the top story of today to sorry of the.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Well.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
Much like the Angels in a loss, both of our
football teams in Town Week twelve got an education. They
got an education in their loss about the separation between
playing good football. Separation education separation education about playing good
(03:40):
football versus playing championship level football. Chargers are ahead of schedule,
No Question seven and four meaningful games in December, very
realistic shot at the postseason. They're currently the sixth seed
in the Wild Card with a roster that had to
be purged of their top two wide receivers. They're starting
(04:01):
tight end, both starting linebackers. Because they were thirty five
forty million bucks over the cap. They signed a number
of veterans on one year prove it deals, hoping things
would click, and they have. They're starting their first, their second,
and two fifth round draft picks, playing at a solid
level of football infancy of their careers, and they're winning
games they should win. They went on the road. They've
(04:24):
built a foundation for the next few years. And I
think is Sean McVay year one from a four win
team too, and eleven win team.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
We didn't respect it. We did not.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
We called them out. We made fun of the coliseum.
We acted we were real a hole. We acted like children.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
We really did. They made the playoffs, they lost to
the Atlanta Falcons, a team that went to the Super
Bowl and blew a twenty eight to three league.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
We acted like that, over demonstrative Charger lady fan. That's
how we acted, Marianne. It's fair sweetly.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Shame on you, Mary Anne.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
The team that ram team would go to the Super
Bowl the very now next year, losing to the Patriots,
but they were there.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Last night.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
The Chargers, riding a four game win streak, had the
ball first, march down the field justin Herbert, perfect blend
run pass, rushed for a score.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Looked easy at that physical mix was that perfect man, unbreakable.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
There's something sexy about a couple sharing the set, soft
yet powerful, strong but sensual.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
That perfect mix.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
Oh there, it was, that perfect mix of run, pass, physicality,
good drive.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
It looked easy. It had an announcement attached to it.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Those early drives can be fools, gold Man.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
You're telling me we're here, We've arrived, We're ready for this.
And the defense backed them up. Back to back offensive
drives from the Ravens that went for twenty total offensive
yards with thirty yards of penalties. Chargers would out a
field goal. They're up ten to nothing, and man, it
was electric in the stadium. What a difference from twenty
(05:56):
eighteen when the Ravens came to town late in the year,
soccer stadium overrun with purple and black, a disappointing look
on the national stage. Last night, powder blues out in force, packed,
opposite of what it was in twenty eighteen. It was loud,
It felt like a moment. They're on Monday night football.
What a party. And after those first two drives, one
(06:18):
went for zero yards. The other five. Ravens woke up
their next five touchdown touchdown, field goal, touchdown, touchdown. Fortune
favors the bold, and John Harbaugh was bold, Yeah, they're
pretty good.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Chargers up ten seven at the two minute warning. On
a fourth and one from his own sixteen, he went
for a tush push with Mark Andrews two hundred and
sixty pounds, Derrick Henry two to forty, Patrick Rcard two seventy.
A crazy call, but a bold call. It worked, and
from there it just felt like things got a bit wobbly.
A couple touchdowns through the air on the ground. Next
thing you know, Derrick Henry is rushing for one hundred
(06:52):
and fifty yards on damn near ten per carry.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
The Chargers.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
Now they fought twenty five seconds left in the half
from their own thirty. They getting a field goal range.
Cam Dicker makes it a one point game. They trade
field goals to start the third, but it got away
from him. A couple fourth and ones for Baltimore went
for it. Derek Henry just falls forward over and over again.
Made it look easy, critical drops, bad penalty. Look They
(07:16):
were down two touchdowns, game out of reach. Halfway through
the fourth the trick for the Chargers moving forward after
experiencing championship level football. Don't lose twice. Don't lose to
the Ravens twice.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
You mean, don't let the Ravens beat you in Atlanta
this week, exactly right, p. Don't let your disappointment of
the Ravens game destroy your chances.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
It's a rough schedule, you know. Chargers play the last
game of the week on Monday night, and they got
to play one of the first games of the week
in Atlanta ten am Pacific with a Falcons team coming
off a bye, fourteen days of rest for the Falcons,
a ten am Pacific kick and the Chargers coming off
of Monday football. Don't let the Ravens beach it twice.
