So how are we feeling today? I mean seriously disappointed angry Oh, you know, you have like a Falcon fan every day Basically basically for the last eight years defense played well enough to keep you in the game By the way, Zadaria Smith only had 16 snaps. Come by making the most of who's actually Quarterback pressure you talk about making the most of it So you know for where we're at right now week one is behind us. We're on one The jokes today have been in lists from our listeners calling in and saying we're in first place because everybody in the division lost But at the end of the day man that That performance is not gonna win a lot of games and look the Steelers looked really bad I don't know if we'll play anybody that places worse on offense as as the Steelers played yesterday Because as the season progresses most of these teams get better and you start to see better performances but Mike How do we fix what's wrong? And is it just about inserting Michael Pinnix or is there more to this because again I think one of the biggest disappointments yesterday was how this online played if they play that poorly even with Pinnix in their

Mike it's going to be a tough challenge. Yeah, and that's the debate I mean if you get first thing whoever Practices and this week guys and I'm not making excuses the last time I'm gonna do is make excuses But because two of God hurt when he got hurt Cooper rush did not have the first team reps So then Cooper rush has the game install. It's got to process all that stuff Friday's generally a day of red zone and seven on seven So Cooper rush now everything gets amped up then we find out he's got a back tweak You know and he but again he told the media he was fine So it's just it's just like there was not enough time to get if it ever gonna get strained ready There was enough time they'll have to make a determination one week to do then he gets all the reps and that might be in November And the season's lost and Jack's trying gets on the field Yeah, but I mean as far as Pinnix Pinnix needs to say to the coach I'm ready and then they go and he gets all the first team reps does all the work and everything's built around Pinnix Starting and then Cooper rush and everything else falls into places back up because two is not healthy, right? But that's that's what's got to start It's got to start with the quarterback So if in rap report is right it's gonna be another week Then we're gonna see you're gonna be up there. They're gonna run through the helmets play the anthem

Ready the Falcon maybe repels from the roof and then Cooper rush leads the Falcons out, okay? I Against a Carolina team that just scored a I mean they lost because their defense was jacked up But man they scored a lot of points 37 pick six four sacks miss kicks Doesn't matter who the quarterback is are you following me on this? There are more things to correct than just how poorly Cooper played and he was bad But those are also things it doesn't matter if you're might you Michael Pinnix for sack four times those are pick six very possible Like kicking mistakes That's how you lose games in this in this in this NFL that goes beyond the quarterback Oh, by the way, I'm just assuming that Pinnix can win this job You know all the guys that are telling me that I'm out of my mind and you don't believe in Pinnix Well, I like to see what he can do so we can settle this for once and for all Yeah, but we're after wait till everything is perfect Because you know guys in the NFL the circumstances are always just Perfect, you know, so we'll have to wait I guess for another few weeks on that but getting back to your point offensive line really struggled

I mean guys and now you mentioned Lindstrom is out so Michael Jarell becomes sort of the I guess the swing guy at guard It's a misuse out there, man, and then Nick folk we talked about it windy conditions at Pittsburgh and he struggled man He said he owned it. I mean no blank Sherlock. You only got kickin it 4047 260929 you are more than welcome to chime in and we've been taking plenty of your phone calls today on a Falcon Monday because It is about you. It's it's about us. We're all in this together. It's frustrating Look, I want to see nothing but this season be the best possible season we can have and that wouldn't mean obviously a run towards the playoffs Everything is still in front of us and that's gonna be the message from Kevin's to Fansky everything still in front of us The problem is you got to get a lot of stuff corrected and you still got to figure out the most important position on the field and so until those things All fall into place. I'm not sure how this is gonna look and by the way, I don't know if you guys have looked at our schedule It ain't easy Those bears are coming in here Caroline is coming in here this week like you started looking at this schedule that 49er team we're gonna see them

