackled to the ground through the playoffs it became a running joke and we like this this guy’s crazy he’s GNA kill us but I think we were tired and fatigued and then the following year he took a little bit off of us and so we

Were able to have that you know sustain that energy and not be fatigued and not be beat down and go and make that run into the playoffs in 08 makes sense okay it’s interesting so it it it just matters it depends on how you lose and

That was a team that was two years removed from just winning a Super Bowl yeah so they had done it themselves it it’s a lot of veterans but when you do have younger guys losing can help kind of fuel the fire but how you lose and when you lose I think definitely matters

And we got an interesting text from the 314 I really like this point if you learn from your losses then you learn how to win if you lose and you don’t learn anything from it then you’re not going to gain anything from it no absolutely not you’re right so it’s the

Fast Lan on 101 ESPN is Jordan love and CJ St have they cemented their status in the league after this weekend so essentially we know the Texans have their guy are we positive the Packers have theirs that’s next I want to win ESPN hey it’s Carrie and I want to tell you

Capitals tomorrow night right here on 101 ESPN the Packers defeated the Dallas Cowboys this past week and the Texans took down the Browns as Jordan love and CJ strad cemented their status in the league after this weekend we’ll dive into that next right here in the fast

Lane I’m Andrew Marsh and the sports center update is driven by Johnny La find New Roads and 247 at lf.com and Loff autoplex.com are you kidding Me has Jordan love and CJ stenter their status in the league after this weekend absolutely 100% yes I think CJ stad cemented himself in the league after after the rookie season after the regular season Midway through the seasonly on I think he proved that he

Can he can hang Jordan love I think it it really clicked for him in the second half of the season but then people still had the questions about how are these guys going to look in the playoffs both were outstanding CJ st’s a little bit easier

He’s a rookie mhm some people saw him coming some people didn’t I didn’t I didn’t at all I didn’t think he was going to be bad I just I’m like okay well we’ll kind of see how this plays out yeah I didn’t have him turning around the Texans after just one year

Jordan love I liked Jordan love I liked because I liked the organization the organization had been been through this before MH I I believe that leflour his offense was capable of more I think he designed a lot of things around Rogers as well he should have but

I think that the the criticism and I said this at the time I think the criticism of the p Packers went too far mhm a lot of people were like you know they’re they’re they’re not going to make the playoffs they’re going to stink and for half the

Season it looked like they they were going to be right but the Packers saw an opportunity to take a quarterback that they liked in that draft C and they were criticized why wouldn’t you get another receiver for Aaron Rodgers why couldn’t you get somebody that helped him completely overlooking the fact that he

Had Devonte Adams he had one of the the best wide receivers in the league right he didn’t need another wide receiver he needed to get it done in the playoffs and everybody kept putting him in bubble wrap because he had the one Super Bowl and he had MVP seasons and it’s like

Couldn’t be his fault right he wasn’t good enough in those playoff games he was they were home playoff games home playoff there was always an excuse the one year they went to Atlanta and they lost and he was on the bench he’s like you we need to host one of these games

Cameras were on him right we need to host one of aon’s right they need to host one of these games Jordan love just won in Dallas right he might be able to beat a team on on Saturday or whatever they play that you couldn’t beat yeah it was it was

Rogers as much was the team but they’ve been Vindicated yeah I I agree the the Packers did a great job and we were talking about this yesterday if this is an organization if Jordan love goes on to I don’t know if he’s a Hall of Famer

But if he goes on to be the Hall of very very good the Packers have solidified that position for 30 years where you look at the Chicago Bears or the Cleveland Browns how many quarterbacks have they had in 30 years in 20 years it’s just the

Numbera the number just is is absurd so the Packers have done a really really good job at that and to answer your question has CJ um has has Bryce Bryce CJ St not CJ stad Jord Love Jordan love got Bryce young CJ St Jordan love has Jordan love solidified himself I would

Say yeah they were two and two and five at one point and then they go on and win seven out of their last 10 and make it into the playoffs and then go into Dallas and beat the Dallas Cowboys and not just beat them Anthony that was a I

Don’t care what the score say people can those are to me empty calories that the Dallas Cowboys scored late in that game they started taking their starters out the Packers did and Jones Aaron Jones had to get back into the game into the fourth quarter like Oh I thought I was

Done I was taking tape off now I got to play again that that they went and beat the hell out of the Dallas Cowboys in Dallas this young man has done an outstanding job and the thing that happens you talk about the first half of the Season just

Not being great the game literally slows down it sounds weird when you say that it’s like the game slows down like you start to see things either before they’re happening or as they’re happening where when you are a younger player figuring things out it just happened you don’t know what the hell

Happened I take it back to Sam darnold who was like I’m seeing ghosts out there and everybody made it oh he’s scared he ain’t scared he’s seeing things that ain’t there you all don’t understand what he said but that’s when you are a younger player and it’s happening too

Fast and so for Jordan love the game has clearly slowed down for him he had three years to wait uh behind a a future Hall of Famer and really get a grasp of the game and understand it and now you’re seeing the best the the best of it

Because this team and I I thought one thing that he said or that they said was really important all of their receivers are in their first or second year there is no pressure on him to get the ball to to a Devonte Adams 10 times a game to an

AJ Brown 12 targets a game I’m GNA throw this damn ball to whoever is open and so when you have that I think the same thing can be said for CJ stra in Texas in Houston it I throw it to who is open not I have a star receiver that is

Greedy for the ball as he should be but it makes the transition for a younger quarterback when you have younger receivers it makes their life so much easier to not have to throw the ball to one guy because he expects it every single play that this is what see you

You make a great point this is why we need to get away as football fans from the fantasy football mind of thinking where it’s like he needs a number one wide receiver no he doesn’t he needs an offense that can that he can operate in

He got to help you got to help the quarterback you want to help the quarterback find the right fit and get him a defense but we concentrate so much on that number needs a number one needs a number one yeah number one helps but what you’re just talking what you’re

Talking about Carrie is Jordan love and CJ strad allowing the system to work for them correct not trying to force feed the ball to one of these top receivers because you made the trade or you drafted them high or you’re paying him a lot of money and you just have to make

It work and and here’s the thing about that one of those guys eventually become a number one receiver like the cream Rises to the top they’ll eventually eventually separate themselves from the rest of the receivers on the roster and now he is a number one not just on the team but

Start working his way as to be a number one receiver in the league and that’s just from trusting them more trusting one another and just getting more opportunities but when you are young and don’t have to throw the ball to one guy every step I got to I know the coverage

Telling me to throw but if I don’t throw it to him he’s going be complain now I can just be the best version of myself and I think that’s what you’ve seen from these two young quarterbacks do the Packers have like a a weeny Hut Junior type offense like of the

49ers like the 49ers have ah I see what you’re saying like you a a a smaller version like a smaller version Weenie Hut just just aob reference okay yeah I’m like what you know what I’m saying Carrie like they have guys right but those guys are established players in

The league but they have that buyin where they know hey I might not get the ball every single time but man that guy if he gets the ball something’s going to happen do they have like a dumb down version of that well it’s it’s interesting so sh there’s only one

Shanahan right there’s only one guy I mean Shanahan is running a verion of Joe gibbs’s offense where it’s like it’s positionist and everybody kind of contributes and but lefur he does fall from that same tree right so to your Point Marsh or your question yeah I think there’s there is there

Schematically they’re similar to your point about are guys buying in and like hey this is my role I may catch nine passes I might catch zero but as long as we win we’re good yeah I think we’re seeing that and it probably goes goes it probably plays into what you’re seeing

CD in that they’re young so they’re not demanding the ball it can go around and for the 49ers they’re older and all paid all of them have received their contract Debo is good K KD is good CMC is good like auk is on the way he’s going to

Eventually need to receive some of that payday but they’re all solidified the only thing they don’t have is the championship like they want to win a championship as a as a group and to your point Marti I think watching both of those offenses there’s a lot of run run

Run play action pass get guys one place and dump it to the flat get a Crosser get somebody downfield get them on the run and so yeah there are a lot of similarities between these two teams it might be essentially a mirror of these offenses playing each other except for

The 49ers got better guys right now than what the uh than what the Packers have but do the Packers have a better quarterback I don’t know about that I think Brock I don’t think we still don’t think we give Brock Pie as due Brock Pie has been out exceptional this year I I

Think we in Marsh I’m not saying this that you’re doing the same thing but I think it’s easy to say well he’s a seventh round pick the last pick compared to Jordan love who at the very least was still a first round pick he’s more talented right I think that Brock pie fits

Perfect ly into that system and he executes perfectly does he need I know you’re big on and we I think we’re going to have that conversation a little bit later on I know you’re big on well look at all all what he has around him yeah absolutely he benefits from that but

He’s balling but Trey Trey Lance didn’t you know Trey Lance had said had opportunities similar guys didn’t make it work he didn’t did he really have a chance Brock P stepped in he he stepped in immediately but he got hurt he had the the the rain

The the game against the Bears that I wouldn’t expect anybody and then he got hurt the next week if I’m not mistaken as a rookie he played Arizona what did Brock pie do Brock pie played like 10 years in college and in Jordan love uh Tre Lance played

Barely 10 games in college this is true I’m I’m exaggerating but gu produced no you’re not that far off no I don’t think you are actually I heard was there for 10 years I think what I’m saying though though is that he didn’t even Trey Lance

Didn’t even get reps that many reps in college football what makes you expect that he’s going to have success in the NFL why did they that’s the better question they spent draft Capital to move up to get him yeah I don’t know if I don’t think Kyle Shanahan wanted him I

Agree with that too I agree with that you’re spitting a lot of truth right now what I’m saying is Brock py stepped in and immediately delivered as a rookie as a seven round rookie and Shanahan was talking a lot about him in preseason too if you go back you know they they they

Kind of take a they take it back and say you know well what was Shanahan saying and training K all that he kept talking about per yeah sometimes you know you know Walsh that was Walsh Walsh would know there’s a story that Michael Lombardi tells about Bill Walsh at the

Combine I forget what year it was but Bill Walsh was walking with Lombardi at the combine and out of the corner of his eye 20 yards away he looked over saw a quarterback and said get whoever the QB coach was get him to go look at

Him and it was just the quarterback had certain footwork or something Bill Walsh saw something and he goes go look at him it was rich Ganon and Ganon did not have a lot of success until he eventually came back around to Oakland with John Gruden John guden ran the West Coast

Offense and when he left Bill Kahan Callahan ran the West Coast off Bill Walsh ran the West Coast so there was something that bill saw in Rich Ganon that he knew played well in his system yep not necessarily the NFL but just his system sometimes I wonder if Shanahan

Did too sometimes being in the right system is really can can be a hindrance or it can Excel your career to being great if you’re in the wrong system it doesn’t matter how good there are some players that can get through it no matter what but if you’re in the wrong

System you won’t have as much success if you’re not in the right place unless you’re momes or Manning or Brady or whoever yeah the elites I think fit is everything if I was do you think Tom Brady is Tom Brady if he’s in a diff in a different organization if Patrick

Mahomes goes to Cleveland you wouldn’t know who Patrick Mahomes was right another name on that list you shut your mouth Mahomes is incredible he could play in Cleveland he could play in Kansas City he you play in Montreal nobody can play in Cleveland that’s true

And tell him Carrie sent you it’s time to find out what’s going on in the Sports World with what’s trending now brought to you by Goodwill donate a car and get tickets to the St Louis Cardinals Welcome back to the fast L here on 101 ESPN Anthony Stalter Carri Davis I’m Andrew Marsh and it is time for what’s trending guys I brought this up in the office I have to talk about it I don’t want to should we do it nobody’s safe here nobody nobody’s

Safe that’s it’s rule number one unfortunately um press conference Todd BS with the Buccaneers um a reporter asked him a question that left him stunned I guess I think everyone that is about to listen to this would probably feel the same way um but here is what the reporter asked and then we

Will uh throw it to Todd Bulls um the weather has been a factor in some of the playoff games even for the most prepared teams uh today it’s uh 13 in uh Detroit which doesn’t compare to some of the temperature to any special plans to acclimate the team to

Not only uh endure but perform in those kind of frigid temperatures should you face them in Detroit What did Todd B say everybody’s wondering everybody knows not everybody except for one person here’s what Todd BS had to say you do know we play indoors right they got a dome I don’t um no nothing planned we’re we’re indoors and we only have to be outside

For 20 seconds getting off the bus going under the thing so we’ll be okay ah if you can see us on the air Alliance uh cameras you see our faces because it is it does make you cringe it makes me feel bad for the reporter because clearly this is something that