(08:04):
The rams hell of a run last year close of
the season, you look at a little bit closer, kind
of like the Raiders came thanks to a bit of
a soft spot in the schedule.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
One hell, didn't you just give them credit?
Speaker 6 (08:18):
Give them credit so wildly inspiring wild card contest that
they damn near knocked Detroit out in their own stadium.
This season, though started a mess one and four, they
rally to win three straight. Then they lose two to three,
starting to take its toll. Injuries have certainly come knocking
on their door. They had to reset their defensive line.
(08:41):
They're counting on two rookies to anchor the unit along
with a pair of second year players. Feels like it's
ahead of schedule, but with a banged up Cooper Cup,
a banged up Pook and a Coup, a few disappointing
free agent signings that are performing, an offensive line that
can't stay healthy to protect thirty six year old cal
them out of here, Stafford. What you saw on Sunday
(09:02):
night was a great.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Mad that they like Jared better than they like you
ever mad, I'm so mad about it.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
Yeah, it's an all right? Why did they like Jared
GoF so much? War that's hot jack? Vince hag went
suer ball?
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Did win say? Well? Cart Warren died and he was celerated.
Sorry since they last that many likes me as much
as Brenda Warner, So you got a hair.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
What you saw last night was a great story. Potential
wildcard team, well, I guess that would be the division
because of the way the division is currently working out.
But you know it's a coach and a quarterback that
could be dangerous if they make the playoffs, but they
got absolutely manhandled by a legitimate Super Bowl contender and
may have helped Saquon win the MVP. The defensive line
was run over, run through, run around, put on notice
(09:53):
that they are playing good football, but not playoff caliber football.
News for the Rams is the schedule good news, I
should say, maybe somewhat friendly. They still get to play
each of their division opponents one more time, so even
though they're five and six, you win those three games
and likely you win the division. Since they've already beat
Seattle up there would win the tiebreaker in Week eighteen,
(10:14):
and Seattle currently on top of the NFC West. They
have winnable games against the Saints and the Jets on
the road, so it is there for them to go
get But again, kind of find out what a team
is right around Thanksgiving. Not being able to keep up
with the speed of Miami, not being able to deal
(10:35):
with the physicality of Philadelphia a reminder team not quite
where they want to be due to youth, due to injury,
and needing better pieces up front on offense because not
isy socks.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
They carrying watch sick five ties. I beg his dock.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
So great stories, inspiring play from the youth. But when
you see the Eagles or the Ravens, two teams many
expect to be in the championship round this season, come
to town, it's a reminder. Yeah, maybe more of a
marathon than a sprint for each of these teams. Got
to write that ship. Shake off a loss, demoralizing loss
(11:18):
to teams that are further along in their process than
either of the Los Angeles squads right now, and that
then pe brings us to the picks two in one.
This past week, the Patriots could not deliver on my football.
