Episode 4722: Tony Katz Today Hour 2 - 09/09/26 (Mike Koolidge Guest Hosts)

0:00you. I'm a good man. Live from the heart land and the crossroads of America. It's Tony Cats today. Yes, it is. And welcome to it. I am not Tony Cats, though. I am Mike Coolidge filling in for Tony. I'm not Tony Cats, but I'm happy to do it. I always love doing it. I always love talking to Tony Cats, today's listeners. You. That's you. And you're still listening. Even though he's not here. I am in Dallas, Texas at the Republican National Convention Need Terms. Yes, this is an unprecedented thing for Republicans anyway. It is not beginning officially today. I don't know. Four o'clock or so today.

1:01We've got the Republican National Committee head speaking. We've got Jack Graham, a pastor who's going to give the benediction. A lot of Texas politicians obviously because you know, we're here in Texas, Monica, double cruise, Carlos double cruise. And on the honorable Scott Turner, Anna Polino Luna and Derek Van Orden, and the first couple of speakers. Later, we're going to hear from Steve Scalise, Tom Emmer, Tim Scott, Brandon Gill. That I want to see. Brandon Gill is awesome. He is that young congressman who just asks the absolute most, you know, skewering questions to the Democrats. I mean, he makes them critical. He makes them crawl or just completely lose it in their seats of these committee hearings. And he's from here in Texas.

2:01So he's speaking later on. Lorenzo Soule can taxed in candidate for US Senate. That's a big one. That is a Senate race that is probably going to go to Republicans. I mean, the Senate races every four or every every couple of years. I know the Senate terms every six years, but you know, they're staggered. So you have a Senate race every two years and then four years, whatever. But every time there's a big like national US Senate race in Texas, the Democrat spends tens of millions sometimes over $100 million trying to win it. And they don't. They lose. You had better or more run. I think 45 or 50 different times and you know, I think that you have a lot of money in the streets because you don't have a lot of money to be done. You have 50 different times for US Senate. He lost repeatedly to Ted Cruz. And I think he ran once against John Cornen, too. Cornen, of course, is not

3:01running and can't Paxton is. He is the current attorney general here. And he's running against this James Talleriko character. Yeah. I'm sorry. I love Texas. I love Texans. I've been to just about all of the big ones and I just don't see them voting for someone like James Tyler Rico. I mean, policy aside, just the kind of way he looks and talks and acts, he doesn't exactly scream to stostero if you know what I mean. I just, Texans, if there's any state, if I were to tell, you know, like these World Cup fans from other countries who come to the United States and, you know, if you were to say, you just got to go to one place to kind of experience the United States all in one state. You can't leave one particular state. Honestly, I would not say New York, I would not say Los Angeles.

4:01I not even say Chicago where I happen to make my home or I make it outside of it. I would tell him to go anywhere in Texas. Honestly, anywhere in Texas that, and this is the United States of America. Todd Blanche, Attorney General, is speaking at tonight's. We have Mehmet Oz, Byron Donalds, the aforementioned Scott Besant. That is going to be really good. That's a speaker tonight, the Charger Secretary. And then the keynote address tonight, President Donald J. Trump, the 45th and 47th President of the United States. So tonight is going to be cool, going to be fun. And we'll probably have some comment or some content to talk about on tomorrow's broadcast or Tony will, if some news is made. We are going to rub our hands together and have a guest on, yeah, even though this, we did the show last minute, we got a last minute guest for you.

5:03Scott Bertrams going to join us from Hillsdale College after this breaking down some of the other big US Senate races, other than the Texas one. And I think he has some things to say about the NFL, which begins in a couple of hours. Yeah, the first NFL season is tonight. And also remembering September 11th, the 25th anniversary of it is this coming Friday. I am Mike Coolidge on the ground in Dallas, Texas. Filling in for Tony cats today, we will be right back with Scott Bertram. Please don't go anywhere. We are back on Tony cats today. I am Mike Coolidge in for Tony cats. And I'm here in Dallas at the Republican National Convention midterms party. Really, there's a lot of delegates here, but you know, they're not nominating anyone for president or vice president or anything like that. It's really a get out the vote rally, but in the same sort of format and design as these