She was unaware of because if you knew that you wouldn’t have asked that question and it was a it’s a really good question if they didn’t have a d if it were they were playing in like Philadelphia yeah Pittsburgh I mean there are a lot of cities thatas City

Buffalo there a bunch of teams that don’t Chicago any of the New York teams it made me feel kind of bad man yeah it’s it’s tough to to hear that because obviously that reporter didn’t know right yeah and I thought to to Tod B’s credit I thought he did a great job of

Not blasting her or or being disrespectful and just explaining you know well they play in a dome and so we don’t really have to worry about the elements yeah we’ll walk inside and get to work y and then moved on yeah next question that was that was tough so what

Happens sometimes is you get a team that like the Bucks that are playing well and they advance and you might have and I don’t know where this this reporter was from from Tampa maybe it was a TV station uhhuh maybe she’s not used to covering football and they needed somebody to go

Down and and ask the qu ask questions right right or or roll on should she know that the lions are playing in the dome absolutely before she asks a question does she should she know sure I highly doubt that this was a reporter for the bucks and I don’t mean for the

Bucks I just mean radio TV anything where she’d been following there’s no way yeah this is probably TV station that said our Sports guy is covering the something or other we need you to head down there and get to you know what are you what the sports reporter covering the Tampa Bay

Lightning right now what what’s what’s going know what are they what are they doing what was I don’t know I have no idea it’s just an unfortunate situation it is hopefully something was learned from it well that the Lions play endorse yes they do uh we have a city update hold on

I want you to when Todd B said so I yeah I want when he said that I want you to tell us what you thought about oh I immediately thought of the uh the dinner scene in Step Brothers when they asked about the uh the trophy fish and

Dale asked big fish is that a big fish they’re like yeah it’s a trophy fish so and then he loses his train of thought yeah damn it Dam I immediately thought of that scene H I do feel I feel bad oh man hey lesson learned lesson learned we’ve all

Been there yeah maybe not to that degree but like we’ve all we’ve all been we’ve all said stupid stuff hey no question uh so yeah we have some City News Nico gini unfortunately is uh moving on what KO FC a deal what do they have that we don’t well they have Nico gini

Now the deal is worth an initial 2 million but could reach 4 million pending add-ons source versus ad and uh this is from Tom bogert his tweet who uh gave credit to fabrio Romano what a name well guess what we don’t want him then if he doesn’t want to be here we don’t

Want him they they’re going to pay him a couple million dollars I don’t care what they’re going to pay him if you don’t want to be a St Louis city SC player then get out if you don’t want to put if you don’t want to want to want to wear

The boots for us get out in the kit mhm on the pitch I got no time for this yeah Anthony I think he was like traded probably cuz he demanded it oh come on ah he was a great player here he was he was excellent yeah but he’s he’s

Not here anymore so we have to move on too I don’t like your attitude on Ron to Cincinnati FC I I don’t like your uh your attitude by the way we mentioned yesterday that Jason Kelce was retiring he was on his podcast and didn’t necessarily say he was

Retiring just yet going the old Brett Favre route huh but well I don’t know about that but he said when he’s ready to make that announcement it will be made but he did talk to his teammates you know going around saying telling them you know you know enjoy the league you know

All that stuff fa not you know all that sappy whatever but technically he is not retired so it kind of reminds me of the Tom Brady situation I don’t well I can tell you after I watched the the I guess the the podcast a little bit of it the segment that they

Showed and where he was speaking to his brother saying you know I just they asked me to talk to the team I told him how important these moments are and I didn’t necessarily say that I was retiring when it when the time comes I’ll acknowledge the correct people and

I’ll go about it the right way and then he paused at the end of all of that which let me know that he’s retiring because kind cry he got emotional thinking about it you don’t get emotional when you know hey I got to get ready for training camp I got workouts

To do in a month or so no yeah he processed all of the things that he has to do and realized man I’m done mhm and I told you Anthony speaking of Tampa I sat in the bar when that moment hits you I saw a teammate I think I told you this

I had a teammate we were in the cold tub it’s it’s a big cold tub not a not a not a Twan but it was a big cold tub we were sitting in the cold tub and he looked me in my eyes and he said I can’t do this

Anymore he was he said I I got to get in the cold tub actually we were in the hot tub hot tub before practice he said I got to get in the hot tub before practice I got to get in the cold tub after practice my body just don’t don’t

Work how it used to and then he walked out of the hot tub and I’ve never seen him since and this was a starter like this was he in the league for like 12 years I have not seen him since that day the realization alive he’s alive but I just

Haven’t seen him physically he was no longer on the team after that day this is the off seon yeah he looked at me and he said Carrie I can’t I just can’t do this no more I saw the light go out and it was one of the most humbling things

I’ve ever witnessed in sports because at some point we all that light goes out and you no longer have it in you physically yeah people ask me you can do it probably yeah mentally hell no not running into nobody willingly right the hell you think this is don’t run into me

But I don’t want to run into nobody willingly the light went out of his eyes man and I’ve never seen him in person since Jason Kelsey is done the went out I watched it it’s it’s gone you landed that plane perfectly my God reminds me of the sand lot huh he got

Really into the 70s and no one ever saw him again it’s a fast land on 101 ESPN that’s super Ro champ kri Davis Andrew Marsh Anthony Stalter who’s po to have a breakout season for the Cardinals we’ll get into that next on 101 ESPN Three four your time check is brought to you by Clarkson Jewelers an officially licensed Rolex Jeweler with kri Davis and Andrew Marsh Anthony Stalter know Jamie Rivers today Jam’s got the day off tomorrow Blues capitals pregame starting right here on 101 ESPN at 5:00 who’s poised to have a breakout season this

Year for the Cardinals I actually don’t think there’s a ton of options for this question do you guys like when you think about it do you think there’s a there’s a there’s several breakout candidates for the Cardinals is Nolan Gorman considered would that be considered a breakout if

He hits well I would say noan Gman because 30 bombs is a breakout 35 which I think he can do I think he can have one of those types of Seasons I think Jordan Walker um is going to have a much better season I I think Jordan Walker is

A 22 to 28 home run guy and a 275 batting average I think he’s going to be on base a lot hopefully he steal some bases because I think that’s part of the game now that they they should do that I don’t know if the Cardinals believe the

Bases are bigger now so I thought that that’s what the game was going to go happen and but the Cardinals seemed to not you know believe in that philosophy but there you go get on base you can take a walk every now and then all right

Um but I think Nolan Gorman having a breakout year 30 35 home runs as long as his back is you know healthy and he’s not dealing with injury and Jordan Walker having one of those you know what I think project him to be for his entire

Career 22 28 home runs he may get to 31 year but I think he’s going to be in that spot driving the ball you know lots of doubles and just being a a young man that uses his athleticism to to the best of his Advantage would you consider Wilson

Conteras from a defensive standpoint to be breakout what if he just has a great defensive year I think it’s tough to to Define I mean the statistics are there can he be a breakout though because he’s already been in all he’s already I think the only candid champion

I even know I mean Gorman last year hit 27 home runs yeah 27 home runs last year may have been a breakout of sorts I don’t feel like it it feel like it’s still there’s still more yeah though that I agree with but but he’s proven

Like he can do it right so that’s kind of I’m thinking I think it’s really only Jordan Walker Mason win and that’s that’s it think Mason is there I I have to see what he looks like at the plate defensively I think is going to be outstanding let’s just talk

About candidates okay I think it’s those two what about large Newar what are your thoughts on Lars I think Lars is a really good player I think he’s a good allaround player steady okay I think that I don’t I don’t think he’s to his ceiling but I think

He’s got a high floor what about Dylan Carlson I know he’s projected as the fourth outfielder but I don’t know what his opportunities are going to be I think he well I hope he gets a real opportunity in spring training and you know I I’m probably one of the few

People I think Lars is very good but I I think if Dylan Carlson is better and I don’t know if you put him at Center or if you put put put him in left field and let you know Lars be the fourth Outfield or if you put him in center and let um

Tommy edman go back to second base like I I think the best thing that can happen for this Cardinal team is Dylan Carlson having a hell of a spring training and being one of those breakout candidates that we’re talking about what about Donovan got hurt last year I thought

That he was capable of more remember we did Jamie and I home runs got in the argument about the home runs and I said this he’s going to hit 15 plus Jamie called me crazy Jamie was right only because Donovan got hurt I think he had

Like 12 or 13 home runs I think Donovan could have a breakout season if he stays healthy what does a breakout season look like for him 15 to 20 home runs somebody that plays all over the place uh you know statistically is you know somebody you talk about stolen bases I think he’s

Capable do you think he’s capable of of having a 2020 season 20 home runs 20 20 stolen bases that feels like a lot I think maybe he could have 20 stolen bases but I don’t know 16 home runs yeah I I think 15 is a good number he only

Had five stolen bases last season up from two so it’s not like so the answer no they don’t steal they need to though and we talked about that when Dan was in here one of the reasons why they probably didn’t steal enough bags was because they were down in games and you

Really can’t afford to be risking sending Runners into scoring position if you’re down because I mean if if you can only get like three guys on during the game like probably at least and you have big bats coming up you want them to drive those runners in you can’t really

I mean you could you could risk trying to steal a bag and get in scoring position part of your identity you could but I think oh for sure but I don’t think think it was last year I think that’s their problem though Station to Station is not good for this team in my

Opinion like you have to have you got athleticism you got guys that can run you should you should use that you should you shouldn’t be Base to Base and and and trying to manufacture runs in that way use your athleticism go go get second base go still we we’ve seen you

When that happens it puts pressure on the defense it puts pressure on the pitching on the pitcher and it makes it changes the game for you but this notion that you get 27 outs in a game and you can’t waste them on the base pass how in

The hell are you supposed to score if you can only go Station to Station mhm yeah I would love to see hitting runs just something to get those those Runners active on the base paths and oh you guys are talking my baseball well like playing the game that game one of

The big questions that a lot of our texter have is has this team lost their fundamentals and base running is part of the fundamentals yeah and I I don’t know like they they need to get back to to where they were at least under Tony

Larusa sure I I fall shill I fall into this trap a lot I’m about to fall into it again I I think that we use identity as almost like a like a like a cliche now but I do think that it applies to the Cardinals I think they’ve lost their

Way I don’t think that they know who they are if you know who you are as a team you can you can fit into it like that is what we do if you want to be a Power Team then you can’t be running into outs if you want to be a team that

Is fundamentally sound and you’re putting pressure on the opponent then be that team but they’re caught in between constantly and I’ve made this point before about the roster as a whole Marsh but when it comes to the identity of their team wait what did you call me don’t worry about

It they’re some guys run some guys hit for average some guys have power then sometimes those guys are on the bench and sometimes they’re not consisten you don’t know what you are yeah if you want to be a team that puts pressure on your I’m all for it man hit and run sacrifice

Lay down a bond the fundamentals quote unquote doesn’t even have to be fundamentals it could just be that’s your identity some baseball it’s playing the game the right way it’s not trying to hit a ball out of the park every time because you have to have the correct

Launch angle and you need to hit the ball over the fence hit it to the right side are though then do that but who on this team is that that’s exactly that’s my because who on this team is that now if I go to New York got a couple guys

That are that right Yankees be be that they are that’s who they are be a Power Team cool yes gu’s like 610 mhm he’s bad and he’s swinging everything defensive end but we don’t have that no so I would love this team to be a team that leads

The league in doubles right you’re Trading Places with guys putting pressure on the pitcher and the defense and at some point that guy will throw a pitch right down the middle and you will hit a home run like you’ll run into one you don’t need to go up there every

Single time looking to hit a home run yeah they they’ll come they’ll come with just fundamentals and waiting for your pitch and just having the right strategy at the plate sure and I feel like like you said this team it feels like they don’t have that right now I don’t like I

Would you mentioned Dylan Carlson he’s at his best when he’s getting extra base hits when he’s getting doubles remember like a few years ago he had a ton of doubles and that’s when he’s at his best I want to see this team do something similar to that and I think again it

Plays into the identity you know why this is my this is just my opinion I could be wrong on this but you know why everybody loved the white teams it’s like oh well fundamentals they run and all the they knew what they had they knew who they were they knew how they

Were going to win games I’ve I’ve I’ve been on this kick recently of know how you win games know how you lose games be have an identity have an identity I think the I think the blues have a little bit of that right now where it’s

Like how how are you winning how are you losing well some nights it’s this and some that is how you wind up being an average team right the Cardinals right now going into next year we don’t really know how they’re going to win games how they’re going to lose games we knew a