Gods will not allow a head coach to say the
letters el to Max Crosby, prophecyl what the favorites did.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
We didn't have a play called lool. Max didn't even
have a play called lol. What a tool.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
The favorites did exactly what I suspected. So let's get
to the Thanksgiving Day contests here. Injury reports, uh, you know,
kind of.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Give you an idea.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
Who's gonna be playing, who's gonna not. Caleb is playing
better Little Flucky last week with an on side kick,
Otherwise the Vikings would have covered. But these spreads, they
gotta get back into check. Oh yeah, Matt, by the
look the Lions, they have taken care of me with
these ridiculous fourteen and a half eleven and a half
(12:19):
point spreads. They've been massive.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
The Bears have lost five straight, two of which inexcusable,
of course, the hail married to the Commanders and the
way they performed late against the Packers. But the block kick,
I mean, they righted the ship. And it's just hard
to lay ten points to an ok team. God awful team, yes,
decent team working through some things, rookie quarterback kind of stuff. No,
(12:45):
So I'll take the ten points. I will take the
Bears on Thanksgiving against the Lions in Detroit, even though
I would like to watch all my relatives freak the
hell out at Thanksgiving because the Bears are terrible and
they thought they were going to be great and they're
very upset right now.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
So you go to take the Bears.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
I'm going to take the Bears. I should probably try
to root along with them instead of being a complete
a hole and pulling for the Lions to cover Where
are your chargers gear? That's a good idea. You guys
should root for a real Cooper rush versus Tommy DeVito
or Drew Locke. If Tommy's hurt, nothing has changed. Giants
have thrown in the towel in Week twelve. The players
(13:24):
aren't playing for this front office. I'll gladly lay the
three and a half and take the Boys, who have
not won a game at home.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Yet this season.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
They have not won a game at the Dallas Palace
yet this season, and it will be Thanksgiving again. The
Giants want to lose, They need to lose. They want
to draft a new shiny toy quarterback to energize the
fan base that is apoplectic. Should or Sanders to malite
neighbors seems pretty damn exciting. So just mail in the
rest of the season, lose every game, lose it emphatically,
(13:55):
and get shador In Dion to show up in New York.
I hate the hook. I almost want to take the Dolphins.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Lol.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Helloow, we didn't have a play call, Lol. Max.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
They're a different team with Tua. They're a good team
with Tua. They're making a push. Might be a little
too late with the way they Chargers and Broncos are playing,
but I'm going to take the three and a half.
I'll lay it Green Bay. At kick, as you well know,
will be twenty six degrees. That is not Miami for Tua.
That is not a Wahu. So bundle up, put a
(14:33):
restrictor played on all that speed. This is a Packers
style contest, and I expect them to play Packers football.
Josh Jacobs three touchdowns on Sunday?
Speaker 3 (14:41):
What's Packers football?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Ah?
Speaker 3 (14:42):
And I run the hell out of the ball. Couple
of play action.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I thought it was like the analyst comes down in
fullates Aaron Rodgers or Farv.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
I thought that was the Packers football.
Speaker 6 (14:54):
You know what I think Packers football these days is
where is my gel? Matt Lafleur's hair is Packers football?
Somebody's gonna be plated. It's me, that's right. So I'll
lay the three and a half. I will lay the
three and a half two contest. I'm laying the three
and a half. The Cowboys to the Giants and the
Packers to the Dolphins, and I will take the points
in Detroit and the Chicago Bears get in ten. And
(15:17):
those are your three Thanksgiving pitch.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
For the week.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
All right, We'll continue with pro football and get to
Mark Sandtruth and the very next second, we'll talk I
see Notre Dame with him as well. Stay with us

to that every morning, get myself ready to rock.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Plan for a me.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
I appreciate you guys.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Happy Thanksgiving, plan for a mean Let them know how
valuable you are. You know, it's been fun watching football
all year and watching you call football. You end up
getting a lot of these LA teams, the Rams and
the NFC West especially, and it feels like you did
a bunch of their games last year too, where they
(17:28):
kind of start out slow and then they climb their
way out of the mud. Is it just kind of
the same deal this year. What are your impressions of that?
Speaker 7 (17:36):
Well, I think some of the turnover early on with
the offensive line left them struggling, and whether it was
you know, the two game suspension for Jackson, then note
Boom goes down, then Havenstegn goes down. So there's all
this turnover upfront and they can't quite get the run game,
(17:56):
and their run game identity established. So you see in
week two, you know, they get blown out by Arizona
and then they go through this period where they have
more stability and their production increases on offense at least,
and then they lose the receivers and then the receivers
come back. So they're they're riding these waves. No different
(18:18):
to the thirty one other teams, but they're specifically that
with part of their see some continuity with the lineup,
especially on offense, has really hindered them. You see the
other night, when they have full strength, they can be
competitive through most of the game, at least, you know,
with the guys they got. I think that young defense
(18:40):
is still figuring things out. That's a really really young
group that they've gotten some great production out of, especially
their two rookies and Fisk and Verse, the two kids
from Florida State, the pass rushers, along with Byron Young
and Kobe Turner both in their second year. I think
there's plenty of meat on the bone there. It's just
figuring out those secondary guys and how are they going
(19:00):
to fit in a lot of young talent. There a
lot of you know, very little time on task for
those guys to get their coverages, their man identification stuff,
their communication sound. So I think they're in the right
place now, but time is of the essence, and you
know this, Petro was like, both of you guys, you
know this second half of the season, this is where
(19:22):
you really got to You really got a crank and
crescendo as you as you enter the playoffs and get
on a heater here. They can't afford to drop many
more games.