There are very Interesting teams like you go And if we're playing like top notch Mike you might feel differently, but we're not we haven't played that way offensively in a very long time So that becomes the issue and then you know the pinnocks thing. I'll say this before we get to some college football Mike may be right he gets out there He does everything that we think he can do But how long does that take is that an additional two weeks before he feels the rhythm and the comfort of being in that office I'm being real with you that that's that's not just he's just got gonna go out there and it's been running his offense for 12 years of his career That's a new again. It's a new offense to I had to learn a new offense He got all the reps and he gets hurt and basically the next day the day before you got to get on the road So it's just like you can't make this stuff up So some of this is the reality of you know the quarterback under center has got to be familiar with this offense It's got to have the reps and that wasn't the case and then unfortunately couldn't get the ball over the line of scrimmage I was less than so that many deflected passes. I mean a lot I mean a lot I mean even to it doesn't do it at that level. He's shorter than he is he is but even when he did my five yards and beyond

I mean like that that's the problem. No if you own Drake London if in fantasy or Kyle Pitch You're throwing something at the TV pits. You know, you got a chance for a touchdown I mean really a big play you under throw it pits does his job. He's open You can't get Zachariah branch and all the other playmakers that we were gushing about the rock is either he didn't see it or couldn't process it Yeah, no doubt about it. I'll tell you who did process. Let's talk some dogs Okay Kirby we see you 60 70 when you go school this week 80 I mean Kirby we see you Kirby smart is Mr. Las Vegas Cover that spread Western Kentucky they go down 70 to 20 gunner again for the limited time he played 13 to 16 234 five touchdowns all in the first half so yeah Let's go ahead and turn the page and Say what is the first SEC game look like for Georgia on the road against darkened saw because that's where I

Focus will be this week Connor Riley is gonna join us tomorrow. We'll talk to Mike Griffith later in the week We'll grab some other guests in relation to this game But the first two games of this season they weren't test They were literally scrimmages for the dogs and that's what we expected what I did not expect to Mike's point is the 60 or 70 point score by the offense in consecutive weeks Yeah, man, you look at Georgia and we talked so much with Connor Riley about you know the playmakers How about psychobi white health and the one beautiful touchdown ball tail and tailor who dropped that that pass against all Alabama a year ago two years ago He comes up with a big one so there was enough to get everybody involved Dandridge had a couple of big catches I mean there's just so much star power on this offense and Nate phrasier just Nate phrasier looks like an old school Georgia tailback you guide I need he does I mean he looks like a dude we were tired I know I joke around with Connor. I said you really think we could have a thousand yard russia with the dogs this year Nate phrasier looks every bit of that. They are a 20 and a half point favorite as an SEC opponent on the road Think about that there are a road dog and there are 20 and a half

Fave going up against Arkansas. Yeah So Georgia is is doing exactly what we expected new AP pole the number two behind Texas and before we talk about Texas Let's talk about Georgia tech Mike Was that what you expected against Tennessee on Saturday? Yeah, I knew I always felt they would beat Colorado and lose the Tennessee if I if you ask me to handicap the first two games And then you get mercer and then you get in the ACC But now maybe and I talked you and I were talking about this on Saturday, Texan back and forth I just thought maybe this is why they didn't cut Alberto Mendoza loose against Colorado Because he's too many turnovers. He's just not seeing it either way man two picks were just awful The defense is remember they spent all a lot of their money on defense and it's not showing up You know, especially getting after the quarter and that's a true freshman phase on Brandon look nice job Did everything all that was asked of him made good decisions and let the other guys do the rest yeah 18-year-old kid on the road and that environment. I thought he was great 45-24 was the final score So here's the deal with with Georgia tech right now they find themselves all into

Look speaking of the things being in front of them They've got to run the table now in the ACC which is going to be very difficult Because that's your only end to this playoff now you've lost the Colorado I don't think I'd rather play off team I don't care how the rest of the season goes and Tennessee looks really good But it's a long year and they're in the SEC I expect a couple of else there but Mike I'm not sure with the way things are going right now If they're going to be able to do that because they can't stop the run This has been two consecutive weeks where Colorado did what they wanted to on the ground and then Tennessee said hold my beer Right This is a problem when teams want to run the ball like this and the funny thing is we said this I talked about this last week the the perception of Tennessee is you know air raid They want to throw it around and Josh Hyple no they want to run the ball And that's what he did in this game So when you have one back in Bishop going for a buck 47 and two touchdowns and then they ran for 299 On the ground that's a that's just a problem. I don't know of Brinkie and his staff right now I'm going to be able to solve with the players they currently have all right Mike the game of the weekend turned out to be that