Year ago that the pitching was just too bad okay well we’re going to improve our pitching well you improved your pitching but are you a pitching team no are you a power team no are you a team that can put like the Cleveland guard Ian that roster top to bottom is not more

Talented than the St Louis Cardinals roster top to bottom it isn’t but they knew who they were yeah we don’t have any power so we’re going to put the play put put the ball in play a lot we’re not going to strike out a lot we’re going to

Take our walks we’re going to put pressure on you by being on base and we’re going to pitch well and we’re going to win the division and a first- round playoff game or first round playoff series it’s going to be interesting to see how this team goes about their day-to-day business next

Year this this this year coming up again not necessarily A Power Team not a team that’s going to drive the ball over the fence but if you can be a team that gets to second base often hits in gaps and are able to use your athleticism on the

Base paths use your athleticism in the field have an upgraded pitching staff from what they had last year you got a chance to be a really good team sure now that’s on the players to be able to do that night in and night out yes we’ll see if they can do that

It’s a fast L on 101 ESPN Carri Davis Andrew Marsh Anthony Stalter speaking of the blues will the rest of January decide the blues fate as we head into the All-Star break that’s next I want to1 YB on hey it’s and let me tell you about my

Build.com that’s stld designand build.com and tell them Cary send you We asked earlier in the show today did the Blues prove anything to you over the previous stretch of games and whether or not you think that this team is a playoff team Carrie said absolutely not get the blank out of here I thought that was a little much and a little crash and

I said I think this is still a team that can earn the second wild card spot notice I didn’t say get in the top three of the central I didn’t say they can make a run I didn’t even give them the the top wild card spot I gave him the

Second Wild art spot car unwilling to do so what do you say we heard from Courtney here’s Courtney hey good afternoon fellas um Anthony I disagree and the words Jim MOA playoffs playoffs how about winning more than three games in a row because that’s what it’s going to take for you to make

The playoffs these Western Conference teams are winning six seven eight games in a row you have having trouble winning more than three this past 10 games you 54 and one that says at all you are a 500 team and what’s even more upsetting about that is as a fan is that you’re

Bad enough to not make the playoffs but good enough to not be a top 10 team in the draft to pick so it’s like what how you’re setting yourself up to make this retool rebuild re whatever go on longer than it has to I if you still thinking playoffs with this team either

You’re highly optimistic or I’m sorry don’t mean to talk about no one but you’re delusional oh come on come on Courtney um well he’s not wrong he’s not wrong he also brings up a fantastic point about this team being stuck in the middle yeah you don’t want

To be there as a sports organ as any team in any League car it’s a worst spot to be in either be really good or be really bad get a high draft pick or be in the playoffs and have a chance to actually win a championship cuz then

You’re going so you’re on a you’re on one way or the other yeah and if you’re if you’re a high draft pick team you’re you’re building and hoping that you can become you know one of those playoff teams and if you’re a playoff team obviously you got a chance to win but if

You’re right in the middle which is essentially where they are and have been all season long right now Mary said that they’re fourth out of the second wild card spot Five Points and and so if you’re not able to run a a a string of four five six games and winning six of

Seven or something like that it’s going to be hard to get into that top two in the in the wild card and we we haven’t even talked about the division because that’s probably Out Of Reach right so yeah it’s it’s going to be a tough task

For them unless they are able to do that we got a text from Andrew earlier in the show who said I think they are more likely to steal a series with Jordan Bennington if they get in then the likelihood they actually get in all right I could see that so he

What he’s saying is he didn’t he doesn’t believe that they’ll get in but if they do there’s there’s a higher likelihood of them stealing a series hard to win four games especially when you’re not the better team mhm which the blues would not be and I I just think it’s it’s

Hockey to me is one of the toughest championships to win because of the grind of how many games you have to play how many wins you have to have basketball you got to win four games in a series but they’re not running into each other every other night they

Setting screens and then they going to make a layup football you play one game a week and then you go the hell on either you win or you go into or you go home in hockey you got to win four of them and you’re banging against another player for for potentially seven games

That to me is so much harder baseball you got to win four or three whatever the case may be but you’re not running into people like it’s just for me it’s so different and if you are not as good as the team you’re playing in hockey I don’t think I think hockey probably

Gives you the truest champion because that team has battled all of the storms and F man and fought through it and made it to a championship and won it yeah in other sports it’s not not the same yeah you’re right you are cuz in baseball even though they have a series it’s

Still it’s still a shortened series you play 162 games and then you get to this series and it could be a five game series you know seven is much later so five game series is you just played 162 five game series you get a you get two pitchers you’re good right you’re right

I mean hockey you have you have to be battle tested each and every series and you have you have got to be four games better than than your opponent it’s not just about being a hot team you have to be a good team too and and that’s just being skilled right like

I don’t think the Blues in terms of skill match up to some of the upper echelon teams in the league AG then you have the physical element that ramps up in the playoffs and I don’t think this team has that either MH they don’t know how to they they

Don’t know going back to our previous conversation you know Courtney brought up this team this team has to get get on a winning streak first and Carrie you and I talked about that we’ll know if whether they have a six game winning streak or a six game losing streak we’ll

Know then whether or not they’re they’re a Wilds card Contender but how do you win those six games how do you lose the six games right now they’re winning games in in a variety of ways and normally that’s a good thing but in this case it’s it’s

Actually not we don’t know how they’re winning games who are they we just talked about it we just talked about it with the Cardinal who who is this Blues team mhm what is your identity I would rather see them win every game 2 to1 or

Every game 6 to4 cuz then I know you’re not a great team defensively but man you can score yeah or H you’re a little lackluster offensively but damn you can keep that puck out of than that but they they don’t some sometimes it’s two to

One sometimes a 65 yeah I mean I was going to say same thing with losing like you lose a 4-3 overtime game against Boston the Boston Bruins who are one of the best teams in the league but then you also lose 5 to one to Florida who’s

Playing great hockey and who are one of the best teams in the league like what what what what are we doing here who are you who are you where are we where are we but as it comes down to you know as as the the month starts

To shut down and we head into February we have the allstar break like what do you think Doug Armstrong’s thinking like where’s his mind at in terms of where this team’s at because at the end of February we have the trade deadline and that’s usually when we know if Doug Armstrong has any

Confidence in this team unfortunately for him and he did it so it’s you know it’s his it’s his burden I don’t there are so many variables that have to factor into the trade deadline that that go beyond whether or not the team is heading in the right direction or not that he’s

Going to have to deal with we’re talking about no trade Clauses that’s on everybody that he would even think about moving correct last year was easy last year was easy you had expire contracts you knew that a couple of those gu all right we’re not going to resign them

They’re not going to be here there’s seemed to be friction between young and old and whose team it was so okay we’re going to go with the guys that we signed to long-term deals and we’re going to move on from these guys that have been

You know here for for a number of years yeah I think this trade deadline would be like as you said how who how how how do you make that happen if the player has the right to say no I don’t want to do that we saw that this summer y nah I

Don’t want to go anywhere I’m good here yep so how do you manage that when you have given players no trade Clauses and you need to make the team better and you want to be sellers or buyers at the deadline what do you do yeah I don’t know I don’t the roster

The roster is set up the way it is to it’s it’s impossible to answer that question yeah you’re gonna have to go to guys and say I want to trade you nope no I like it here it’s a March yeah semester’s almost over for my kids I was

Just kidding we want you to be here like that’s that’s the issue right now you ran into that with Tory Krug in the offense yes and how do you help your retool if you’re just a middling team right you’re not getting good draft picks I mean you could but you know if

You’re a middling team you’re not picking in the top 10 you didn’t make the playoffs that’s why they get to win man that’s why they have to be a wild card team they have to that’s why they got to start winning quickly we’re going to play prove me wrong next so if you

Fantastic job with his rulings very consist have anyone other than him absolutely well said uh judge take it away take that right under the right under the table um from the 636 prove me wrong the Chiefs Bills game will come down to who has the ball

Last well we talked about this right we we we’ve seen who this bill’s team is and we know who Patrick Mahomes is he’s just the greatest quarterback to ever lace him up you know in some people’s opinion and going into Buffalo used to be a daunting task right used to be a

Scary thing that you had to worry about bills Mafia what we saw last year the Cincinnati Bengals went in there and really roughed up those Buffalo Bills Josh Allen as I’ve told you all has only gone one time I believe in his entire career since 2019 has had backto back

Games without a turnover you know what he didn’t do last game Anthony he didn’t turn the ball over so you know what he’s going to do this weekend he’s going to turn the ball over because that’s what history has shown us throughout his entire career he cannot sustain success

Without turning the football over that’s what he does Chiefs win by 13 ooh this is a tough one but I like it oh wow I like it a lot of these matchups between these two teams have been one score games however the last time the chiefs were in Buffalo

Was in 2020 Chiefs won 26-17 that does not sound like a onore game to me gentlemen me either no so Carrie you’re one and0 nice job Carrie thank you appreciate it from Swan welcome back Swan haven’t heard from him in a while prove me wrong some

NFL team will trade up in the draft and take JJ McCarthy and and regret it down the line we tend to think that these NFL teams don’t know what they’re doing some don’t M but with the amount of quarterbacks that will be available in the top of the draft we’re talking

About Caleb Williams and Drake May and Michael Pennock there’s not going to be a team that throws on the Michigan film and says to themselves we need this JJ McCarthy to run a college offense at the pro level right as as much as these teams get it wrong with the quarterback

Spot JJ McCarthy in this year’s draft will not look like a gem there’s no way that a team will go all the way up trade for for JJ McCarthy or the option to pick JJ McCarthy with so many great options available and this forget the quarterbacks too Marvin

Harrison Jr there’s going to be some stop pass rushers that come out are dumb but not this dumb I rest my case oh man this is a real tough spot to be in because Anthony I like what you just brought to the table however there are some dumb teams in the

NFL the Carolina Panthers exist the Ravens got Lamar Jackson late in the first round no one picked him they knew JJ McCarthy best quarterback in Michigan I don’t know but Anthony you had a sound reason behind your uh prove me wrong statement you did a good job I’m going to give it

To you thank you from the 314 tough cases so far prove me wrong with Bama losing Sabin and recruits leaving Alabama mou’s schedule is set up to go undefeated and win the SEC in 2024 think this is perfect for You well judge maou is going to mazou right I mean we’ve seen it Time After Time their schedule may be set up to go undefeated but there’s also some teams in the SEC that uh still played there right is uh Georgia still in the SEC yes

Sir is LSU still in the SEC yes sir is Vanderbilt still in the SEC I’m just saying these things anything is possible so I I mean going undefeated and college football is a tough task and when you’re in a conference as as heavy as the SEC it’s damn near impossible tell them we

We I mean did any team go undefeated last year in the SEC no I didn’t think so because why because it’s damn near impossible so I would have to assume that maou would not be able to make the possible happen it’s going to be impossible for them to go undefeated

Doesn’t mean they’re not going to have a great year but going undefeated is a tall task and I do not see Miss tigers making it happen this year nice thank you prove me wrong the biggest problem with the blues offense is they don’t shoot the puck enough the thing about shooting the puck

Is you need time and space when you don’t have time in space it’s difficult to shoot the puck this is true it makes zero sense for any player wear whether he’s wearing a blue sweat or not Carrie to shoot the puck through 19 opponents in front of them y you have to create

Those opportunities so I appreciate the blues faithful screaming at the top of their lungs at Enterprise Center to shoot players on the ice know that they need to set themselves up properly in order to take quality shots not just quantity shots quantity of shots I it we

They they need to shoot the p uh from the 314 prove me wrong the Packers have the best chance of an upset this weekend well I mean when you’re looking at this schedule of games and and trying to really get the lay of the land you know the Packers going to San Francisco

That’s a tall tall task uh for any team to to try to take on um and and so I’m looking at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers they’re going to Detroit Detroit is a team that I think should win right but we heard we heard Tai BS he knows where

They’re playing he knows that they’re playing indoors and not Outdoors he he do dial in he does not have this team practicing outside for no reason not they’re dialed in down in Tampa preparing for an indoor game in Detroit Detroit is a team that is really they

That first win in 30 plus years in the playoffs what are the odd that they make it to I don’t know maybe not high Todd BS prepared knowing where the game is got those Buccaneers dialed in and that would be my biggest upset on the weekend you don’t believe that

Um been talking about the Lions all take it take set CJ Str you could have said Lamar Jackson the playoffs I believe that would either so Carrie you’re you’re obviously getting would be the upset you’re obviously getting the buzzer on this favorites aren’t KC oh shoot I thought

