1:07You haven't been tested. Our minds, bodies and spirits have been in hell since Halloween. You're walking into an asylum. Damn levitars. Tell me the big game that a Mario crystal ball coach team has not shown up for. Since he's been at Miami, I double dog there you. I think they're actually going to be shocked at how not home game. This is going to feel for Indiana. They thought that they were going to fly into this home because no one will be playing into the Miami fan. It's crazy. And they're going to be hidden the mouth by not just a football team, but by the crowd. The same folks picking you have been pouring dirt on our grave for two and a half months. We're still standing. Miami's going to average at least four yards of rush. Miami matches up really well here. I think Miami's going to go on 14 play drives. I think Miami's going to lean on these guys. They present a match a problem that they haven't really encountered. And I think we're going to see a team wear out over the course of the game. I think Stahls make fights and this is a really good match up.

2:11And it's going to be a difficult one for Indiana, I think. I think Indiana is going to know right away they're in for a fight. And I think Miami wins. Go Kings. We're forged in fire and been fighting for our lives longer than you've mattered. See you in a week. Spot the goddamn ball. All right, I say bye. I will be beating it. The number six. Go Kings. How do I get put in the parade of gas bags just reading a quote from Mike Ryan? None of those were my words. None of them. You said it. It's unfair. Jeremy, you were secretly delighted last night, weren't you secretly? Midway through the second quarter, he's like, I'm going to get going on the montage. Greg, do you have a back in my day? It's Tuesday. Oh, no, I just didn't have time up and a little busy lately. Can you guys get me as much Ralph Bonerska information as you can here? So I'll get hold on. Let's rewind this for a second. Who are these people? They're Ralph Bonerska? It's Uwe von Schommann and Ralph Bonerska. Uwe von Schommann.

3:12Dig up a picture of Uwe von Schommann. He was quite a looker. That was a professional athlete. You have to keep in mind as you stared his bald head. Is it Ralph or Ralph? Ralph. Oh, hell yeah. Ralph? Ralph. Let's go. Can you find out for me the why he was hosting Wheel of Fortune was Pat Sejek on strike? What was happening that made Ralph Bonerska be the host of Wheel of Fortune for a very brief period of time? It was a very strange thing and I'd like as much information on this as you guys can get me. Passion project. Is everyone just going to look at me and no one's going to look this up? Because I'm sure it's not that hard to find. However it is that that Ralph Bonerska he didn't host for very long. Incidentally here. R-O-L-F-F. I think it's just one F. One F. Yeah. I was remiss in not mentioning this yesterday. So forgive me for this. Pleant. All sort of collitis. Good for him. Inspirational story.

4:12Forgive me for not mentioning this yesterday. Stu Gotz returned to live radio yesterday 3 to 5 Eastern Fox Sports Radio on 270 affiliates. You should check out Stu Gotz and company. He is building out an empire and he's going back to his first love. I've expected him here for months. I don't know why he's not here. Hopefully we'll get some clarity on that soon. We do not have clarity. I expected him back this month. Tony, what did you find on Ralph Bonerska? So in 1989 he hosted Wheel of Fortune for a short period while Pat Sejack left to do a version of his own late night TV show about six months worth of Wheel of Fortune for Ralph Bernersky. Can you guys imagine that? I don't even know. I really don't know who I can put as a kicker in the modern game with a funnier name as the host of the random host of Wheel of Fortune, Janikowski, then Ralph Bonerska.

5:18If people know who's a kicker, they're like, oh, that guy, I know who he is. No. No. Who's the smell? If you think kickers are not famous now, I had an idea actually. I didn't pose it yesterday and I meant to. I really failed in this regard. Xavier Lucas was out for the first half of the game yesterday because of the targeting called in the previous game and given the general anonymity of football players inside the uniform, I was actually thinking, what if they just put Xavier Lucas in another uniform and didn't tell anybody that it was Xavier Lucas and everybody like, we holy shit, that guy. Who is that guy? Just put him in a different uniform that no one has seen play all season and don't tell anybody. Adicus Sappington. Oh, that name I've heard. That guy's nice. Yeah. Yeah. Sappington. What a name. Adicus. I love that guy. Lucy, the game last night, because one of the things that was most wrong, that we got