Let me give you a number here 23 23 2310 23 17 24 23 that was the final score as Texas came back and you said how big was this game for Not only archmaning but four steves arkison Look it speaks for itself I think if they lose that game especially the way that things were going and the way things were trending If they don't have the second half if archers have the fourth quarter He was just unbelievable guys in the fourth quarter arch 13 to 18 125 yards And those last three drives literally just say get on my back This I'll take us to the promised land so those are the kind of those are the finding drives that I think people have been wanting to see But I will say this there's never been a player in college football with as much pressure as archman No, I mean think about when he first came to Texas, you know that you just assumed that he would remember this is an arch This isn't a patent son isn't e-less and this is Cooper son now time to coupe you my favorite remember that

That's easier than with a JB smooth But no, I mean this is a young man that the expectations were just Completely unrealistic everyone just accepted boom. He's gonna come in. I'll play two years of Texas He's off to the NFL Well in this case He's finally coming into his own and I thought it start called the great game But he mean think about those fourth down conversions. You're talking about on these drives I mean these are big money drives pressure situations kind of stuff that you've got to make Is maker break for this team and they're able to do it and Ryan Day and I got to be honest Our old buddy are to Smith kind of went to a shelf didn't they have times now again the great wide receiver And they've got some amazing talent. I mean they are wide receiver you right now But if you're the buck guys you had Jeremiah Smith drop a ball. He can't drop I mean that that was that crush that talking about a momentum shift in that game But archman and insert this is huge because otherwise guys like me and everyone else are chirping They just can't win the big one. Yeah, Jeremiah Smith still had a eight for one 64 is a big night I mean and the thing is he hadn't played well Against him the previous year the you know long horns were able to shut him down But give credit to the defense man

Four-fuel goals three were made they held the the buck eyes and I thought the defense you know What was really good especially late in that game, but you're right I thought Arthur Smith got conservative Mike. I really did I thought like they took their foot off the gas a little bit now a little bit of that credit goes to Texas's defense again But that that if you most Ohio state fans and I've talked to a few over the weekend We're blaming how the offense looked in the first half compared to what happened in the second It's our old buddy Arthur Smith. Okay. You're up by 13 It's fourth quarter Run run pass three and out run run pass three now because it's 23 So it's 20 to three and you're trying to say Let's just hold on eat some clock. That's it. But anyway, that's you go back and you look at it And it's like man you can't that's not the way it's gonna fly now You did have the decent driver to miss the field goal attempt, but Ryan Day This is the same stuff that Ryan if you're not a Ryan Day fan and a lot of Ohio State fans are not even though they won the netting two years ago There's some things that left a scratch in your head But this is huge for archmaning's confidence huge for Sark

We'll talk more about Sark coming up in Guy talk, but yeah, man. That's that's exact and by the way the SEC It was trending in the wrong direction because Michigan beat so clumbacus Meteor runs like a deer and still throws like a deer I mean day day all those videos and mater looking like an X-man Maybe lay off the Joe weeter arm blaster. How many passes can you sail over the heads of your receivers in that game? Those ugly man and we're bitter because we all battle clone. It was ugly. All right More college football as we continue to move along especially tomorrow will break down many more aspects of what we intend to see from not only Georgia But also big shout out to to Georgia state right got a big win So it's it's been a fun couple of weeks here man. I think it's gonna be by the way I think this is wide open as much as I was all about hook him Right this this season is wide open can you guys truly definitively put your finger on the national champion right now I say oh there's so much better than everybody else. I can't can't kill him to bore That was a big one for Alabama to Kentucky kind of blew that with that horrible fake punt decision

And then Alabama was often rolling and then the athletes the athleticism just kind of took over by the way FSU fires the athletic director also by the way It's big. Yeah, that means Mike Norville if it gets they get humiliated by Alabama You could argue maybe a buy after Miami, but Mike Norville's dead man walking right now and tell hasn't all right man We got plenty more to dive into what it kept in Stofansky say today. We'll let you hear it when we come back on sports radio 92 9 again About the braves boy season is winding down and I feel much better than I did a couple weeks ago with the fillies I thought they might have a real chance to catch us with these head to head matchups We've handled business man And there are a lot of good things that are happening with this team We'll talk to Grant coming up in the five o'clock hour more on Obviously the Falcons and your thoughts as the phone lines continue to be open We've been talking to you guys all day long here on a Falcon Monday and rightfully so because week one is in the books You'll hear the coaches show tonight when Mike and I get done at six with Dave Archer