Speaker 6 (19:32):
You're talking about it a little bit earlier, Mark, and
it almost feels like this week for both teams. For
the Rams on Sunday against the Eagles the Chargers last
night against the Ravens was hey, Rams are young, trying
to break in these new defensive players. They ran into
a championship caliber, a super Bowl caliber team, and that's
what it looked like the Chargers year one of Harbaugh
trying to churn this roster, managing a cap that was
(19:55):
forty million over looked great. You see a super Bowl
contender and it's just kind of what it looked. Do
you think it's just maybe reality for these two teams
that they can get into the postseason and maybe they
can win around. But when you come up against an
elite team. It's kind of what it looks like, oh.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
No doubt.
Speaker 7 (20:11):
And I think both of the teams they played. You
mentioned it that, you know, the Eagles, that's a potential
Final four type team, team potentially going to the Super Bowl.
Same with Baltimore. So when you measure them, the Chargers
and Rams against those teams, they're just a little bit
further behind. Whether it's talent, whether it's production, whatever it is,
(20:33):
they're a little bit behind those guys at this juncture,
which is okay, so long as you get into that tournament.
That's the beauty of this sport, in this league. If
you get in that postseason tournament, I don't care who
it is, because we went on the road multiple times
against teams that should have beat the brakes off us
when I was playing my first couple of years.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
And all you.
Speaker 7 (20:54):
Need is a chance. It's like that's blade tournament. All
you need is a chance, and you get one bounce,
a player goes down, you get your right tackle back,
you make the catch instead of dropping it like you
did in the game this past week or middle of
the season.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
You never know.
Speaker 7 (21:11):
So all you want is more at bats, more shots
on goal, more attempts right. So at this point, yes,
those other two teams, Baltimore and Philly, they look like
more of a finished product. But that doesn't mean and
Chargers can't hang with those guys later in the year,
especially with all these games left to play. You never
know what's gonna happen, and that's that's what keeps these
(21:32):
guys into it. But once again, they can't mess around
and drop some silly games here, especially in their own conference.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
You acknowledged that they're in your answer mark as a quarterback,
and Herbert, you know, took responsibility saying, hey, I could
have maybe put the balls in better places, but I
mean you saw it. You know what it looked like.
Four targets, four drops for Quinton. What's what's the right like,
what do you do as the quarterback to try to
get his head right? Because he was on a pretty
nice streak there, catching three touchdowns in a row, and
you know that looked an awful lot like last year
(21:59):
last night.
Speaker 7 (22:01):
No doubt, and obviously a regression for him. And whether
that's in his head or you know, whatever that is.
You know, shooters going slumps, hitters going slumps, Quarterbacks getting
slumps like receivers are no different, and that's just kind
of the way it goes. But you can't tell me
this kid is incapable of doing it, because he's now
(22:21):
put it on tape as you mentioned the last few
weeks before this game, this most recent game, so you
know it's there now. It's about getting him into the
right frame of mind to go execute that way. And
I thought the first thing you have to do is
inject confidence in him. Keep throwing him the ball, keep
(22:44):
giving him at bets and opportunities until you're ready to
turn the page right. And I don't think they're there yet.
He's only a year or two. You have plenty of
runway left with him, and so I think the most
important thing is you inject the confidence, which is keep
throwing him the ball. You say the right things publicly,
which justin Herbert the CEO presidential demeanor he's gonna do
and he did that, fell on the sword in the
(23:06):
in the press conference.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
Could he have thrown a couple better balls, sure, but
that's an NFL receiver. Did go cut the rock. So
he said the right things. Hey man, I got to
be better too. Well that's awesome because now he knows.