6:08regular election year conventions. And again, it's not started yet. Doesn't really kick off until later this evening. We've been here since last night. There's definitely got a buzz here in Dallas, the hotels where people are checking in. And the downtown area is obviously cordoned off and all that, the security is super tight. But it's cool. It's exciting. It's not literally cool though. It's extremely hot, pushing 100 degrees. I just flew from the Midwest yesterday where it was like a nice 75 to 80. It was gorgeous. Talked to a guy last night who flew in from Boston. Same thing. Texas. No, it's still summertime here, apparently. And I don't mind it though. It's been a fun last 24 hours. And the next 24 are just going to be a lot of fun. And a lot of people are going to be talking about the Senate race in Michigan and in Minnesota. And yes, here in Texas, drawing some on the phone right now to give us a little insight

7:10on that. And more Hillsdale College's own Scott Bertram Scott. Welcome back on to the radio. Mike, thanks so much. A big question for you. You're at a Republican convention. Does that mean you are going to meet up again with your good friend, G. East Smith from the whole Oatsband and the Center and Live Band leader? In 2016, we went to Cleveland for the Republican National Convention and Scott Bertram. Who you're speaking with right now and I. We shared a hotel room and we broadcast from there. And yes, we did run into the one and only G. East Smith from the Saturday night band. Go have a really cool picture with him too. I don't think he's going to make it to this one unless he lives in Texas. I don't know, but that was very cool that moment. I still treasure the picture. He looked thrilled to meet us. He was so excited. He's like, what? You guys are radio hosts and Illinois? Yeah, sure.

8:11I'll take your picture. His face didn't say that. But yeah, that was quite a time. And we broadcast from a parking garage right across from the actual arena there. And gosh, what a difference 10 years ago it is. And I can't even tell you right now what the breakdown was as far as the House and Senacos in 2016. I don't think Republicans held either one of them, but I could be wrong. Right now the Republicans do hold both the House and the Senate. And the betting markets say that the Democrats are likely going to take over the House. The Senate, however, Democrats have their work cut out for them before them. Because I think they have to win what three or four Senate seats in order to flip it. And I know a lot of people are talking about Maine, they're talking about New Hampshire. But the Senate race in your state seems to be the absolute hottest one.

9:13Why don't you tell listeners to Tony Katz today who are not that far away from you in Indiana. And I know a handful of other states too, but in Michigan, a lot going on there, the big Al Sayed and Mike Rogers race. Break it down for us. Certainly been a race that's been nationalized because of the Democratic Committee of Duel N. Al Sayed. And the Republican Abity is Mike Rogers. This is a second bite at the Apple for Mike Rogers who ran a couple of years ago against Alyssa Slokkin and just missed pulling off that win and flipping this seat read a couple of years ago, which was a really good showing against a strong candidate. Rogers returns here against Abdul N. Al Sayed, who is a weaker candidate in many ways. He is a guy who is he will swear to you that he is not a socialist. But all the socialists love him and he's endorsed by Bernie Sanders and he's endorsed by AOC. And all the Democratic Socialists of America loves him too.

10:14But he says, Oh, no, I'm not a socialist. It's okay. I tell my audience when I guess toast to believe your eyes and ears and not what up Duel N. Al Sayed says. He's a socialist, likely an anti-Semite as well. Yeah. And he has the Hassan Piker Twitch streamer as he calls him, but Hassan Piker, I mean the Rush Limbaugh of the DSA crowd. He fancies himself that anyway. He is, there's all these pictures of Hassan Piker and Al Sayed, fist bumping and being all cool. But I will say I've seen this Al Sayed guy on TV. I've seen him speak. He definitely is arrogant. He definitely has a heck of a lot of confidence. But he's a diametric opposite personality wise and really electability wise to someone like Elise Slotkin who, I mean, if you were to put all the Democrats on a spectrum, she would be on the, if there's such a thing as a reasonable Democrat these days, she's closer

11:18to that than these extremists like Al Sayed. So he's running against the same exact person who almost beat the quote unquote, reasonable Democrat. Last time, Mike Rogers, his Republican opponent, what did the greatest polls say? Is it going to be as close as they're saying or do you have any insight that it might be more of a five, six, seven point race? Well, just yesterday in New Pole, in the Detroit news, had a one point race with Mike Rogers in the lead. It might have been a new CNN poll out earlier today, too, that has two or three point race with Al Sayed in the lead. Polling has been tight. Polling Michigan, by the way, we should point out is is frost with danger. It's been very hard to get an accurate polling. Remember in the, in the Senate primary, we had a lot of polls that said Al Sayed was going to win by 18 points and 22 points and even won by like a point and a half. So Polling Michigan is very difficult. But yeah, yeah, the link we interrupt you about that is second because that's a