And if you're just tuning in real quick Dishon Han expected to miss the season Quad injury Which is certainly not good news when you talk about the depth of the dt's the defensive tackles And then Mike the other news is obviously Chris Lynchstrom in concussion protocol Yeah, so Michael Jarell from Finley college would be the guy as a swing He's right now listed as sort of the swing tackle guard So you know, it's it's not optimal, but he's it's next man up and You know, it's one thing I always give credit to find and we generally had pretty good depth on the whole line And and this year we're going to see how it works this time around Somebody did one of those analytics charts, which I can't figure out where they you know They have the slant and they have like a line going up and all the quarterbacks names, you know And I can't read this stuff because I flunked out of Florida state. I don't know Maybe you're good as statistical analysis. Anyway Jackson Dart was really good. Lawrence was good. Kela Williams was good And then very low at the bottom is Cooper rush So that's not good. No, so I could read that chart. I mean, I get something that's a little bit We're very it's a very bottom of expected points and stuff. That's where we are. Yeah That's uh, it's it's just

There's a part of me that um wants to give him a little grace and the other part of me is like this one your first game You're not a rookie. You've seen things in the NFL you've won games in the NFL being the starter And it just felt like he was on another planet on Sunday. You know as we said It's just are just call it stupid Falcon luck to is prepping to be the starter. Yeah, he gets hurt Thursday So last minute they've got to pivot everything then goes to rush so he doesn't get the full week of the work up To be the quarterback now he has been practicing with this team those reps matter and it's the fans. He's off fans with time He reached but unfortunately it looked like you know If the moments were just too big for him, you know, we just it's it's simple. You can see it There's things that just weren't executed things that he could he if we guys were open He didn't see it and other times, you know our offensive line struggle We're not we're not saying it was a walk in the park. That's a great stealer defense We get that but there was still enough plays where he had time to hit the ball two Kyle pits could have been a big big moment in the game Undistros it and then if you're a drake London you saw drake London's frustration

I want to say it was in the second half and drill Drake is is as we know Drake's passionate and he's serious about his business And he's sick and tired of losing and Drake was frustrated. We didn't get to see anything from Zachariah branch You know, we got one we saw a dosing get a catch But it's just this is there's I'd much read this is what it is now Maybe with a full week of preparation. Are you telling me Cooper? Usch can be better than what we saw Against Carolinas. It's possible How much better Mike? There's a reason why he's been a backup in this league. So right. Yes, so I'm with you I believe we don't be I hurt steak like freaking out. Yeah, I was too mean You know what you as Carl said. He's a professional and if you say you can go you go. Yeah, he sucked It's just what it is That that was a bad out outing for him and and you know the thing is though that was that was many Many people around the country with all the conversation about be John and all of our guys getting paid over the offseason That was your first look at us and it just didn't look good like that. That's the other part of it Let's hear from Kevin's to fans. He spoke today again. It was a media session Zoom and so he did take questions a day talking first and foremost about the little mistakes

And this is the thing again that bugs me we're talking a lot about the quarterback and rightfully so Some of this is coaching guys So some of this is is discipline some of this is your team not doing the things they need to do and you're gonna say Well, it's week one there were a lot everybody else is week one too and a lot of these mistakes There are teams that did not have nine penalties. We're almost a hundred yards here's to fansky You know week one a lot of little things a lot of little things that we can improve and a lot of those little things add up to the big thing and Again, why you don't come away with a victory there is a bunch of little things that add up and we have to be better We will be better so today big day for our football team to learn from those things and have our coaches spend time with our players and point out those things and And then you know come back better for it And then move on to you know a division opponent at our place. So Excited about our opportunity that we have in front of us But also want to make sure that we learn from the one from yesterday. How does he evaluate Cooper rush like because we can evaluate him And obviously we're going to do it differently, right