They were a favorite I sent you guys this last night interesting nugget here for anyone saying that the 49ers are making or winning the Super Bowl let let me remind you this is from I miss winning on Twitter that no team that has lost to Kirk Cousins has played in the

Super Bowl the same year let me remind you the Minnesota Vikings defeated the 49ers earlier this year on Monday Night Football 22- 17 you’re welcome Green Bay was that was that a cousins game yep you think that their backups beat the 49ers they couldn’t even beat the Bears

I wouldn’t think so Mar they couldn’t beat the Broncos I thought he was done by that point but I could be wrong no he actually got injured against the Packers it’s funny how that works out from the 314 prove me wrong the orgon ducks have the best uniform selection out of any

College or NFL football team I love them Unis I do too I didn’t have anything love combinations I had nothing silver helmets I love the black helmets I love the silver black combo so many options I love the neon green what do you do yeah the yellow the black and

Yellow the best the old no no no I love them all they are have so many the old school ones with the lighter green with the yellow those are sick got like 100 options I know Marsh got like 100 options this not a Anville team that can

Compete with that oh I mean come on they’re jerseys now their uniforms are cool right your honor I’d like to settle their helmets are awful now you have the wings yeah I like it you talking about the decal or the actual color of the helmets cuz that shiny I’m

Not talking about the helmet I’m talking about the decal the decal it’s like the wings but they have that giant o on the back of their helmet it looks so dumb what about what about just going with the o yeah I’d like that yeah I’d like

That or or keep the wings like I like the wings but they have the Giant O on the back of the helmet it looks so stupid you like 10 different helmets but that silver that’s the matte like the black Matt beautiful man who does have the best uniforms we we’ll stick with

College football best uniforms the best I’m a classic like I like USC I like teams that don’t have to put their names on the back of their jerseys I I I just there’s something about it I went to a Notre Notre Dame game a few years ago those

Helmets it’s something special like at Classic uniforms there pen State nothing nothing fancy cuz you know what we’re going to do we’re going to line up and we’re going to play football give a damn what we got on yeah but it just looks it looks good my

Favorite home Texas oh yeah the burnt orange the White and the burnt orange like the white jersey better do you I like their jersies though I like the I like the I like the logo I think the logo is awesome the white with the burnt orange and the white pants yeah Michigan

When they wore the the classic Michigan uniform with you know the the Maze and blue they had the the maze pants oh yeah yeah yeah in the national championship they wore all blue yeah that looked sharp though I thought I I like the original look better I’m fine with that

Yeah I like the original look better and then like Notre Dame they have great jerseys Michigan’s got that perfect navy blue yeah like that dark blue I know you can’t say although you just gave credit P State yeah well you know what car’s just he’s upset because

He could have been wearing it possibly that’s up to that was up to you a bad mistake maybe not it worked out well for me look ghosted michig you ghosted Michigan Carrie come on it’s kind of a power move though if you think about it look at me yeah yeah a little

Bit uh Prime video it’s Prime video about to change the way we watch sports around here or in general that’s next I one when he be Well we found out news today or maybe it was last night that Amazon is set to invest in Diamond Sports as a part of the bankruptcy deal Amazon will partner with Diamond Sports according to ESPN and I know other locally Derek G of the post dispatch have also covered this but

They were structuring an agreement as the largest owner of regional Sports and networks looks to emerge from bankruptcy Diamond owns 18 networks under the balet sports Banner those networks have the right to 37 professional teams 11 including our Cardinals 11 MLB 15 NBA and 11 including our Blues NHL teams

Diamond Sports has been in chapter 11 bankrupcy proceedings in the southern district of Texas since filed for protection last March the company said in late 2021 Financial filing that it had debt of 8.67 billion long story short looks like Amazon is going to is going to throw a lot of money at Diamond

Sports to get them out of bankruptcy and then in turn over time it won’t happen necessarily right away for some teams including the Cardinals but over time the games will likely be on Prime video Carrie I’m fine gameer I’m fine with it in fact it would would

Be all we want as sports fans is where’s my game going to be correct correct that’s it the reason why I say it’s a game changer because it has a ripple effect on spectrum because I I have spectrum because I can watch B but if it’s on Amazon Prime I don’t I don’t

Need you I don’t need you so I mean you just have to think about the ripple effect of how it plays on I mean they don’t but you would think about it how it impacts a local cable company that most people are cutting cords anyways

And going to apps to watch all of their events and their sporting events and and their TV shows it’s it’s easier in some regard I think some people think it’s cheaper when you got 15 apps it’s about the same amount of money so you know there’s that a great logical point that

Is funny I’m going to I cut the cord cut the cord really what’ you add Netflix uh Prime video Hulu peacock of course I got to have my peacock there so many apps so you end up I I think paying about the same amount as you would just to different companies

As opposed to just one so I think it’s going to be interesting to see how it changes you know Sports here in St Louis and and how it’s viewed obviously it’s going to be a little bit different if I know I can watch the game in a certain

Spot if I know I can watch the Cardinals at a certain spot and not have to worry about having Direct TV or Spectrum yeah great sign me up don’t black me out please and I’m there yeah with with the Amazon because we were talk I think you

And I talked about it with the football it felt weird when they first started doing football those Thursday night games were the game on the field was terrible but the the production like you couldn’t hear the crowd noise it just felt like it was a different you were watching a different product so

Hopefully they’ve ironed out some of those issues when they decide you know to to have baseball basketball and hockey on their on their platform yeah that’s a great point and I guess they they deserve an opportunity to get it right mhm you don’t have to the other

Thing you don’t have to reinvent the wheel I feel like YouTube started doing this when they had their their baseball broadcast it’s like we’re going to we’re going to have different uh athletes or former athletes come in and they’re going to be with us and you can comment

And you got the floating emojis like just give me the damn game like we as sports fans are pretty simple I want to I want to watch and root for my team I know so I know a lot of people love the Manning cast if you’re watching a terrible game it’s

Really It’s really informative I they do I think they do a phenomenal job I love the insights and stuff but I love it afterwards I love going back and seeing what those guys said during the game I just want to consume the game yeah I think too many times it becomes about

Entertainment as well as the G or we we have to entertain everybody yeah that’s where I think you start to lose some of the sports fans the the the the true the guys that are just the guys and gals that are just there to watch the actual event and hear the commentators speak

About what took place in that specific play and why that worked or why that didn’t work I agree when you have too many other things going on that’s why I said watching the Manning cast on a Jets Browns game in any year other than this year when the Browns were pretty good

Yeah turn it on because you get information right it’s not a great game to begin with usually when teams like that are playing and you get to learn some and you get to have some some fun and some interaction with that now if you one of those it’s on a different

Platform it’s on yes it’s just a different you can go you want it no problem here it is turn to it and that to me that makes it intriguing it makes it fun to watch now the Cardinals will not be on and even if this goes through they’re they’re still locked into balet

Sports next year okay so you will not get Cardinals you won’t have the option to have the Cardinals on Amazon or Amazon Prime next year I think this wouldn’t go into effect for the Cardinals until 2025 okay if I’m reading through this correctly again drik G’s got incredible information on it but it

Doesn’t seem like that but I’m I’m I’m good with that I think it will change do teams get to keep their local broadcasters because if you change that that would be yeah that I don’t know you would have a disconnect with that local market if you don’t have the same people

Yeah that they’re accustomed to I would imagine you would I imagine if you’re Amazon Prime you’re buying the whole product and you’re buying but but that that would have to be negotiated under under Amazon the the other thing to kind of keep in mind though too carry is that if

If you’re the Cardinals you could go the route of like the Yankees who have the Yes Network you could go the route of other teams that have their own network I think uh yeah the Red Sox have I think the Red Sox have nest and they have

Their own you could do that but now it’s all up to the Cardinals to have to pay Longhorn Network with the Texas absolutely you could go that route and then rake in all the profits but now you’re worrying about paying not only the onair talent with the camera guys

Paying those guys to go on the road set all that’s that’s finding advertising all those exactly that is a huge investment and it doesn’t seem like the DTs are are wanting or willing to do that being on Amazon great they are one of the the organizations that could do

It I mean because of who they are abolutely but but more I mean the Cardinal more than Cleveland Guardians right because of what are you saying just saying there’s a difference yeah you’re right yeah Tampa is not going to have the ra Network nobody nobody’s watching nobody’s even at that game

We’re good yeah we don’t care we don’t show up we got better things to do in St Pete let us know when you get judged it’s fast1 ESPN The Gauntlet is next three Warriors four categories one Challenger can you master The Gauntlet brought to you by Master your hometown

1995 when they beat which team in the Super Bowl uh the 95 Super Bowl would have probably been against your Pittsburgh Steelers Carrie that would have been the Neil o’ Donald Super Bowl because they face the bills a couple of times then the 49ers played the Chargers

In ’94 and then I think 95 would have been the Cowboys and the Steelers so Steelers final answer question number two before he was the head coach for the 49ers for Four Seasons Jim harball was the head coach at which university for Four Seasons Stanford final answer before har Harbaugh took over in

San Francisco who was the 49ers head coach for three seasons 49ers head coach before Harbaugh the first name that comes to mind is Mike Nolan I’m trying to think if there was anybody that lasted that long it’s like Jim Tom Sula I think was after Harbaugh I don’t think single ter lasted three

Seasons I’m going to go with Mike Nolan final answer question number four name this team that has retired number numbers for Jim Norton Mike Munk and Bruce Matthews Houston Oilers final answer or the Tennessee Titans it’s the Titans Oilers franchise all righty well let’s start there name the team that has retired

Numbers for Jim Norton Mike Munch and Bruce Matthews Anthony you said Houston Oilers Tennessee Titans Chad said Houston Oilers ten Tennessee Titans nice the answer is it is the Tennessee Titans or Houston Oilers neither of you needed the options it too next question before he was the head coach

For the San Francisco 49ers for Four Seasons Jim Harbaugh was the head coach at which university for Four Seasons Chad said Stanford and you said Stanford the answer is it is Stanford neither of you needed the options again way to go Chad four to four tie let’s go

Here before Harbaugh took over in San Francisco who was the 49ers head coach for three seasons Chad said Mike noan oh wow Anthony also said Mike Nolan but Chad didn’t use any options I didn’t either oh no you didn’t use any options Chad did use an option excuse me

The answer is Mike Nolan you both get points the answer is it is Mike single no we got a four four tie no final question the last time the Cowboys didn’t choke when they beat which team in the Super Bowl Anthony you said the Pittsburgh Steelers Chad said the Buffalo Bills

Chad you have chosen poorly you lose not the answer is the Pittsburgh Steelers Anthony you 6 to4 good job sir Chad nice job man that that want to be in a great great battle you did a fantastic job thank wish I could have said the same for

Myself no you did too man you did too nice job nice job Chad good stuff that’s a tough one there with those the Cowboys especially if you’re not like like the 90s I remember a lot of those games and watching those games so you’re probably

A little bit younger than I am so maybe you didn’t remember all those games think so okay listen Chad I gave you an out I gave you an out I don’t know what to say now but great job thanks for listening too thank you for the opportunity thanks

J we’ll see you have a good you too man you too I did I was I was you were trying to be nice and you know what Chad is a standup guy too he’s like no no I just blew it y didn’t get it I just blew

It good job thank you so I’m trying to think now did the Cowboys beat the bills three times and the Steelers once is that how they beat the cowboy they beat the bills twice they beat the bills twice 92 93 then they won the 49ers played the Chargers and then they won

And then they beat the uh Steelers in 95 man so only three they got three ah I always think four because of the bills the Bills beat the Bills lost to the Giants and the red and then lost to the Cowboys twice and then for some reason I

Thought the Cowboys rattled off four but you’re right they didn’t three three in four years mhm well you know what if they make a run they don’t have to worry about those teams this year very true very true they didn’t though they lost they’re and they couldn’t buy a win no

All right it’s fast L 101 usbn 412 I already gave you CH time check but 412 it’s 412 for those wondering NFC remain in quarterbacks kind of an interesting question that Marsh posed to us so out of the uh remaining quarterbacks right now in the NFC what does that tell us

About the conference overall we’ll get to that next on 101 ESPN fellas it’s Carrie and if you have not heard about mint mint STL let me tell you about him if you’re a man that is waking up in the middle of the night to frequently urinate maybe you’re not able

To go as often as you would like you may be struggling a little bit in that area you need to contact the Midwest Institute for nons surgical therapy you could be suffering from BPH also known as an enlarged prostate we understand getting up and not being able to go can