12:21huge point. Wasn't one of those polls fake and they admitted it afterwards, it was fake. It's what's called a push poll for political junkies where they purposely were a version of a push poll where they put a poll out there that shows that a race is way more lopsided than it is specifically to encourage people that the race is lopsided. When in fact, it isn't, it's completely made up. Isn't that what happened in the primary? I do believe it was one of them, but there were a handful of them. I think there was a, basically a fake company that was created and then after the fact said, yeah, there were three or four polls. We released, they weren't real polls. They were trying to see if they were caught up in the, they got caught up in the news cycle and were covered and people said, well, you're probably trying to manipulate the betting markets maybe, huh? But there were, I think two or three other polls that were released are sponsored by paid for by Pax supporting Abdul Al Sayed. And those, of course, you have to take with the grain of salt as well.

13:23But again, polling overall Michigan has been very tough over the years. So it's hard to say how accurate these things are. It certainly feels like Mike Rogers is a kind of candidate who can run a very strong race against Abdul Al Sayed. Michigan's a purple state. Yes, the far left is getting farther to the left, but there's a large portion of Trump voters here who helped deliver the state for him. You know, a lot of Michigan is rural, a lot of Michigan is blue collar. Those are the kind of voters that are attracted to President Trump and Mike Rogers, who was endorsed by Donald Trump. And so he's the kind of candidate that can win, can run a strong race. I think the longer this goes, the more we'll see on Abdul Al Sayed. I don't think we're going to be close to reaching the bottom of the opposition research file on him yet. We're speaking with Scott Bertram from Hillsdale College, runs the radio program at Hills dale College for the undergrads there and has won many awards for Hillsdale College's WRFH, if memory serves me correctly, in the Hillsdale region or Hillsdale city, right?

14:32The Hillsdale, it's the chargers, right? The Hillsdale chargers, what Hillsdale College is? Yes, sir. Yes. So, but you yourself then are going to be a constituent. You and your lovely bride are going to be a constituent of whoever wins this race. And again, I don't want to get too much in the weeds here, but listeners throughout the country who are listening to this have different ways that people vote. What is it in what's the deal in Michigan, like as far as mail-in votes go and early voting? I mean, it's starting in my state, Illinois, where you were born and raised really soon, the ability for people to mail-in vote, Wisconsin famously has sketchy voting apparatus up there. Is there more confidence in how Michigan conducts their voting? Is it extreme, early voting there? And is that something that people are going to be watching for this particular race?

15:35That's like 17 questions, Mike. I'm sorry. Yeah. Just answer 15 of them. So, is there confidence? Is there confidence? It's shaky. Detroit and that region does not have the greatest track record of inspiring confidence in voting across the state of Michigan. Early voting for these elections, you've got the individual communities can decide how far in advance they want to provide early voting, they can go up to 29 days ahead of the election day. And in Michigan, as of a few years ago, we also have no excuse to absentee balloting. I'd have to go back and look at the numbers, but for the primary we just had recently, there was an overwhelming number of votes that were done either via early voting or many, many, many of the no excuse absentee voting. The percentage of votes that are cast in person on the day of the election is now, I think

16:37less than 30%, which is, I think, a major problem. That's kind of a story for a different day. So, we'll start voting here in some communities up to a month before election day and no excuse early absentee voting also is going to be rolled out here soon too. It changes the dynamic of things, and people are not voting with the same set of information throughout a race. I mentioned we're not getting the end of the dual analysis and opposition research while well, you can't hold your best stuff to the end anymore because a large number of people already have cast those ballots. Yeah, that's a huge point. That's something like the anniversary of September 11th, which is Friday, and yes, it's a factor when you have a person like Al Sayed who's not exactly pro-Israel, and I know there's a huge Muslim population in Michigan that votes in blocks like they do in Minnesota, and they will most likely almost all, according to data and statistics, we'll be voting for

17:43Al Sayed. So, I understand Mike Rogers put out a video or put out a 60-second ad. We have the audio of it here, and yes, it does reference September 11th. This starts with one of the planes, the first plane actually hitting the Twin Towers 25 years ago. Apparently, a plane has just crashed into the world trade center. Oh, my goodness. Oh, come on. There's another one. Good Lord. There are no words. What are those people going to do? 25 years ago, America was attacked, not for something we did, but for who we are. The attackers tried to divide us with hatred. It had the opposite effect. We united with courage and with resolve. But the hatred behind 9-11 did not disappear. It deserved 9-11, dude. I paid America so much. That's a songfight, where... Al Sayed gives comfort to that hatred. He campaigns with it, accepts money from it, and he justifies it.