But you're right if he is the guy this week again, you just can't kill him all week you got to build him up right and hopefully as we said You know the timing of it was tough. He was maybe not maybe not a hundred percent But he went what a concept Michael Pettics. What a concept but you know he's out there and Guys tell me look he's Pettics is probably not going to play this week again. I don't know if he and Rappaport is correct They didn't put him on the you know the I.R. That would have been four weeks. So then okay. So maybe it's three weeks from Mike Perhaps so that would be what Thursday night over the Packers right I'm so still I'm over speculating No, I mean like I said I just and this is nobody knows and like there's there's two groups of people when we have this conversation Guys that get it and guys that don't in the NFL's long history If you are cleared medically cleared you were generally expected to play And did we get into all this stuff about no man. It's his career and Michael Pettics hasn't shown anything guys nothing consistent Some good some bad some ugly You know some of the things as we said beyond his control

But if he wants he wants to be with this team if he wants to stay afalcan and get that fifth year option picked up Or just have four years because guys he's not gonna get an audition next year This is it This is it for Michael Pettics Jr Take it win it or they're gonna go draft a quarterback and you will not be the starter here You know that two is never guys two. It was never a long-term option He was always a stopgap and he can't even do that right Carl So it's there is a chance and there are also just purely and this is as nothing to do with football But just to go win over the fans guys like me and just hey give us a reason to be excited about son and get out there and do it man Take some contact prove you can go Patrick. Oh, he's gonna be wearing a knee brace. He's not a hundred percent He's going do you think Patrick my homies has anything to prove same injury by the way Patrick moments doesn't have to do anything his resume is set his trip to Canton is set You know you haven't proven anything yet You don't get the luxury to say well, it's still not a hundred percent Other than guys and apologies for people don't have a work ethic Let's hear Kevin Sifansky on how they plan on working and making Cooper rush better

Well first part is like I mentioned you guys Cooper you know battled obviously you want the the turnovers back You have to give credit to the Steelers as well on those plays so Those are things that we can learn from all of us can learn from those plays and then you know talking about helping That's our job as coaches. We want to help all of our guys whether you're playing quarterback or any position on our team So ways to give you easy completions ways to run the football ways to You know score points any which way so that's a constant thing that we're looking at but um You know that's not that's not unique to that game at all We just there's things that we feel like we can do better and and that's what again like I mentioned Those are the conversations that we have today that we we can be better as coaches We can be better as players and then let's let's learn from this one Yeah, and look there are again A lot of things that I was kind of surprised at that we did really good Um, we just did enough of it. Pass rush was I mean better than expected better than expected

I thought linebackers pretty solid you basically you didn't give them the big run game They didn't really get any traction to late in the game You know, and that's where and around the field a little bit late in the game I thought a j torrell was a concern a j torrell really had a tough day and you know team generally don't throw his way They'd pick on the other guys and a j torrell really and that car. That's a bad day at the office the passing interference Yeah, the grasping you know, I mean just couldn't get it get a handle on receiver I think though Mike, you know, these guys get paid too if I got a stud receiver I don't give a damn who's out there. I'm throwing at it right and that's kind of what what air and roger's like I don't care who's out there now decay medcaft did push off a few times because he's just big and physical That's just that's his game, but but at the end of the day handsy handsy a j All right, man. Let's hear Stephansky. This is the one you're curious about before we get to some guy talk with Mike Falcon reports coming up at five o'clock We'll get into some of the specifics of yesterday But Stephansky today talking to us uh said this about the timeline on the quarterbacks meaning Will to be ready will pinnicks be ready? What's the deal?

You have any any clarity on how the QB spot will look this week health wise is anybody I don't have any updates on that today Daniel coach. Do you know the timeline for that decision? I mean do you expect it to be by wednesday or could it last all the way through the week until we get to friday and saturday Yeah, we'll see mark. I really don't have an update yet I need to get through uh today before we can really make that determination and that's not going to happen guys Because you're not going to not get the guy ready that might just explain what I went down last week But part of it is the lack of preparation so you know Yeah, there were limited things you could do but Hell when a guy's open throw the football That's that's just simple quarterback play But you're not going to wait till friday to declare Michael The starter and then all of a sudden he's got a day day to have to get ready This is going to happen probably tomorrow and they'll go on the Wednesday mic No one which direction they're gonna gonna gonna start the week right I mean love to be able to talk about Michael Pennix and you know the big time return We talked about big moments going back the old days of georgia Mike Vic coming back at a schedule from the broken leg and getting that win against carolina even with the Falcons completely eliminated from the playoff picture