Be frustrating but Dr ien W day at mint sto has the solution and that solution is a groundbreaking minimum invasive procedure that treats BPH listen after this procedure the prostate begins to shrink within a six-month period you can reduce the size by 40% and it’s covered

By most insurances if you have a feeling of wanting to go but can’t go this procedure will help you get going it has a lower risk of complications no hospital stays no sutures no scarring and relief from all of the uncomfortable symptoms that I mentioned above so reach

Out to them today to schedule your appointment that’s M NT STL M NT stl.com and tell them carry Cent you [Applause] What does the remaining quarterbacks in the NFC tell us about the conference with Carri Davis and Andrew marsham Anthony stelter so here are the remaining quarterbacks in the NFC Jordan la Brock pie baker Mayfields and Jared G who had that as the final four quarterbacks in the nobody uh

Nobody Does this tell us more about the team and less about the quarterback does it tell us anything about the the direction of the league with the quarterbacks or the conference I should say because the AFC is stacked they are Mahomes and Lamar and Josh Allen there’s

A lot of names we already figured would be in we didn’t think CJ stad but you’re always going to get a new guy too especially when Joe burrow gets hurt especially when was there another quarterback that got hurt in the AFC this year deshun Watson deshun Watson

But and then you don’t have Trevor Lawrence in the playoffs this year who was that guy Justin Herbert not in the playoffs this year got hurt well he’s not on that list but I’m sorry you really do I had to so what does it say about the NFC well I think

The NFC we talked about it you no one on this NFC side we thought we we knew that the AF AFC side was stacked right when we looked at the NFC side I don’t know if there is a Hall of Fame quarterback maybe Matthew Stafford MH on the entire

NFC side I mean you go Dak no probably not yeah you know Jaylen Herz maybe not depending on how his career goes from from this point on NFC North Kurt Cousins would be the only one probably not I mean so I don’t think it’s that

Big of a a big of a surprise watching what the NFC side has done it’s just we knew that the AFC side had had more of the athletes and more of the not athletes but more of the quarterbacks under Center and we knew that that side

Was just stacked and we talked about it during the grid iron guys the NFC side is not not that it’s a cakewalk to get to the to the championship game but it has to be a much easier route than having to face Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen or Tu a tongue of alowa

Um the quarterback for the Bengals Jo bur Joe burrow when he’s healthy he didn’t play long enough forgot his name boy you move on quickly quickly Anthony quickly what have you done for me lately Jake Browning guy now but there were so many names on that AFC

Side and we talked about how hard it is to make it to the Super Bowl on that side on the NFC side we kind of expected this to be what it was we knew that the San Francisco 49ers would be would be one of the top teams but not because of

Brock P alone but because of the team and when you looked at Dallas you thought that maybe Dak could rise to that level but he’s not there yet so you don’t put him in that conversation so is not that big of a surprise for me to see

What this NFC side looks like from the quarterback position I just started laughing when I when I looked at this so consider this in the AFC burrow stad momes Lamar La Trevor Lawrence Allen these guys popped within either the first or second year and I mean

Popped CJ strad is a absolute stud as a rookie Joe burrow got hurt his rookie year and then correct me if I’m wrong he led the Bengals to the Super Bowl his second year his second year is his second or third that was his second year

Second year yeah heading back in the AFC title game in his third year this is his fourth fourth year so Joe burrow in his second year at the Bengals in the Super Bowl momes did not play much until the final game with the Chiefs then his second year stud yep

Lamar first six games in was all Joe Flaco then when they they made the decision to go to Lamar he saved their season took him to the playoffs as a rookie Trevor Lawrence his rookie year shouldn’t count because that was with Urban Meyer yeah we don’t count that one

His real first year was his second year yeah and he got the Jaguars to the playoffs won the division Josh Allen rough first year but then you know it didn’t take long for Allen to become a franchise quarterback you go to the end Herbert Justin Herbert thank you yeah

Justin Herbert another guy and Aaron Rogers even though he’s hurt but going into the season we talked about really how stacked the AFC side was but I’m just talking about right now yeah the young guys yes now let’s do this with the NFC shall we okay Bryce

Young I mean as maybe his second year will pop you’re not taking him above any of those AFC guys no Dak Prescott pretty good really good Rook are you taking him above any of those AFC guys okay me neither Jaylen Herz okay so Jaylen Herz popped in his second year yeah but this

Year was he’s still had a good but he’s really it though he is the only one everybody else Jared gof Matthew Stafford yeah great but older yeah the young let’s just talk about real young guys no there Desmond Ritter sorry why would you do that to me

I apologize why would you why would you do that sorry Jordan love had wait three or four years to even get his shot but he’s to me considered a young guy Justin Fields we’re still having I don’t care I don’t care I like Justin Fields okay so I

Don’t care what side of the fence you’re on with Justin Fields he’s not CJ Stout Joe burrow mes Lamar they were in their second year and this is what his third year now uh yes just finish his third year the young guys that the NFC has drafted Kyler Murray popped initially

But now there’s so many question marks the young guys in the NFC have not popped like the guys in the AFC that’s what really this is all about correct the NFC has had their opportunities and they’ve like passed on those guys or they’ve taken the wrong guy CJ St CJ

Stout over you know yeah so that that goes to show you I think what’s going on in the NFC it’s mostly it’s about the team the Lions are a really good team and Jared G fits perfectly with Ben Johnson the 49ers are a great team and Brock py f perfectly in Kyle Shanahan’s

Offense Baker Mayfields came out of nowhere but the Box roster if you even coming into the year you would say that the Bucks roster was better than every team in the NFC South oh yeah you just didn’t know what bit what you H you were held back because of the quarterback

People fell in love with car because the options weren’t great yeah people is me other other people did too but you look at the NFC the final four teams I think I think CD it’s it’s it’s about the the team and where the team is right now

Yeah I agree the the teams are really playing well I mean I’m looking at the Detroit Lions they’ve played well I I love what Dan Campbell has done not just for that team but for that entire city I think he is he is what Detroit is if you

Ask me like that that’s a Detroit guy Blue Collar work his butt off and just grind it out and his team fits that mode San Francisco they’ve played outstanding this year now I I think they’ve done a great job Green Bay is I don’t know how

We got here but we’re here right they are they are the one of the surprises of this season based on how badly they beat up the Cowboys last weekend and then Tampa Bay you just hit on them how are they here as well because shaky bakey was nicknamed shaky bakey by you yeah

And felt that he was not wrong supposed to take a team anywhere and here they are one game from the NFC championship game so yeah these are these are really good teams on the on the NFC side I don’t know that any of the teams are better than Baltimore as a team though

Baltimore Baltimore is the best team when they went out to Santa CLA and whipped whipped the 49ers they look you’re number one right now until the foreseeable future MH do we see any of these NFC teams giving the AFC Champion a run for their money in the Super Bowl

Or is the 49ers really the only team I think if the 49ers played the Ravens it would it would look differ I’m not saying the 49ers would win like when the 49ers lost to the Eagles in the NFC championship game we all knew we were

Robbed of a great game and Brock P got hurt when yeah when he got hurt Debo Samuel afterwards went on Michael Shin’s uh that’s not his name Adam Shin’s radio show and said we would have beat him by three touchdowns said py not get hurt and then they went in

There in Philadelphia and absolutely whipped them and proved Debo Samuel right man handled them yes but when you look at a potential rematch between the Ravens and the 49ers I don’t think we were necessarily robbed of a of a of a good game I think the Ravens just took

It to them but the 49ers are good they’re skilled their coaching is excellent I just think we we’d see a much closer game are you are you because I I I know we picked you and I both picked the Ravens the Ravens and the 49ers for for a Super Bowl and I know

We’re still a week away from before the season before the season correct I still I know we’re still a week away from NFC AFC champion games do you see a chance where Detroit actually can take care of of the um 49ers if they if that’s the game in the

Matchup do you see that that as a do you see that as a possibility I’m trying to because I feel like I could for some reason I don’t know why I Detroit just they’re different than what they have been so I’m get past the books but yeah

And I’m thinking I’m thinking of the the potential matchups Kyle Shanahan versus Joe Barry there’s going to be nothing left to Joe Barry by when it’s all said and done Aron Glenn who’s the defensive cord Joe Barry is the defensive coordinator for the backers Aaron Glenn is the defensive

Coordinator for the Lions and he has done a remarkable job of changing things for that defense the Rams left a lot of points on the board last Sunday night McVey and Shanahan run similar offenses I don’t think that Shanahan would leave as many points on the field

As McVey did yeah so if I’m thinking about from a matchup standpoint like do the Lions have a shot absolutely no question but Shanahan versus Glenn I’ll take that gotcha Johnson versus you know the the 49ers defense that defense is really good that defense is really good too so I wouldn’t

Pick I wouldn’t pick them I wouldn’t pick the Lions but I would say yeah of course they would have a shot because they’re going to play you hard they’re physical right if you’re not ready to play the Lions you’re going to lose that game you need to be physical with

Them or else they’re like a they’re like the B they’re going to punch you in the face they’re going to punch you in the face you’re not going to apologize about it but if you go up to them you punch them in the neck and say I’m still here

Let’s go then I think then now it gets into you know the the match match ups and stuff what about you do you think the Lions could give them a fight I think they could I think just watching how the L play football I obviously I picked them to beat the the Buccaneers

This weekend and I don’t think that’s going to be a close game but I think just the style in which there’s a thing about having confidence and belief like if you got it you feel like you can do almost anything and I think Dan Campbell has instilled something in those players

That they probably didn’t have because they’re the Lions right they they traditionally don’t have success to this manner and we saw it last year when they went into Green Bay and we talked about it there’s no way in the world that they should have beat Green Bay and they did

In Green Bay with Green Bay having the opportunity in Aaron Rogers what would be his last year not knowing it then an opportunity to make it to the playoffs yeah and they go in there and they beat them up and you’re like oh this team is got my attention this team got my

Attention they they they aren’t afraid of anyone no so 49ers will be the bullies but but the Lions aren’t afraid of the bully no so that’s why I think that’ll be a very good match up Jeremy ruford are Blues Insider next in the fast sign on 101 uspn 101 ESPN sports

Glad Carrie went to thei I because I got to cover him I wouldn’t have covered you at uh Michigan so thank you I’m glad to glad to have you glad to cover you bud everything works for works out how it’s supposed to yep I think that’s great and

All I just think he still he should have taken the visit to Michigan uh like he uh said he was going to J.R that’s just that’s listen I definitely shouldn’t have know call no show that’s I think that’s I mean at least tell me you’re sick or something yeah I should have

Didn’t no it all worked out worked out Jr we understand that you have a new piece coming out with the athletic and it’s something I think and I have been talking a little bit about throughout the course of the day today so what’s your focal point for your your latest

Article yeah it should be out tomorrow just kind of a working headline here who knows if they’ll change the headline but you know five questions regarding the blues retool we talk about the core who is in this core uh I list only two players in the Blues core and you know

I’ll tease that you can read the story tomorrow but um you know trades they could make who’s going to be here at the uh NHL trade deadline which is March 8th the blues only have 21 games left before that trade deadline the prospects everybody wants to know if the season

Continues or if it does go south uh which prospects could we see and also the coach who’s the coach going to be when we come out of this retool and also the salary cap with the team not in the hunt perhaps this year if that becomes

The case then will they plan to spend to the salary cap next year so a lot of questions to face I think as this Blues team goes through this retool J.R we were talking about the trade deadline and whether the blues are buyers or sellers how difficult is it to get a

Deal done with all of the no trade Clauses that most of these players have there is a lot and I was actually just putting that list together I mean we can go down it here with uh you know Sammy bla Oscar sunquist casber Captain Jacob BR they don’t have any Clauses but then

You get into the modified Clauses Marco scandella has a seven team no trade bunevich a 12 team no trade not saying that you want to trade him just mentioning him as one of the the guys who has one more year left on his contract and then the full no trades

Jordan Bennington Nick Ley Justin Faulk Tory Krug that makes things a little bit harder so Carrie this is a lot unlike last year where you had guys who you knew you were G to move Ryan O’Reilly Vladimir teraso and you were going to get some good assets back for them and

The blues did they Doug Armstrong did a phenomenal job uh getting first round picks and bringing those guys back but this year your unrestricted free agents to be guys like Kapp in who’s now out with the lower body injury uh he probably won’t be back until after after

The uh the break here and then aana who’s in Springfield maybe a Marco scandel you move and you could get a middle round pick but there just isn’t the return for some of these guys who are going to be unrestricted free agents so then you start looking to the next

Level of guys you know is it a Brandon sad is it a uh a Nick lety well those guys have term left on their on their deals and I think those deals are typically made in the off season so we’ll see what doug earr can get done