18:4825 years later, we are being tested once again. This election, remember what is the state? GLCF is responsible for the content of this advertising. So why... We're coming up against a hard-break here, Scott. Is that in 10 seconds? Is that going to have an impact that, Ed? I think it will, in addition to a digital comments earlier this week from Duel Al Sayed. Yeah. All right. We will be back continuing with Scott Bertram, who is on the ground in Michigan. We're going to get into possibly some other Senate races, remembering September 11th, and also the NFL literally kicks off tonight. Yes, Wednesday night football. Everyone loves Wednesday night football. This is Tony Katz today. I am Mike Coolidge in for Tony. Don't go anywhere. We're back on Tony Katz today. I'm Mike Coolidge in for Tony. Nothing else matters, really. Other than the Senate race in Michigan, if you really have all the other places that people

19:55are watching, the other states, flip. I don't know. I'm working, Scott. I'm trying to do the song, Metallica, because nothing else matters and turn it into a transition as we call it in radio, but it's not working. Help me out here. What is nothing else matters according to our conversation here? Mike, it's sad, but true that that was not working at all. I would just move on. Dandana, dandana, dandana, dandana. That's a great thing about over-the-air radio like this. We can play and listen to licensed music, right? I love that. You can't do that on podcasts. By the way, plug your podcast for a Scott. You do a great podcast about music, which I don't know how you're able to do without playing the music, but I know you've figured it out. What is the podcast that you do about music in politics? The music podcast, which does not talk about politics at all, but features political

20:57guests. It's a little twist there. It's called political beats. We've been doing it for almost a decade now, which is crazy. My co-host, Jeff Blair and I, talk with people in the political world. So sometimes politicians, sometimes staff members, think tank people, reporters, etc. About our guest's favorite band or musical artist and do a deep dive into their music and career. 150 some episodes at this point. So we probably have covered your favorite band. You can find that Apple podcasts and then our Patreon page has a whole bunch of extra stuff in addition to the episodes too. So patreon.com slash political beats. Political beats is the name of the show. Political beats, B-E-A-T, not beats like the vegetable. All right. So we were before the break talking about Al Sayed and we wanted to get into some of the other Senate races. But finish your thought, please, on Al Sayed in the Michigan race.

21:59Yeah, I just mentioned there was something else that Al Sayed had said earlier this week or at least that had had resurfaced, although I hate that word, earlier this week, about 9-11. It was an episode five years ago of a podcast where he said 9-11 scarred our country in profound ways. But what we did after 9-11 scarred millions of other people, when we talk about 9-11, we often fail to censor them. He's a guy who believes we got what we deserved. And Hassan Piker says it outright, essentially, and Al Sayed tacitly endorses it by continuing to campaign with him and not to associate himself from Hassan Piker. He thinks that we've deserved it for many reasons and we should have shut up and taken it and not had any response whatsoever. There's probably much more of that stuff out there. That was just five years ago on a podcast. He probably had something four years ago and three years ago and two years ago. So that'll dribble out. I think the Rogers had the effective, particularly around this time of the campaign.

23:04I'll tell you too, having run for federal office myself and been worked on many campaigns, you are of a heck of a lot sharper a candidate when you've run before. And Mike Rogers losing to a very popular Democrat, at least Scottkin, last time, and almost beating her. I really, and now he has a lot of money going his way. If he doesn't unearth more of these, I would be very, very surprised. All right. So moving on to the Gofer state of Minnesota. There is not a lot of people are talking about this, but there's a new poll out that has that in a dead heat. Can you break that race down for us, Scott, for a tram? Well, I don't claim to be in Minnesota extra. I live here in Michigan, but I can tell you what I think, which is it's going to be a tough one. I know the polling is tight. Right now Michelle, to foyer in the poll, your reference has 42% of the vote. I believe she can get 42% of the vote.