At least the receiver thinks, hey man, it's not all me.
Thanks for owning up to that. You know, we're a team.
We're going to figure this out, shared struggle, all that.
So then after that, it's okay, Now we got to
do it again this week, buddy. Let's let's figure out
(23:29):
ways to get him to touch the ball early, whether
that's hand him a fly sweep, throw him a you know,
a quick screen, something, just to get him in the
flow of the game so he's not so he doesn't
feel like he's iced out, you know, and it's really
a mental thing. A lot of that's between your ears.
And hopefully he turns it around because he's you know,
he's shown he can be a special player.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
The great Mark Sanchez. A lot of people talk about
Tom Brady. We're all about Mark Sanchez. I believe Mark
Sanchez has like a three on one record against Tom
Brady or something like that.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
No, no, no, it's not quite that good.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Three.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
Not a numbers guy.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Right now, there's wins in there, g dammit, I've seen them.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Uh, not a lot of wins in there for the
Raiders this year though, San Chico they need a quarterback. Uh,
they might need a coach.
Speaker 7 (24:20):
That's the truth.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
You know, that's the truth. What do you think is
could have happen? What do you think is gonna happen there?
And uh, I mean maybe Tom Brady goes into it.
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (24:29):
I mean my god owner and player, like Derek Fisher
coach and player.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Yeah, like uh Bill Russell.
Speaker 7 (24:39):
There we go. That's that's tough, man. I mean, they
brought in Minshew. You know, they weren't quite in the
position to potentially draft somebody like, uh, I don't know. Now,
now it looks like with O'Connell down and Minshew down,
like you're most likely draft in somebody. So are you
(25:02):
gonna draft that quarterback with the current regime and let
them play it out? Or do you make some wholesale
changes here and you know, start from square one again.
That's there's gonna be some big decisions to make in Vegas.
And that's you know, they had some serious momentum coming
into this year after last year, and it seemed to
(25:24):
seem to kind of fade on.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
Them to the amateur ranks. Mark, You're Alma mater usc
Notre Dame. One of the finest rivalries in all of sport,
regardless of that sports, and it's an opportunity for USC
to play spoiler. A lot of people point in Notre
Dame wondering why the playoff committee has so much respect
for a team that lost in Northern Illinois. Your thoughts
on the contest and your thoughts on the USC's possible,
(25:47):
the possibility that the Trojans could knock off the the
Irish and do the fifth best team in the sec
A favor and get them into the playoff.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
Oh, we got a shot for sure. I mean, I
think you watched the game last week. In some ways,
both teams tried to lose it a little bit, you know,
and we found a way to win. And that's that's
similar to to what we mentioned about these teams in
the playoffs. Like, even though you know this isn't for
(26:16):
SC to propel themselves into the playoffs, they can play
spoiler and it's a rival. You know, this is a
big deal and Petros knows this, but U C.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
L A and Notre Dame.
Speaker 7 (26:25):
You want to own those games, and this is this
is another shot. I definitely think there's an opportunity there
for these guys to make a statement, get some positive
momentum for recruiting and and finish off the year the
right way and figure out where they land when it
comes to bowls and all that kind of stuff. So
(26:46):
there's there's plenty of stuff to play for and most
importantly pride, pride in the school, pride in the uh,
the rivalry, and anytime you get a chance against the
Golden Domers, you want to you want to knock them out.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Well, bug you more about sc as the off season approaches.
The one and only Mark Sanchez, Ladies and gentlemen, where
are you this weekend?
Speaker 3 (27:06):

last hour. Big thank you to Mark Sanchez who joined us.
Everything could be podcast on the iHeartRadio app for your
smartphone or of course any other platform that you liked
(29:28):
the podcast. All right, Matt. We don't do this very often.