6:19most wrong around here is, wasn't really a home game for Miami in terms of the feeling and the energy of the crowd, right? Yeah. I feel like I said that I thought there would be a lot of Indiana fans. To me, we were up top, so we got to kind of see the overhead. It looked like 60-40. I did not expect this to be 50-50 was probably closer to what, maybe I thought it would be, but I never expected it to feel entirely Miami because the thing with Indiana fans is one that they have a wealthy alumni base, they have a top 10 business school, also they've never been here before. Why would you not splurge and get this ticket? I thought it was a great crowd. I think it was interesting of walking around the stadium before the game. You could feel the difference in the sections where Miami was, there was an intensity to it of just like kind of knowing how much this game meant and whatever. And Indiana was like, we're just here and this is awesome and life is great. It was very different vibes. Look at Tony back there. He will never forgive Roy Bellamy. I don't know if there's anything that we've taken from today more than Tony promising

7:20us that 60 years from now, he will still not have arrived at forgiveness for Roy Bellamy forever. Never. I said never. I will never forgive him. I will never forgive that face, Dan. As the balls in the air and all of a sudden number 22 is intercepting it. And I'm just thinking interceptions coming here and I'm like, I'm going to never forgive him. Do you guys, I don't know if you find it funny, but do you find it interesting in the way that history forgets the details that you may remember going forward the way that that game ended and it'll stick to Carson back forever that he's got six losses in college football and four of them. He had the chance to win at the end and throw an interception. But the fact that very possibly he was concussed and he's telling you my ears were ringing. Okay. I'm taking snaps and it's not crowd noise. It's not anything else. The fact that history will forget that in that moment you've got a quarterback who's quite possibly impaired, making a decision that ends up being a totally wrong decision

8:21to make you do not throw to that receiver in double coverage in that spot. Marion took the blame for that, which I, I don't even know what he's doing there. Like he said, he never saw the ball and that he's supposed to go and contest the play. Quite as it's kept, Pukinakua got the Rams to advance because he played defense on a throw that would have been intercepted against Caroline, I said that interception was all on him. Marion said the interception was all on him, but I, I, how do you do this? We're, we're famously bad at concussion talk. We become doctors and we do diagnoses. But when on second and 15, you're getting the penalty that is showing you on video, he's hit the back of his head there on the turf and now he tells you his ears are ringing. That's an impaired quarterback and I, I wonder whether those details matter at all. They don't, right? History forgets all of them. Yeah. I, I think it matters in the immediacy if Carson Beck admits that he may have been losing the world. But he kind of did. He was woozy. He doesn't have to admit it.

9:21The way he got up made it obvious. And everybody was like, let's still roll with concuss Carson Beck. Spoiler alert. Yes. If the Patriots go on to win the Super Bowl, it will be a footnote that they beat the backup of the Broncos to get to that Super Bowl. Oh, well, let's talk about this for a second. It's not just merely that they've had the easiest schedule, which the Patriots did this year. Go look at just their, that the history of good fortune here that they've had the entirety of the season, which is nuts, but all of that stuff gets forgotten. Nobody, nobody cares at the end if it's an imperfect measurement system. It doesn't matter. I'm just counting what Diana Rossini said on this show earlier today. I think that that that the Broncos now have more incentive than they did if that's possible. I think the defense is good enough. I think New England is overrated enough based on their schedule. It wouldn't shock me in the least for Denver at home minus five or plus five and a half to win that game. I'd be pretty surprised. I mean, it would be shocking. It really I don't think it would be. It will definitely come up as a factor that I think is one of the most overrated things

10:22mentioned in sports. The advantage that Denver teams have at home, oh, it's the thin air up there. Then why don't they all go undefeated? Why don't they all have remarkable home records? They don't spoil alert once again. I don't think that's how spoiler alerts work. I don't think that I was spoiling you looking up their, their, their records to disprove my point. I am right. I'm kind of them went undefeated at home and then he gave it like eight and one at home. I could be wrong. That's something. I'm talking about the nuggets in the abs. You get my larger point in the what? Can I jump in real fast? If you think you've got the boldest take of the week, we want to bring that segment back. Proof it. Call three oh five four eight six gots also per Jeff Passon. The Miami Marlins are acquiring right hander Bradley Blaylock from the Colorado Rockies for a liner league pitcher. Blaylock was DFA by the Rockies last week. This will give Miami additional pitching depth after trading away Edward Cabrera and Ryan

11:23Weathers. I'm still confused by what happened on that phone call between Barkley and his book. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know.