24:05That's a getable number for a Minnesota Republican. But Minnesota is an even bluer state than Michigan. Minnesota is a bluer state than perhaps many people think. And the problem there is finding that half from 42% to say, what, 48 or 49 or even 50, depending if there's a third party candidate. Minnesota has some third party candidate. But you've got to find that extra four or five percent somewhere. That's going to be uphill climb four of Michelle to four. Her opponents, the Democrat, the Democratic governor right now, Peggy Flanagan, very much a candidate of the left. Maybe I'm wrong. You tell me I'm wrong. When all of that fraud, all that abuse from the leering center came out in Minnesota, did you hear a whole lot of people in Minnesota making noise about it being a big deal? I mean, yes, but it doesn't feel like they are dissatisfied with their far left leadership in Minnesota. And that's the sort of thing that Michelle to foyer has to overcome. Peggy Flanagan's an elected official. Peggy Flanagan's part of Tim Wall's administration.

25:06How many people still look at that and say, yeah, you know what? Just do a okay job. You've got to fight that. It's hard to do in a deep blue state. Holding his tight. This is not one I necessarily expect to flip red on election night. I'm more optimistic than you are for two reasons. Number one, I think the stink of Tim Wall's is the stench and stink of him is going on to his lieutenant governor, Peggy Flanagan, who is the candidate we're talking about in the Democrat side. And that little bit could be a couple of percentage points, even though we're not hearing about it. But, you know, like you said jokingly, but it's true. And it applies to me too. We don't consume Minnesota news at all. We're not Minnesota tins. I do have a good friend, a fellow radio host, Dan, the ox-oxner, who broadcasts at a St. Cloud, who also, and he's a long time, you know, born and raised Minnesota.

26:08And he said, watch this. This is a race that could flip. And the talent of Michelle Tafoya, this is a former NBC sports broadcaster, beautiful, really polished speaker. She has talents. And gosh, would she be a fantastic senator? The state of Minnesota has elected Republicans before in our lifetime. Stay wide. So, it's not that far-fetched. And I wouldn't bet on it, but I think the numbers could be similar to whatever they are in Minnesota. Or I'm sorry, in Michigan. All right. We, I want to squeeze in here, the topic of September 11th. We already talked about it a little bit. But your, an instructor at Hillsdale College, you speak with these young, Jenzeers all the time, none of whom, here in 2026, were even alive when September 11th occurred.

27:10How do you touch that topic with them here 25 years later? Yeah, I think it's really important to spend a day, and it's the day, the day close, is to September 11th today, that's there. This year, that's tomorrow, because I teach Tuesdays and Thursdays with my class. I teach journalism, and so I'm teaching about the production techniques I'm teaching this term about radio and audio news. But we sort of break away from whatever is happening to sit down and spend that class period talking about September 11th. You know, I think back to, to events that happened just before I was born. Mike and I was born in 1980. So you've got, you know, St. Helens erupting, and John Lennon being assassinated, and the hostage crisis in Iran. Popying shot. Yeah, and those things, to me, you know, it's hard to feel, hard from the feel real, I don't have any memories of them. And they, they occurred before I was born, even if it was just a year or two before I was born. And so I really want to bring, you know, the personal experiences, I covered this as a

28:14college senior from a college radio station, and so very invested in the story all day long, watching it unfold, learning along the way, delivering those reports to people. And then over the years, you know, I don't know about you. I can't get enough of those documentaries, and there's new ones seemingly every year. There's a new Nat Geo one that's available this year, because there's always more stories to tell. And I just saw one about people trapped in an elevator in one of the towers. They were at the floor 65. They fell to floor 50 before it finally stopped. They had to literally carve their way through the concrete wall and kick their way through to get free and survive. That story, I didn't know about for 25 years. So I try to bring, so I bring my audio from the day like this is, this is maybe, I was year-age. This is how we covered it. And then there are stories from media members who covered that day too. N.J. Burnett was with ABC7 in New York, and he was there as the second tower collapsed.