This is within our world television production legend today. Ninety
years old, he would have been Tony Verna. Tony Verna, Okay, producer,
director sports like Steve Gorman sports.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
It's not fed Steve Goban. He's coming out of Ay.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Trigger hippie. Born in Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Have you heard my sun shot? Play bass?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Verna was into production and became a sports television producer
in the very early years of live sports on TV
and Matt at the very young age of thirty, He
is credited with having invented instant replay.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Turns out that's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
First used by CBS Sports. He used it first in
the Army Navy game in nineteen sixty three.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Was there? No, you weren't, Yes, I was. I said,
let's go to the replay.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Tony Verna invented instant replay, and he was on that
game and he created it. He was also instrumental in
the use of cameras, program content, and creative interplay. So
basically a lot that goes into modern production of sports television,
which is no longer a million dollar industry. It is
(30:52):
in the billions and billions of dollars sports entertainment television.
He also created, produced, and directed Pope John Paul's billion
viewer TV special, A Prayer for World Peace. Not Impressed
he did live aid.
Speaker 6 (31:11):
I'm impressed by the Pope's billion person audience. He was
also the live aide Freddie Mercury. One of the great
live performances ever that was Verna.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
And he also was the president of Caesar's Palace Production.
So you go up to Caesar's in the top and
go see Verna sitting there smoking a cigarette with those
big DeNiro sunglasses on. And he had lots of famous
people friends Ronald Reagan, friend of one, friend of a
friend of Vernono, h W. Bush Fov, Grace, Kelly Fov, mother,
(31:46):
Teresa Fov.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
I heard they were sleeping together. Now, dare you that's Blashmobius.
Speaker 6 (31:52):
It is.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Burt Reynolds. Now he might have been sleeping with Burton again,
Mick Jagger, obviously.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Yes, they were sleeping, clearly.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Never see that video the streets, even Duke Ellington and
Kirk Douglas. I mean, this guy was friends with every
Everybody loved Vernon. He also authored several books, mostly on production.
One I Believe was on murder and he dial in
for Murder produced and that's a different director. He produced
and directed the Derby the Stanley Cup, Olympics, Battle of
(32:27):
the NFL Cheerleaders game show with Telly Savalas.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Oh Come On, Tied in Paul.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Desert at eighty one in twenty fifteen. The reason you
enjoy sports TV so much? Tony Vernon, Let's go to
the replay. I did it, I started it me. It's
on that, Gabe.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
The replay still didn't help you as far as you know,
getting the call right.
Speaker 7 (32:51):
It's right.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Then you had to wear it well.
Speaker 6 (32:53):
You have to wait, like, hey, we're gonna pause the
game for two minutes and then we're gonna go to
this replace.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Going to ride a bicycle back words to get the film.
Speaker 6 (33:01):
Back to they get Superman stop, he flies backwards. You're
a live guy, John McVie, poor John mcviee.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
Yeah, mcfee's, yeah, I really I don't like mcfee's. Every
year I had to wear it seventy nine today, I
just had to sit there and play those songs. It's
just not cool.
Speaker 6 (33:21):
Born West London, started playing the trumpet at an early age,
at fourteen, though he found a rock and roll jamming
on a guitar in the local bands. Familiar Story was
not as good of a guitar player as his pal,
so he's got to grab the bass. Left high school
at seventeen, working as attacks inspector by day, playing in
(33:44):
garage bands at night. The Crusaders spelled kri w sadyers
pretty sweet, right.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
I like that. I like it if it was kr
e w e Yes.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
Crew played cover songs, they did weddings, they did part
He was good enough player. They got a call from
John Mayall to join his Chicago blues band John Mayall.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
John Mayer No, No, the Blues Breakers, Sean Mayall.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
He stayed with the Taxes during the day, and he
played bass with the Blues Breakers for almost five years.
Despite no formal training, he got to be pretty good.
Clapton was in the Blues Breakers for a Minute and
Mick Fleetwood joined when their drummer left, and along with
Fleetwood and Peter Green mcvee quickly forged a triumphant a
personal relationship. They got studio time. They recorded an instrumental
(34:34):
that Green named Fleetwood Mac for Mick Fleetwood and John
macvie should be Fleetwood Mick Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
Probably uh. They started the band Fleetwood Mac.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
They got the Big Mac, We got the Big.