So expectations experiences with players playing with some pain or playing with some discomfort You know and this guy trying to establish his baseline and I think I made the argument if you don't follow you don't follow That could be the that's why I said earlier you could be coming to the rescue of this team if you can do your job Deep match is going to have to have their a game in the car against that carolina squad no doubt 4047 260929 you guys getting chime in also the first Falcons home game of the season is this Sunday Start your game day with sports radio 92 9 the game our tailgate party will be at the corner of him MLK and Thomas w cold just two blocks west of the stadium food drinks lots of fun Andy bunker Joe Patrick will be there with the tailgate show from 9 to 11 that's Sunday at the corner of MLK and Thomas W cold on sports radio 92 9 the game Mike what's coming up in guy talk hey man And which NFL quarterback puts on way way way too much cologne also coming up take a wild guess Which super bowl tom Brady decided to bring the Call sheet from to explain and talk about it on television

Yeah, ours. It's coming up next to guitton You know, it was it was like a perfect Sunday afternoon, you know, I mean you I you I know you were ready to go You're your average of choice to maybe celebrate or drown your sorrows after the Falcons I had a nice cigar. I had one of those 30 30 year anniversary predominant You know, and I'm kicking it back. I got a nice cocktail going on a high west double-ry You know, and I got I bought those chairs from outside that go over call out to over-cliners. It's great Perfect I got the flat screen everything's great and we're in this game. I mean we're in we're I mean it wasn't like we went up to Pittsburgh and got you Millie it we're in this game, but it's just that that classic Falcon Media-occurty which is crept in Nick folk best kicker money could buy in the offseason Five years most reliable kicker than if all misses those two. We'll talk more about it at five o'clock It was just frustrating brother. I mean we we at what point did you lose your ish or you just kind of shrugged? No, I turned him a shell and she said them Falcons, you know, we laughed because right that's that's what it is

I mean every year she sees me Go through the ups and downs of hey, I think we're gonna be all right. All right. Maybe they'll keep you close Maybe it's the fourth quarter It just drives you crazy anyway. We also have an injury to report a couple of injuries actually one guy done for the season Another guy probably out for the week. It's coming up guys at five o'clock with the Falcon to pour Hey, man the US open is over and Alexander Zerv beats Atlanta's own Ben Shelton Good looking kid his dad coach did tech and then coach Florida Both coach the women here in tech then the boys tennis team down at Florida But his son obviously is climbed up the ranks And so as Zerv has gets to speak with the Mike because everyone's got to talk after the match at the US open He well, he shoots a shot some would say it depends girlfriend.

I was trying to say I thought I lost It's almost like you should have like minds with the phone Trinity call me big. Yes. Yes exactly I'm not sure why but Ben Shelton is making his way back out to the

Hey, one of the other cool things I shoot Carl I don't know by tweeted it out, but it's a pretty funny video I saw where seven minutes into the match because they have a clock that starts when the match begins at the Arthur Asha 10th Center at the US open and And Pierce Brosnan looking very napily attired looks very nice and And they shoot and they see the background is seven minutes in the match So they've literally freeze 007 and they show Pierce Broszman funny James Bond for those not fine. No, it was it was perfect timing Perfect timing so credit to the ABC ESPN camera guy Hey, man speaking of camera people some technical difficulties apparently before the half when Sark was down to the Ohio State Buck guys and he had to wait and wait and wait and finally you know the coaching interviews Which are stupid and no one ever says anything. This is not a comment on Holly Row It's a thankless job because no one ever says anything the only guy who said anything remotely interesting was the old Oklahoma state coach After that huge upset my gun. But that was about. No, he gone. It's the new guy. Oh you know my good after this Yeah, the new day gunning was that guy But anyway, the reason I bring it up is apparently because of the staff who before halftime Sark was in his fields after the game which he just won