Jeremy ruford our Blues Insider with the athletic joining us right now in the fast lane if he can’t move contracts that he he wants to move or is willing to move then Doug Armstrong is essentially stuck with this roster so how does he improve a roster that

Contractually he he he’s not going to be able to have a lot of wiggle room with that’s been the situation for the last year basically I mean when you look at the no trade Clauses that he’s given out and in fact uh with Tory Krug it came

Into play in terms of invoking it I mean that’s just what happens when you kind of handcuff yourself with these with these Clauses and I realize they’re popular around the league as we get closer to the trade deadline by the way guys I’m working on a story about you

Know what’s the Rhyme or Reason about why guys get no trade Clauses and which GMS seem more appropo to give these out like candy uh so we’ll touch on that as we get closer to the trade deadline but it just makes it it tough It’s the Way

Of the NHL I get it if you’re Doug Armstrong you hear from a lot of agents who say hey this is what we want uh but uh it really does hamstring the organization so um you know if Doug Armstrong gets into a situation where he’s not able to move some of these guys

Then you’re right stuck is a a key word that they’re going to be uh heading into the off season but then it comes into using some of these assets and some of these draft picks to kind of sweeten the pot and see if you can entice some of

These teams to take these players that they might not want unless you add that asset you talk about hamstring and then and it kind of puts him in a in a position where you know this Blues team is a a middle of the- pack type of team

But they are struggling to get into the wild card and get into the playoffs does that impact all of that I mean not being able to trade and now what do you do with the guys that you’re going to bring up and also when you get to the draft

You being a middle of the road team not having a high draft pick but not also not being in the playoffs yeah it’s it’s a tough spot to be in and obviously last year it worked out well they got a top 10 pick you know maybe could have been a

Little bit higher but you get a real good player and dbo dorski and you get a lot of assets back for those players that I mentioned O’Reilly teraso so on and so forth but this year could be a lot different you could finish just outside the playoffs you could finish

Just outside a top 10 pick and you could have a situation where you know these guys just can’t be moved so I think that’s the reality for the blues right now you’re just going to have to make the best of of what appears on the surface to be a difficult situation for

Any GM not just Doug Armstrong but you know he he he tried to navigate the post cup you know he he signed some guys that you know in hindsight you probably wish that these guys wouldn’t have gotten as long of a term deals that they they did

And a lot of these guys that you expected to perform you know let’s put some of this on the players they haven’t performed either so collectively it’s all added up to the situation that we’re looking at right now J we can talk about the trade deadline and what you can and

Can’t do what a another high draft pick would do for this franchise can you talk though about what even one playoff series would do for the ownership group because if they miss the playoffs we’re talking about two years in a row where they missed the playoffs and this is an

Ownership group that con is constantly willing to spend to the cap yeah no it is it is something that we shouldn’t Overlook it it does affect the team it does uh I think you know the going rate we’ve talked about this in the past about $1.5 million per home

Game for the playoffs so you know if you’re guaranteed a couple playoff games you know three million is is nothing to sneeze at plus you know we always talk about the experience that some of these younger players could pick up just by playing one Playoff round you know you

Get two playoff rounds if you’re lucky and and that could be some good experience you know it It’s just tough because while I’m a proponent of you know make the playoffs don’t do anything crazy to to try to bolster your team to make it like don’t don’t trade any of

These uh you know first round picks or or some of your upcoming draft picks to put yourself in a position to go in and play one round and then you’re out don’t don’t do that but any experience is good experience but I think um if if you’re

The Blues I think you know truth serum you want one or the other you want to be able to play into the playoffs or you want to be able to finish at the bottom and get a high draft pick what really affects you is when you’re right smack

There in the middle so I think ownership has been Anthony ownership has been very committed uh Tom Stillman the chairman and his group have been devoted spending to the cap year after year after year but I just think it’s going to get to a situation during this retool and I

Remember Tom Stillman telling me this years ago if we ever get to that situation you know maybe don’t spend to the cap and it’s going to jump up to 87 million 87.5 next year and I I I would say at this point that I can’t see the

Blues spending to the cap Jr we were talking about it earlier about the blues being out of the playoffs right now about five points out of the Wild Card uh spot and my question for you is do you think that they have the ability to

Put a string of maybe four out of five wins or five out of seven to put themselves in position to maybe grab one of those Wild Card spots well they’re going to have to let me throw some stats at really quick that uh I just put together for this story so when Craig

Gruy was fired the blues were 13 14 and one right since then under Drew banister 85 and one pretty good right 8 five and one but they’ve actually lost ground in the standings they were uh I believe one point back of Arizona for the second wild card spot when banister came in and

Right now they’re Five Points back and also another thing to remember it’s not just how many points you’re back of the wild card spot in terms of saying you know how far out of the playoffs are the blues uh you also have to look at how

Many teams are ahead of you and back when buuy was let go there was just one team between the blues and a wild card spot now there’s three teams between them so there’s other teams that you’re going to have to Leap Frog to even get back into that wild card conversation

You can follow Jeremy ruford on Twitter at jpr ruford and that’s where he’ll post his latest article which is set to come out what tomorrow Jer yeah should be yeah excellent uh looking forward to that and I’m will’ll use that as as uh providing a lot of content for our show

Too J good stuff as always man have a good rest of your week yep you guys too thanks by it’s fast L on 101 ESPN kri Davis Anthony Stalter it’s interesting it’s going to be it’s going to be fascinating to watch what what happens here with this this

Blues they’re in a that’s the he said it that’s the worst place to be in where you can’t you’re not good enough to make the playoffs and you’re not bad enough to get a top 10 pick and you don’t want to lose you don’t want to you don’t want

To tank because you can’t it’s a tough spot it you don’t like it play better you’re right and um I don’t know why any team and any sport hasn’t adopted this motto but I think it’s I think it’s a just win baby moment is it just win or is it just get

Get in that’s a baseball team just just when baby is is completely new for this hockey team Jr was saying that Doug Armstrong and other GMS around the league are given out out you know no trade Clauses like candy I want my GM to be giv out candy in the manner like the

Guy in Big Daddy who came out with just like a watch some cereal he had to though didn’t have any candy to give out Sunny hadam he did was it sunny or was it uh no Sunny it was sunny but he was going by Kevin Kevin Gary oh wow Marsh

Nice job there there you go oh it’s fast on 101 ESPN which quarterback’s Legacy is is on the line the most in this year’s playoffs we answer that question next Which quarterback’s Legacy is most at stake I I think guys that this is an easy question even though there are several options I think it’s Lamar Jackson I disagree given his playoff history Josh Allen given his playoff history Lamar Jackson is about to be a two-time MVP of the league he has

Answered a lot of questions every team this season could have ass signed him mhm none did except for the Baltimore ravers they brought yeah they could have you don’t think the Atlanta Falcons could have or should have signed Lamar Jackson should they have yes I don’t know how serious Baltimore was moving

Him because he was still a raven he was but they allowed him to have the opportunity didn’t they yeah kind of a little bit it’s kind of like hey Carrie come on over you can have whatever you want in my house and then when you get

There need this in return when you get there I’m going to do some harm to you and you’re like what the hell it was available I’m like yeah it was available is well he he for me is not the one it’s Josh Allen and the reason why I think is

Josh Allen because we’ve talked about the top five quarterbacks over the last three or four years and Josh Allen’s name is often in that conversation but as I told you all earlier going back-to-back games without turning the ball over is not his style he tends to

Turn the ball over which when you turn the football over you tend to lose games and I think we all go back to that playoff game versus Kansas City a few years back where it was just whoever had the ball last was going to win we’re still waiting on that Josh Allen to

Return and I think we have been because we’ve seen it once we see it then we expect it we’ve seen that Patrick Mahomes since that game we’ve seen him carry a team and do all of the things win Super Bowls and do all of the things

That are required from a a true Elite future Hall of Fame quarterback Josh Allen to me is on that fence of yeah I can be a future Hall of Fame quarterback or I can be the Halla very very good and I think he’s sitting right there Lamar Jackson if you win two MVPs

What the hell are we talking about maybe he never wins a championship not great but you win two MVPs you put yourself in Elite an Elite Class of football players Josh Allen has not done that and he has not taken his team to Elite status to be

In a Super Bowl or playing you know in a championship game I think things have changed because the expectations for both teams but Marsh what do you think I think there’s three ways to sort of look at this question I think you have the original question of you know who’s

Legacy is on the line I think Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson are probably the Two Front Runners if of of that question I think another question could be which quarterback no matter what they do their legacy or the the the popular opinion of them will not change I think that’s

Patrick Mahomes if he wins and I think that’s Brock P if he wins I still think that people will say it was the team rather than Brock pie and then I look at who are the players if they win could just change the overall narrative about themselves I think that’s Jared gof and

I think that’s Baker Mayfield yeah that’s a that’s a really good call there at the end there yep those two definitely yeah if Baker Mayfield plays in the Super Bowl what the hell is going on you could throw you could throw Jord in there too based on what people were thinking of

Him heading into the year has he already changed Minds though I think in my opinion he has he has house money yeah I me people were like this guy’s not going to be able to tie his shoes let alone win any games to the Packers what he’s

Done has been very impressive it’s been very impressive now if he is a dud this upcoming week and then carries that into next year then people will go back to well you know had a few he had a few good weeks and right they’ll go back to

Thinking that he can’t tie his shoes the problem with First Impressions is they’re hard to overcome mhm and the first impression with Jordan love was that he was not going to be able to fill the shoes of Aaron Rodgers so now even though he’s he’s proven that he’s a franchise quarterback

At least in the short term and he’s comparable um or capable I should say he still has to prove that now because the first impression was what it was Brock per the first impression was wow kind of fun story who the hell is this guy this isn’t wow can you imagine what he’s

Doing and then he starts getting praise and then everybody goes yeah it’s the rest of the team though he’s going to have to keep winning and winning and winning and then eventually people are are going to have to realize that the kid can play with with everybody else see Lamar

To me I think he’s still got a little playoff stigma to him he’s got he got the contract he got a new o you’re right he’s going to win his second MVP MH but MVPs are not Super Bowls they aren’t but it it’s it shows

Who you are I mean you Super Bowl is a team award it it is the entire team we don’t F you’re absolutely right you are 100% right but nobody talks about the teams everybody talks about the QBs they do and that QB I mean he can play the

Best game now the difference is if he goes out there and stinks it up turns the ball over M multiple times throws a couple ofs puts the ball on the ground while he’s carrying it then you can say yeah this is this is an issue for him

Because in the big moments he’s not rising to the occasion yeah but for me I think he is um he he’s done enough and again it’s it’s for me just looking at it it’s Josh Allen because I need to see him rise to the occasion you have a

Perfect opportunity this weekend at home versus a Super Bowl winning quarterback you had the perfect opportunity last year at home against an AF C Champion quarterback in Joe burrow and you failed this is the second time at home you can’t lose this game at home two years

In a row to two Elite quarterbacks the just that can’t be your resume that can’t be on your resume because then we get to the point hey Josh Allen can’t get it done right when you’re talking about Jordan love I want to go back to that Jordan love I think has solidified

Himself he’s top 10 in passing 32 uh passing touchdowns I sign me up but it pitch ber wanted Jordan love I would gladly take him right now I don’t and I don’t know that there are many teams that wouldn’t Carrie I I think you made great points I the last 30 seconds

Though you crushing Mason Rudolph in the way that you have not calling him Elite and then saying that you take Jordan love over I just I don’t know where you’re coming from I Didn’t crush him as bad as miles Garrett did so no miles Garrett should have 314 399 9646 to the

Aircom service tax line Sports six back is next I have a question it’s time for the fast lane to answer your sports questions I want to ask you a bunch of questions and I want to have them answered immediately asking me all these weird questions answer the question answer the question

Answer me the sport sixpack is now 502 your time check brought to you by Clarkson Jewelers an officially licensed Rolex Jeweler man this show has flown by here hour four Carri Davis Anthony Stalter Andrew Marsh Jamie Rivers says the day off today is the blues work uh

To uh travel to DC so Blues capitals tomorrow time for the sports sixpack question one please question number one all right uh we were talking earlier Carrie you mentioned that for a little bit of time that you guys when you were with the Steelers you guys would practice the full season with

With pads on you wouldn’t do you know you would it led you to be be tired essentially uh so we got we got a question your job your football play we got a question from that statement that you said this it’s kind of long but bear