Speaker 6 (34:47):
Mick Yes mcnowels. September nineteen sixty seven. Their self titled
debut came out. The next year, Instant Hit went to
number four on the UK charts. They were rolling. Young
lady named Christine Perfect, playing a band called Chicken Shack.
Chicken has not Chicken foot like our friend Dave used
to play on Fridays in the office, dance on the
(35:07):
desk Chicken Shack Friday.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
You know.
Speaker 6 (35:11):
They would open for Fleetwood Mac from time to time.
John and she were romantically involved.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
They were married.
Speaker 6 (35:16):
When Peter Green left Fleetwood Mac in seventy he convinced
Christine to join take his place. Their marriage fell apart
in seventy six while they were recording Rumors Perfect Time.
By the way, that's why it's such an incredible album,
all that tumult mcvee writing songs. She wrote don't stop
for John. John wrote this the chain for her. John
(35:39):
your Sen's a drunk. Well, John was a drunk.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
Wow, that'll help.
Speaker 6 (35:44):
Took an alcohol and do seizure for him to stop
in eighty seven. Colon Cancer Survivor Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame in eighty eight and he's still playing.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
It's seventy nine. John McPhie from Fleetwood Mick, what was

the top story of today to sorry of the.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Well.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
Much like the Angels in a loss, both of our
football teams in Town Week twelve got an education. They
got an education in their loss about the separation between
playing good football. Separation education separation education about playing good
(03:40):
football versus playing championship level football. Chargers are ahead of schedule,
No Question seven and four meaningful games in December, very
realistic shot at the postseason. They're currently the sixth seed
in the Wild Card with a roster that had to
be purged of their top two wide receivers. They're starting
(04:01):
tight end, both starting linebackers. Because they were thirty five
forty million bucks over the cap. They signed a number
of veterans on one year prove it deals, hoping things
would click, and they have. They're starting their first, their second,
and two fifth round draft picks, playing at a solid
level of football infancy of their careers, and they're winning
games they should win. They went on the road. They've
(04:24):
built a foundation for the next few years. And I
think is Sean McVay year one from a four win
team too, and eleven win team.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
We didn't respect it. We did not.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
We called them out. We made fun of the coliseum.
We acted we were real a hole. We acted like children.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
We really did. They made the playoffs, they lost to
the Atlanta Falcons, a team that went to the Super
Bowl and blew a twenty eight to three league.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
We acted like that, over demonstrative Charger lady fan. That's
how we acted, Marianne. It's fair sweetly.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Shame on you, Mary Anne.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
The team that ram team would go to the Super
Bowl the very now next year, losing to the Patriots,
but they were there.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Last night.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
The Chargers, riding a four game win streak, had the
ball first, march down the field justin Herbert, perfect blend
run pass, rushed for a score.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Looked easy at that physical mix was that perfect man, unbreakable.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
There's something sexy about a couple sharing the set, soft
yet powerful, strong but sensual.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
That perfect mix.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
Oh there, it was, that perfect mix of run, pass, physicality,
good drive.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
It looked easy. It had an announcement attached to it.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Those early drives can be fools, gold Man.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
You're telling me we're here, We've arrived, We're ready for this.
And the defense backed them up. Back to back offensive
drives from the Ravens that went for twenty total offensive
yards with thirty yards of penalties. Chargers would out a
field goal. They're up ten to nothing, and man, it
was electric in the stadium. What a difference from twenty
(05:56):
eighteen when the Ravens came to town late in the year,
soccer stadium overrun with purple and black, a disappointing look
on the national stage. Last night, powder blues out in force, packed,
opposite of what it was in twenty eighteen. It was loud,
It felt like a moment. They're on Monday night football.
What a party. And after those first two drives, one
(06:18):
went for zero yards. The other five. Ravens woke up
their next five touchdown touchdown, field goal, touchdown, touchdown. Fortune
favors the bold, and John Harbaugh was bold, Yeah, they're
pretty good.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Chargers up ten seven at the two minute warning. On
a fourth and one from his own sixteen, he went
for a tush push with Mark Andrews two hundred and
sixty pounds, Derrick Henry two to forty, Patrick Rcard two seventy.