So here's the audio by now you've seen of him running off the field Go Texas and out the door he goes and he's gone and poor Holly just like throws out her hands like are you blanking kidding me The Holly's like I'm here for one thing and this is it. I didn't get to do it Yeah, there were allegedly some technical difficulties And so he had been held up. I think prior to that and by the time they got to him he was like peace So that's that's kind of allegedly what happened. It wasn't it wasn't a personal shot at Holly right It just it did it was weird and then the end of the night somebody called a shot It's pretty cool and one of those boosters sweets or his sweet at at the stadium You saw Sark and his wife at the end of the game kind of taking it all in after everyone had left the stadium Yeah, man. I mean, it was a lot of party and going on It'd be bigger Mike if it was in January, but maybe that's that to come right and I just thought you know I love dogging out my partner on Texas always coming up short against Sark That's that's got to be a huge confidence boost for these guys no slip ups

But again at SEC schedule is a beast Hey, man. By the way speaking of a college of college game day being there in Austin pretty cool to see I'm at the macata. Hey given tips to the kid who kicked the 1.2 million dollar kick Gonna be million dollars now again. This kid obviously kicked in high school. Yeah, if you didn't see it because the kid was Like an NFL kicker the kid you see it day day was money But Connie is like, you know, I just want to he's so make sure you laugh for the win right there You know, he's gonna help him out. It's hard man And then Mac if he goes like I'm gonna throw another hundred grand and Kirby herb is gonna throw it I am I am so at 1.2 million the kid makes the kick and 600 grand goes to charity kid cats the rest. I love it man. It's one of the The fun things that they do Because Phil go kicking we always make fun of it again Nick folk right right? I mean, but it is it's tough to do in that that kind of environment Find that young man up anyway It's a guy talk if you're just getting your car plenty more the latest on the Falcons more of your phone calls guys coming up right here on Tucson Bell a lot of folks felt that you should have probably just taped the interview with Ted Cruz As opposed to have Ted Cruz

A bunch of college students in Austin, Texas even though he is the I guess he's the senior senior senator from Texas Austin is a big blue dot in the red state if it's a red state. It's kind of purple But either way Ted Cruz trying to explain the safe college sports bill and just getting obviously just Raining down booze and negative comments So I'm just you wasn't surprised you but I'm saying you got the where's the producers? There's just do a one-on-one you could roll it on tape from inside you could have recorded it anyway No, absolutely there were many ways to go about that they they rolled the dice on that and it didn't turn out the way they thought what's up Oh, well it's tough because you got Sabin who's a big proponent of the bill Who has got a big watch the SPN and he's part of that pregame coverage on game day two so and take In his corner with this yeah, right. Yeah, hey man Tom Brady You see him doing his thing they got the commander's Eagles game Which trying to build more closer than we may be expected as commanders came back Oh by the way step on digs we talked about it earlier a couple of knucklehead moves in the in the end zone Cowboys running back pull to move where he's like you want this you can't have this you can't have this as he runs The end zone that cost them field position and a missed extra point the commanders were probably going to go for two in that game to tie the score

But if you didn't see a step on digs gets his first catches a commander and then wraps his arms and legs and basically is up against the the up the extension the uprights of the In the end zone and the refs goes just throws the flag and that's you know you can't be humping the the goalposts Yeah, and I watch the replay they just showed it again in here In the studio and I was like it was just for split second, but again you can't do it I mean it's not the biggest thing in the world But you know they've made this a thing. Hey man speaking of Tom Brady So he breaks out the superbowl 51 call sheet in case you guys are wondering how a call sheet works Now this is inside. I do enjoy from Tom Brady explaining the color coding and what everything means It's basically the wristband was already auctioned off by the way And I think it's on they get one of the wristbands at the Patriots Museum that they have there At the stadium at Gillette, but he went through the whole thing explained these are runs These are passed down in distance and how everything works of course it had to be our superbowl So I was getting triggered watching this. Yeah, I'm surprised Well, not because it hadn't happened yet It one of those is gonna end up in the hall of fame like what would he go in?

I think one of those is probably gonna end up But yeah, you talk about insight like give me something different that was different I didn't like the premise, but it was different last night giants and something at football As good as the giants have looked arguably even when the years of dayball had it together they didn't look that good So John Harbol's effects is we've described earlier seem like they'll really be working with the giants right now Yeah, look coaching matters in the NFL and I just think you know, you see some of these first time coaches surprise you And then you see guys that change scenery like Harbol and I got a great story about his dad giving the pregame Speech is actually the day before that got the guys really going and his dad's 87, right? You know, he's the guy that came up who's got it better than us Nobody and he used that for years right him and his brother both right But the giants players are are talking about how inspired they were when when dad his dad Harbol came to talk to a mic. Yeah, they look really good. By the way speaking of the Harbols How on compelling is the L.A. Chargers?