With me from the 314 love to finally have a football guy on this show hey Carrie ouch how are damn sorry that’s a Ricochet I don’t know what I am now hey Carrie how are professional football players getting tired from hard practices I played rugby for 15 years

Had to pay dues to play high school college amateur and we practice and played year round full contact practice two to three times a week because we had to work regular jobs too like the PSAL service we were out there practicing no matter what do you think it would make

These players better at their craft to cons or to constantly be working to get better is there a logical Folly going on where many of these players think they are the Pinnacle or they are at the Pinnacle and there is no room for improvement well first of all I think

You know whatever you do for a living is is hard work and it’s you know well respected I I just know that running into 300 lb men all day every day it hurts your body and if I play on Sunday there were days on Monday where I

Literally did not feel like I could move or get out of bed it there is really no way to explain what a football game is like there’s a difference for me so I play fullback so I can I can see who I’m blocking for the most part if I get the

Ball it’s a little different there are times where I had to play running back and that’s a completely different animal cuz now I got nine 10 11 guys hitting me Anthony I woke up one morning after we played the Baltimore Ravens I had things hurting on me that I didn’t even know I

Had I what the hell is that why does that hurt is that a bone oh my God I thought it was a muscle so I don’t think it’s that you’re being a baby or being soft it is a hard hard sport this is why you only play one game a week unless you

Play on Thursday night as they want you to play twice a week which if have played on Thursday and and my body still ain’t healed from Sunday so it takes a toll on you I think every person has so many hits in their body before they are

Done and tapped out so when you get to that number it’s a wrap I don’t know what that number is the number varies for every single player told you my teammates said enough hits would not take another hit in my life and he walked out of that hot tub never to be

Seen again he’s still alive just haven’t seen him in person so yeah I don’t know that it’s being babies it’s just it’s a hard life man and and it you’re paid well for it so you won’t hear me complain but trust me i’ I’ve had multiple surgeries I’ve had torn I had a

Torn laum where I couldn’t even do a push-up I got under the bar I benched 400 plus PBS I got under the bar just the bar 45 lbs and it just collapsed to my chest and I could not get it off and I had to practice with that and so I

Don’t know this is a hard life man yeah and I and none of us have played rugby so I I don’t know I don’t know what the comparisons like I know Rugby’s It’s All Sport I know it’s a physical sport I know you guys are colliding to I don’t

Know what the equivalent is though I don’t know when you cuz CU I I’ve I’ve heard rugby players say well you guys got pads okay but there’s also I think about this sometimes and maybe this is just Oddball stuff but like I think about when these guys had

Leather helmets on you know you have a leather helmet on you’re a little bit more cautious I think so I think so as well does that make you less tough does it make it less physical no but you know you have a leather helmet on like you’re

Not diving a players head first like you see some players do probably not whereas when you have a helmet and you’ve got all this equipment on you also uh CD you would know better than I do I only play at the high school level but you also

Know like I can dish out some punish as well I’ve got that P so I don’t know what the equivalency is when it when it’s like you’re a rugby player and you know it’s going to be physical it’s going to be bit you know you get hit still going to hurt yeah

But are you close are you close proximity too cuz some of these dudes I mean defensive L are running 42s full speed hey man full collisions all that do you get that over and over again in rugby maybe I saw Casey Hampton take on a double team Tomlin coach

Paused the film this man had one foot in the ground and two 300 plus pound men were not moving him he the type of people that tackle you and hit you hey man I don’t know it’s just I don’t know what to tell I don’t know

What to tell you it’s a little different it’s a good question though do you think that there are players though that think that they are the the stuff right and so they sort of dial things back in practice because they have that mindset that they got to the highest level and

They don’t need to do much more to be the best um or did you have teammates like that well I I played against James Harrison people always ask me who’s the hardest person was it Ray Lewis I practiced against James Harrison the other day every single day you know some

You know Jordan Hicks throws 104 mow fast ball it’s James Harrison just the fast ball no change up no no Sinker no slot just fast ball every single day and so there are some people that can get away with I guess not practicing as hard and there are some people that now this

Is who I am and this how I got here and this is what the hell I’m going to do and this is how we are going to get better as a team so who who is surprisingly a big hitter Lawrence Timmons Lawrence Timmons is he’s a

Linebacker too he’s a linebacker he is a Ryan Clark too like RC had another teammate Tyrone Carter who I think sometimes would he try to not hey it was this was pre-concussion Era this is before the movie came out this is before we even knew what a

Concussion was um but I I mean I’ve run into a few people Brian arack proo the the the linebacker from yeah Washington big big fell he went to Texas big fella big strong guy like you you run into some of these people sometimes you you get the bear sometimes to Bear get

You just just depends I was listening to uh an old podcast with with the Kelsey Brothers MH and they had Rob gronowski on and then and and grank was talking about that and he he said that he always used to avoid who was the the Florida linebacker chanon Crowder no not Crowder

It was College yeah well he no with the Patriots but he played was it Moss Brandon Moss Brandon Brandon Marsh no Teo spikes no wasn’t there Brandon Spikes Brandon Spikes played at Miami yeah yeah yeah who the hell played at Florida that was a linebacker he was the one that took over

For uh in the in that Netflix documentary oh it was it that was play for the Patriots he was a second round pick I know who you’re talking about I anyway he was he goes I just avoided him in because I he you he just had that man

Strength one way one gron was tell he he’d say he this he was so strong he’d go he wasn’t weight room strong he’d go in the weight room he’d do 225 once he goes ah I don’t got it today and that’s it he wouldn’t even work out but he was

Just you get him on the field he was incredibly physical and incredibly strong yes so many on the tax lines got me on this one I know they was it Brandon Syler no no it was it was brand I know who you’re talking about I can

See his face I just can’t think of his name he may have been the one that took over for Syler he’s a rookie and he crushed uh he crushed he crushed the the one running back Jarvis Moss no Carri you know who I’m talking I know

Who you’re talking about it it I can see his face I just can’t think of his name I’m embarrassed I’m embarrassed we’ll figure it out I’ll I’ll get it I believe in you thank you question number two Carri you just mentioned Thursday night football and having to play Sunday and then have the

Quick turnaround play on Thursday from the 314 Brandon Spikes Brandon Spikes that’s what I said yeah but you said he played for Miami oh did I you said he played for Miami no you said he went to Florida he went to Florida brand spikes I yeah okay that’s right brand SP that’s

Right some guys you you just know my Dad yeah he just well I should have known anyways I should have looked at you and said no he went to Florida he was Brandon Spikes you’re right you should have should corrected listen you should have corrected me

Earlier the at the end of the day it’s my fault anyways Thursday Night Football from the 314 should the NFL do away with Thursday Night Football yeah will they no I mean people are tuned in Amazon didn’t pay all that dang on money for not having no football on Thursday night

Right so yeah no they won’t but again I’m telling you there are there are some teams that you know like Baltimore you know that’s going to be a physical game and you understand what comes with that I told you I had to sit in a a a contraption that separated my neck from

My body because my neck is getting compressed week in and week out I played against the the Cincinnati Bengals and I couldn’t feel my whole right side and I’m in the in the Huddle like hope we don’t have a ISO card on this PL Y in my St yeah don’t feel this whole

Right side Stingers I used to get so many stingers I just became numb to them like the first one I ever had I thought I was dying after that it’s like like oh it’s just a stinger I recognize it’ll come back oh man hopefully maybe it’s unreal go ahead

Question number three wait do we answer that yeah no yeah no to football Thursday that’s right okay yeah where where am I you’re in the fast lane question number three from the 314 so I wanted to get your guys’ thoughts on this and just crossed my mind CJ strout has had a

Great rookie season becoming or coming out of Ohio State I wasn’t sure if he was going to be a full-time starter or just a backup in the league I thought that he was the best of those quarterbacks coming out of the draft but still didn’t but still didn’t think he

Would have this high of a ceiling with the Texans playing the Ravens this weekend do you think that the Harbaugh brothers have been collaborating and game planning for CJ strad since Harbaugh coached against him at Michigan that’s a fascinating question I I would answer it that way if I would answer it

This way way if John Harbaugh is not reaching out to Jim Harbaugh to ask him questions about CJ stra then he’s not doing his job no he probably is ask what did you do what did you see what is he good at what isn’t he good at you played

Him couple of times in college what did you what did you see from him what was what was your defensive game plan going into the game did you change during yeah it’s a great resource you definitely reach out to your people and ask and that is not that is not uncommon by the

Way it’s not like that the Harbaugh brothers are are you know conspiring it ain’t cheap there’s there are coaches one of them likes to conspire ah oh he never Conor stallion never knew that guy was doing that for him somebody got fired because of

It but coaches do it all the time I mean coaches if you develop a relationship with somebody you can you there there are coaches that will call like coord hey what are you seeing what they’ll they’ll help out or they won’t but I hate that team too sure I’ll help you

Out yeah even though they beat us it’s not or players will do it too Carri right oh yeah I mean players will reach out talk about what what goes on I mean teams are sign a player from a play team’s practice squad what does this

Mean listen we love you big time we want you to be here what were their signals what what did you learn you just came from what were their signals questions yeah speaking of questions we’re going to carry over the sports sixpack next on one1 ESPN

I have a question it’s time for the fast lane to answer your sports questions I want to ask you a bunch of questions and I want to have them answered immediately asking me all these weird questions answer the question answer the question answer me the sports sixpack is Now time for the sports six-pack part two here Carri Davis Anthony Salter here’s Andrew Marsh question number four all right from the 636 the NFC North has two playoff teams still alive and the Bears have the number one pick is the NFC North the strongest division heading into next

Season in the NFC ncall yeah I’m assuming he means the NFC oh well they’re better than the NFC South how do you know there’s going to be a lot of changes in the NFC South I’m sure I think the West is still the tougher division really yeah cuz you got

The ners I thought the Rams were going to be awful this year 10 games I did Seattle won nine they’re capable of at least staying at that spot I don’t know I feel like they take a step back yeah especially with Pete carolot the head coach wait he’s not he well then they’re

Definitely not going to that defense that we saw on Sunday they look good yeah if you’re a fer fan if you were betting the over yeah no kidding um NFC South you know the east I guess the North and North is tough I think it might be

Especially if the Lions okay I’ll give it to I go with that yeah this was not a ringing endorsement but sure yeah lion stop team Packers yeah Packers very improved Vikings with a healthy Kirk Cousins when Kirky cousins goes back to Minnesota that that’s that’s a better than seven s fouryear deal

For Godly amount of money yeah no no no I saw a report that Russell Wilson might be interested in Minnesota is is Minnesota interested in him I sure hope not I hope not I don’t want that guy on my team nobody does no boy when you when you read the reports remember remember

After the legion of boom it was a couple years afterwards and things were starting to fall apart somebody it’s probably Seth Wickersham because it’s always Seth Wickersham but somebody did a report about the inner workings of the Seahawks and guys like Richard Sherman and the rest of the Legion boom were

Like yeah Russ is a tool yeah he’s you gotta G the guy to get a hold of him exactly so and then Marshon Lynch said that at one point but they were talking about how much Russ was a problem and this was still when Russell Wilson could

Play yeah and you’re like Noah he can’t be that all of that has come true now not great he’s got this Larger than Life Persona he gets to Denver he’s going to control everything they’re terrible Shawn pton basically turns him into a game manager

Then has to bench him by the end of the year that’s over yeah I agree it’s over but yeah he looked good in Minnesota no I don’t think he would you know you had Justin Jefferson he had different versions no stop saying that uh Justin Jefferson had all these

Different like versions of the gritty had like airplane gritty maybe if Russell Wilson were to be the Vikings quarterback the best thing I could see coming out of that is a new dance for Justin Jefferson the high knee gritty he’s doing the gritty with the high

Knees okay all right that’s it I don’t want that guy on my football team all right fair enough take it e question number five uh Droid from the snake pit asked are there any sports to watch tonight that’s not the question that I wanted to ask but it plays into that when there

Are not Sports on or any games that Intrigue you what do you guys is watching I started watching Yellowstone yeah that’s what you’re saying yeah I I was dialed in yesterday it’s a really good show I kind of like it yeah like it a lot I love I love watching when we

Have time like sports documentaries and things like that I enjoyed the the Florida Netflix series I have seen that one it’s good okay it’s a little yeah I didn’t want to it felt like it a little pom pom for Florida it felt like it wasn’t accurately done I kept waiting

For the dirt yeah like I one one otheris we had Aaron Hernandez on our team moving on urbaner great guy exactly it was like Iran Meer sitting there yeah we had some problems but uh yeah you know what I wanted to focus on was the how hard these guys worked it