29:17He was literally underneath it, ran away, talking about how to cover breaking news events. It doesn't get any more breaking than that, because it was an event that no one could have even conceived of. It was inconceivable. How do you handle that as you are literally running for your life in some instances that day? I try to paint, I don't get so much into the how and the who and the why, but I want to give them a perspective of what it was like to be a media member covering that day and also how that day, that event, it changed the country and continues to be such an important point for so many people who were alive to experience it at that point. One of the coolest things I found, and by the way, yes, I do share that fascination with you. My wife and I just watched a documentary about a woman who faked being in the towers and faked losing a spouse for years and got away with it and was a member of the club of

30:18people who lost loved ones and spoke and everything and then found out she was a total hoax. It's on Netflix, I forget what it was called, but it was really good. There's an ex-handle called 25 years ago live at 25 years ago live, 2001 live and it's been tweeting stories as if they were new every single day for years and look at that tomorrow September 11th and they've talked about how they're going to cover it. They're just going to do it as if it really were happening and that is an interesting way, I think, to tackle that. Scott, we unfortunately are out of time with you, but we do have a minute or so here to real quick announce the NFL begins tonight Wednesday night football, who is playing and who cares? I mean, that literally. It's the last thing that we do together as a country watching the NFL and then watching the Super Bowl. It's a Super Bowl rematch tonight.

31:19Patriots and Seahawks on Wednesday night football. Tomorrow's the Rams and 49ers on Thursday night football, two games this week before the full slate of Sunday action. I'm excited for NFL season. I have to carry at the balance two things this year. My white socks are actually could make the playoffs this year. Unlike most years when I can stop watching the white socks and say, you know, mid-May when they're limited from the playoffs, this year they could win the division. So watching the white socks, watching the Bears and the rest of the NFL, that's really my plan for the next few months. Yeah, I know there's a lot of Indianapolis Colts fans listening and Detroit Lions fans, I guess as well. They're supposedly in the middle of the pack of the power rankings, but your Chicago Bears I would be shocked if they didn't make the playoffs, but all hopes brings eternal now here in the beginning of the season. And yes, it does kick off tonight the Patriots at the Patriots at the Seahawks.

32:20And I don't even know we can look, we'll go up on how do you, there's so many, it's so difficult often to find where to watch the games now too though. I'm Amazon Prime and Netflix. I think a refrigerator is showing some of the games and then maybe if you're lucky, one of the networks shows it on the weekend. But Scott, good luck to your Bears this season. And thank you so much for joining us on short notice on Tony Cast today with Mike Coolidge. My pleasure, Mike. Thanks for having me. We will be right back. We're back on Tony Cast today. I will freely admit I'm stumped at this bumper song. I don't know this, this music played. I so I can go ahead and give you a little hint. Well, I wouldn't say it's a big classic rock guy, but it is Chris Stapleton. The song is called bad as I used to be. If you've seen the Formula One movie, it is in that movie. Chris Stapleton, okay, Formula One movie. Thank you, Landon Coons. You're welcome. It's there on the air. Yes, the bumper music all played by the May behind the glass, Landon Coons, who is an Indianapolis

33:26Colts fan, right? That is correct. Yes. Yes. I don't know who and when they play their first game with, but before the break, we're talking about the opening game is tonight. Yeah, that's right. Wednesday, it's at Seattle, New England at Seattle. And it's actually on regular TV on NBC. It's not one of these weird, you know, Paramount plus minus things that you have to get a subscription for. It's on NBC, also live streaming on peacock or Fubu or Fubo, which offers a free trial. And it is at 820 Eastern at time, 720 Central time. That is, yeah, NFL for real kicks off tonight. And then there is a Thursday night game. And then there is regular Sunday and Monday, football. The Colts are looking as far as the power rankings go. The Colts are 20th out of the 22, right?

34:30The 32 teams right now. So they're kind of in the middle of the pack. The Miami dolphins at the very, very bottom and going up. Miami, Washington, Cleveland, LA, or I'm sorry, Las Vegas Raiders, the Jets, Falcons, the Giants, the Cardinals, the Titans, Panthers, Saints, the Steelers, and your Indianapolis Colts at 20. And then Vikings 19, Puccaneers 18, 49 or 17, Chargers, Lions, Sheeps, Patriots, Packers, Bears, and your top 10, according to the NFL power rankings, Houston Texans at 10, Jacksonville Jaguars at 9, the Dallas Cowboys at 8, Cincinnati Bengals at 7, Baltimore Ravens at 6, Philadelphia Eagles at 5, Buffalo Bills at 4, Seattle Seahawks at 3,

35:31the Denver Broncos at 2, and according to the NFL, the power rankings to start off, the NFL season number one, the best team in the NFL, the Los Angeles Rams. Yeah, it's Matt Stafford still playing on the Rams. He's like 50, isn't he? We'll be right back on 20th cast today.