That was ugly loss. I mean, I didn't expect that I was on the team right I did not expect that and Joe be Jacobi percent outplayed He outplayed Herbert yesterday And that's the team that everyone's got high hopes for and that's just they they look so sluggish We just talking about sluggish we've looked and the steel is like sluggish too. Hey man You just see after the giants game right now. It's going viral. I know you I think you posted it on Twitter Data have you seen a cam scat a boo still in uniform Being interviewed by the New York media after the giants win last night while in the background like a skit from a movie like a naked gun movie James Winston is applying cologne Behind him and it's like a spritz on the shoulder on the neck Now the question is is he aware of the cameras there and it's simply James screwing around or is that the game is really where that much If I left out loud, I've got it up at ATL Bell. That's me Mike Bell ATL ATL Bell 99 It's just everything this guy does just makes me chuckle You know what he does his little stand-ups, you know his podcast. It's just you know living his best life You know, I tell you what in hindsight. Remember you and I talked about bringing him here

Everyone talk. We did. We did. We talked about this last off season I wouldn't mind getting James down here to Atlanta that fun we'd ahead anyway Carlin uh Carlin uh to me Andy a Randy had a thing where they talked about you don't put on that much cologne And go home afterwards That's true. Where are you going to put that much like you're not going home with that smell like you dog? To the club by the way, I've always felt now if you're coming to work. It's just One on the pit just one on the other pit That's it. And if you're going out, you're going to be out all night It's two on each and maybe one or two on the undercarriage That's how I roll day day. What's your collod of choice these days? Uh, so right now. It's a new bogari that I got for Christmas and then I just actually ordered a new YSL Nice. And I believe it was delivered today. I'm looking forward to getting home to see that smell did over the weekend And I was like I gotta have this and I know the wife is not going to get it for me. So Yeah, man, the bogari, I love bogari. That's I love bogari the bogari black for men. That's what I wear and yeah

I think of the Tommy Bahama stuff. It's too light. Yeah, where's off to? Don't carry. Don't carry. Don't float man. What do you want these days? What'd you what you smelling on me? I uh, well, I want to we went to France. I brought back some cologne from France that they may handcraft it. Yeah And I've been on it man. That's the one I've been using because it does not it doesn't go away It stays on you. And orange daddy orange. What are you smelling like? I found this fragrance almost like by mistake like 20 some of my years ago Victoria secret to the mint fragrance come very sexy. It's subtle, but it's really good. So yeah. Nice shout out to that It's big of Victoria's secret. Uh, not that she has modeled But Sydney Swini getting more and more heat for doing that I guess futures market commercial where she's naked and everything with a strategically placed basketball You didn't eat from who? Women who are less attractive than tend to be feminists. Generally don't like beautiful women using their sexuality to you know make money Okay, historically in my experience. Yeah, yeah, take a take a car I know a lot about how feminists feel about things from my experience on Twitter I just generally that seems to be those are the people that get angry the most. Okay. I was wondering if it was mint

That's why I was asking. I don't know any guy unless he's an in-sell that would be upset about it I mean, it's generally Cindy Swini looking awesome Meanwhile speaking of nakedness or it told me last break that apparently Martha Stewart had been waxing about doing Nudes day day on Instagram. What? Yeah, she claims that she's considering putting some nudes out on Instagram and I am We're good. We're set out the brand. I said I got brand in because brand is sent it to me and that's the first thing I said Please Martha. No He's no Martha Martha's back is she's no money. No, no, we don't we don't need five years of age 80 You know what there's a market for everything Carl is a niche for everything somewhere those guys who dig that data Well, that is true though. He's got a point. There are some people that that would that would fascinate them She was on the cover in 24. She was part of the swimsuit edition of SI. Yeah, I do remember that but But she don't have to do this. There's no need. No, that's all I'm saying we're convinced Yeah, I mean, Martha Stewart.