Was still good though it was a little FL felt like it was uh yep wasn’t great the uh Barry Sanders document I watch I did watch that one haven’t seen so you need to watch that one that one’s it’s really good and there’s a point that tell me

What to do but I will there’s watch it Wayne f is telling Barry that you know Joe Montana called us at one point and rgm thought he was too old this is when he left San Francisco and went to Kansas City oh no and War Moon Barry’s like what are we doing

Really I’m going to go to Europe and retire the hell are these guys I am out oh you’re not going to keep running me into the ground what the hell do you think this is yeah it was a really good one I liked it I you know I also watched

The do you remember the old school American Gladiators oh I saw that one as well that was that was really good I had no idea how poorly these men and women were paid and treated seriously they were going doing two to three shows a day getting carded off to the hospital

No insurance get back out there why don’t you what in the hell they’re juicing and everybody’s like no you can’t juice it was what you want me to do I felt then they wer paying them I felt shame Jo it as a kid like oh my God I

Felt the same way I had no clue I felt the same way I I looked at uh my wife Chris I go hey I watch this I used to watch this as a kid this was incredible and then I’m watching and I’m like oh my

God feel dirty what did I do I supported this oh my goodness yeah if you haven’t seen the the American gladers if you enjoyed that in your child hood or early adulthood you need to see the documentary on that cuz you and I are

You and I are the same age so I you remember the like I I were like oh yeah I remember bler Blazer Taser Taser Gemini oh man sa like it was it was good time they just treated him like crap pour people into the ground they weren’t even making money off their

Their likeness nothing the toys coming out they’re like did you get a paycheck for video games nothing lunch boxes toys apparently they signed the worst contract in TV history these poor people no idea what they do who was running it the nflpa I I think the

People I think the people that were the creators of that show also then became the NFL paa oh my Goodness bad Nitro yeah those guys man awesome Nitro crying question number six what am I doing what do like oh boy all right anyways uh so CJ Gardner Johnson already talking some smack heading into this week as the Lions take on the Buccaneers he had this to say

About Baker Mayfield he said this group this group probably is one of the better groups we done faced all year besides that Tampa group if you give that Tampa group a good quarterback that’s a great group Evans Godwin Russell Gage that’s a great group I played against them for

Real Baker Mayfield then responded and said I don’t think he’s really watched film because he mentioned Russell Gage out we love Russell but Russell hasn’t played a snap all year for us so my question is and Carrie you could definitely you know respond to this because you were in

This situation but when an opposing player starts to smack talk not in the game in the game is a little different what is that bulletin board material for a team like Tampa did you guys ever have bul board material yeah we we we gave it one time had a had a had a

Safety uh Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh you gave it to him we had we had a safety that um that guaranteed we were going to beat the undefeated Patriots that year oh oh that’s right Anthony Smith yes told our media during one of our practices or after practice that we were

Going to stop the Patriots run yeah and and if you happen to watch that game was it 2007 mhm where the Patriots beat us they bludgeoned us that was when Brady got in his face it was really bad for my man Anthony Smith there were times when

We watched film on Monday that it looked like we were playing with 10 people on film because Anthony was so deep out of the film after getting the ball thrown over his head multiple times that we look like we were playing with 10 people and and this is when I knew Tom Brady

Was really like I knew he was that guy but this when I really knew he was that guy he was literally chasing the receiver down when they were you know spotting the ball and running directly to Anthony and in his face yeah and I’m like oh oh he’s he he means business oh

This guy’s serious I remember that I remember him screaming at him constantly it was a bad game I don’t know what the final score was to that game but uh we didn’t win not great do you think this will come back and bite the Lions because don’t he

He said something like earlier in the year about like the blue ski mask and all that stuff Seahawks went in he he did get hurt Johnson yeah how much has he played I mean he’s he’s played he he was the one that injured Tyler higgy towards ACL no that was Kirby

Joseph speaking of that guy screw that guy he he hurt TJ Hinson and we’re not going to we’re not going to talk bad about is that your guy yeah he went to Illinois I I’m just saying he’s hurt two players now like four week lost 34 to

Four 34 to 13 in that game could have been worse could have been didn’t get but Gardner Johnson crushed somebody though last week I know he did he lit up somebody on the Rams was it Kiron Williams am I was that him how much man poor got

Crushed um anyways we’ll move on biggest question of the day and this is actually it’s it’s Cardinals related I think it’s going to be interesting here we’ll just we’ll just go ahead and tease it for the biggest question today despite our criticisms of the Cardinals how are they going to win games this

Season starting pitching well it’s not that that’s next I wonder to win been 101 ESPN sports center I’m Andrew Marsh it’s time for a sports center update brought to you by salga Heating and Cooling the blues Are Back In Action tomorrow night taking on the Washington Capitals pregame starts at

5:00 puck drop is at 6:00 and you can catch all the action right here on 101 ESPN we talked earlier today with Jeremy Rutherford our Blues Insider from the athletic if you missed that interview make sure you go to 101 espn.com or check out the free1 one mobile app you

Can find all of our podcast and interviews on the podcast page it’s all brought to you by dosty and Auto Centers after the show we’ll have ourselves a blues instant replay so tune in to that as well but we have our biggest question of the day coming up next I’m Andrew

Marsh and the sports center update is brought to you by s Heating and Cooling an independent American standard heating and air conditioning Dealer it’s time for the Fast Lanes biggest question of the Day despite our criticisms despite our frustrations let’s move let’s move the ball forward a little bit here with the Cardinals how do they win next season score more runs than the other team don’t give all that but how does it look to you I feel like the the pitching staff

That you went out and signed have to eat up Innings they have to be they can’t be five and dive guys they got to be six seven inning guys minimum in my opinion more seven than than than six and I know that the philosophy is not seeing the lineup the

Second time around I think you start there I think you have you have to be better with runners in scoring position and and having those timely hits I think last year they didn’t have just the the moments where they needed to make a play needed to make a hit needed to have a

Hit needed to drive a runner in didn’t happen as as as often as it needed to um and and hopefully the defense is better the defense gets better by doing your job every single day being in the same position tring the same guys out in the

Lineup at the same spot every day I think repetition helps you be better you would think I would hope um and so I think you start there pitching giving you six seven Innings timely hitting running hitting with with Runners and scoring position and then very very good defense like the defense Nolan ronado

Had a rough start to the to to last year we were we we know cuz he didn’t win a gold glove first time that I think ever right uh yes 10 years in a row or nine years 10 nine 10 years so we know that he didn’t have the best start to his

Season defensively which is not what we expect so I’m I’m hoping that you fix those things and this team is better I’m not I’m not being I’m not being flippant here when I say this and I know that some people some people are tired of the negativity I get that I

Would I mean I would be too cuz you want to have hope for your team and you want to look forward to it and it’s like hey this is going to be the roster so why not start to put at least some positive spin on it but this is also part of my

Issue with the 2024 Cardinals as we know it when you ask a question like how are they going to win in 2024 the problem is I don’t know I don’t know how they win in 2024 I don’t mean win World Series I mean consistently win games the pitching

Staff to me is improved but that was a low a low hurdle to overcome the offense should be good but it really wasn’t a year AG go they’re not really a power team they’re not really a speed team they’re not really a high average team they’re not really high on base

Team I don’t know how they win all of those things hell car even if they’re like hey we’re going to sign Josh haer we’re going to load up the back end of the bullpen and we’re going to win games like the Kansas City Royals did in you know 2014

Cool I don’t know how they win consistently it’s not unlike the BL what we’re watching with the blues M I don’t know how you put together a game winning streak I don’t know what you fall back on to say this is who we are this is how

We’re going to win games and if we stray from this we know what to do to get back because we just need to be back to be to to who we are Cardinal baseball Blues hockey I don’t know I don’t know who you are do they know who they are I would

Say no based on the roster okay well that’s not great I think they I think they think they know who they are but I don’t as I look at the roster I don’t what is your identity we’re want to play Cardinal baseball that doesn’t mean anything now

I think that I I think that’s the reason why they went to go get three starters to hopefully that be the foundation for for I mean that starts the game off right you are you have to be able to not allow Runners MH not allow runs in in

The first inning in the first couple of innings we saw hey it’s almost like you knew if you got to the game a little bit late there was a chance that they would be down right which if you start the game off putting yourself in a hole it

Changes I think it just changes the the hitters approaches it changes the the defenses approach and now you’re playing in the game from from behind trying to scramble out of that so hopefully the pitching decisions that they made this offseason will alleviate some of those issues going back to something you said

Because I thought it was interesting you said you got three pitchers and we know why they got the three pitchers one you needed them two John M like I said yeah we we needed Innings if the Cardinals don’t let these guys pitch I’m going to be

Pissed if they don’t let them pitch you wanted Innings right yeah okay well then you need to be the one of the few teams then that allows your starters to pitch deep into games to es skew analytics in that regard cuz if you don’t then why

Did you sign these guys I don’t know you could have signed anybody to pull them in the fourth Marsh is shaking his head it it pains him to try to figure out Marsh is the ultimate Cardinal fan I’m cool with one of those guys the fact that we have two of them

Makes no sense to me yeah you got you got three of those guys live the Major League Baseball in Innings pitched last year 25 oh hit home runs likes to bring that up it matters well you know we calculated that this summer it’s going

To be a little hotter and so the ball is actually not going to fly as far so that means Lance Lynn his home run numbers are going to be a little bit lower and I think that that plays in with a bad division you know I think if we just get

In we’ll win but you can’t get you can’t win in October unless you get to October there you go and you can’t get to October without Innings pitched fellas that’s what I’m talking about I love it man that’s I I hope I just hope the last season was a

Rough season in what way in what ways in the way that this is what we do for a living and we have to watch that every single night when they play in always is the answer it always all right this is last 101 ESPN at the board criticisms

Compliments three stars Max on 101 espan if you missed anything from today’s show you can always download the podcast available at 101 espn.com or on your free 101 ESPN mobile app at a fun show today uh with Carrie and Marsh no Jamie Jamie was off I think Jim’s going to

Bit of a comeback Jamie is now 5-2 so he lost yesterday Carrie is three and four I don’t know how I got three and four you and I flipped I was 0 for gopher you were three and0 and then I don’t know how that happened it’s fine we flipped

It’s all right and I am four and three heck is going on here so right now Jamie Marsh me Carrie so Carri and IR time Carrie if you’re wondering if you’re wondering um you missed Tennessee minus 2 and A2 over Mississippi state two Dame

Did not have 24 and2 points 21 21 did he they were beating the hell out of the whoever they played that night I saw that didn’t to keep playing the hell are we doing it’s a tough spot to be in you had Steelers plus 9 and a half that that one bit me

That was tough and then Dan actually picked Eagles to cover over the bucks no well we went we went with Carrie cuz you were talking about the Eagles remember we were going back and forth the Eagles bucks Eagles bu yeah so Dan just read off that it was the Eagles I just write

Down what I hear yeah I know uh but you came back yesterday and you got Clippers minus 6 and A2 so you’re back in all right with basketball uh yeah yeah cuz you’ve been pretty good with that by the way I had a buddy that put

Together a little parlay of some of our picks from yesterday and a hit so well good you’re welcome congratulations to him yeah nice you’re welcome that was a little good job I’m sure he was too when the Avalanche fell behind 42 I’m like this is not good well how about

Charlotte they were losing to Rice pretty much the entire game and then came back and won an overtime here’s the thing about the 49ers here’s the thing about the Charlotte 49ers they’re never out of the game you going to keep Keep I guess you know that I think maybe Jamie’s our leader he sent in the pick earlier what do you what does Jamie have he has over six and a half for the Red Wings and Panthers game tonight tonight at six o00 I believe Matthew kachuck

Going to go off he might I hope so because my pick is Matthew kachuck with at least four shots on goal tonight I think that’s a what’s the odds on I’m going to say now come on that’s was that – 218 Marsh you’re not following the rules it’s at- 120 it’s no

Way what that’s a good play that is a very good play what in the heck which means he’ll probably miss tonight he probably he’ll have like two points and three shots yeah oh man what you have I’m going to go the Miami Heat uh minus three over the Toronto Raptors Toronto

Just traded away past Kel atum so I would hope that they’re down right now you would think yeah think they’re not really good to begin with they’ve lost seven of their last 10 there you go 15 and 25 on the year they’re not great they’re not great no minus three I’m

Going to dip my toe into basketball tonight gentlemen I’m going with the Dallas Mavericks plus four against car’s LA Lakers my LA Lakers I didn’t like the Lakers yeah I had said in the break I go there was a trend they probably win that one out right there the Mavericks yes there