A crazy call, but a bold call. It worked, and
from there it just felt like things got a bit wobbly.
A couple touchdowns through the air on the ground. Next
thing you know, Derrick Henry is rushing for one hundred
(06:52):
and fifty yards on damn near ten per carry.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
The Chargers.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
Now they fought twenty five seconds left in the half
from their own thirty. They getting a field goal range.
Cam Dicker makes it a one point game. They trade
field goals to start the third, but it got away
from him. A couple fourth and ones for Baltimore went
for it. Derek Henry just falls forward over and over again.
Made it look easy, critical drops, bad penalty. Look They
(07:16):
were down two touchdowns, game out of reach. Halfway through
the fourth the trick for the Chargers moving forward after
experiencing championship level football. Don't lose twice. Don't lose to
the Ravens twice.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
You mean, don't let the Ravens beat you in Atlanta
this week, exactly right, p. Don't let your disappointment of
the Ravens game destroy your chances.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
It's a rough schedule, you know. Chargers play the last
game of the week on Monday night, and they got
to play one of the first games of the week
in Atlanta ten am Pacific with a Falcons team coming
off a bye, fourteen days of rest for the Falcons,
a ten am Pacific kick and the Chargers coming off
of Monday football. Don't let the Ravens beach it twice.
(08:04):
The rams hell of a run last year close of
the season, you look at a little bit closer, kind
of like the Raiders came thanks to a bit of
a soft spot in the schedule.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
One hell, didn't you just give them credit?
Speaker 6 (08:18):
Give them credit so wildly inspiring wild card contest that
they damn near knocked Detroit out in their own stadium.
This season, though started a mess one and four, they
rally to win three straight. Then they lose two to three,
starting to take its toll. Injuries have certainly come knocking
on their door. They had to reset their defensive line.
(08:41):
They're counting on two rookies to anchor the unit along
with a pair of second year players. Feels like it's
ahead of schedule, but with a banged up Cooper Cup,
a banged up Pook and a Coup, a few disappointing
free agent signings that are performing, an offensive line that
can't stay healthy to protect thirty six year old cal
them out of here, Stafford. What you saw on Sunday
(09:02):
night was a great.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Mad that they like Jared better than they like you
ever mad, I'm so mad about it.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
Yeah, it's an all right? Why did they like Jared
GoF so much? War that's hot jack? Vince hag went
suer ball?
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Did win say? Well? Cart Warren died and he was celerated.
Sorry since they last that many likes me as much
as Brenda Warner, So you got a hair.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
What you saw last night was a great story. Potential
wildcard team, well, I guess that would be the division
because of the way the division is currently working out.
But you know it's a coach and a quarterback that
could be dangerous if they make the playoffs, but they
got absolutely manhandled by a legitimate Super Bowl contender and
may have helped Saquon win the MVP. The defensive line
was run over, run through, run around, put on notice
(09:53):
that they are playing good football, but not playoff caliber football.
News for the Rams is the schedule good news, I
should say, maybe somewhat friendly. They still get to play
each of their division opponents one more time, so even
though they're five and six, you win those three games
and likely you win the division. Since they've already beat
Seattle up there would win the tiebreaker in Week eighteen,
(10:14):
and Seattle currently on top of the NFC West. They
have winnable games against the Saints and the Jets on
the road, so it is there for them to go
get But again, kind of find out what a team
is right around Thanksgiving. Not being able to keep up
with the speed of Miami, not being able to deal
(10:35):
with the physicality of Philadelphia a reminder team not quite
where they want to be due to youth, due to injury,
and needing better pieces up front on offense because not
isy socks.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
They carrying watch sick five ties. I beg his dock.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
So great stories, inspiring play from the youth. But when
you see the Eagles or the Ravens, two teams many
expect to be in the championship round this season, come
to town, it's a reminder. Yeah, maybe more of a
marathon than a sprint for each of these teams. Got
to write that ship. Shake off a loss, demoralizing loss
(11:18):
to teams that are further along in their process than
either of the Los Angeles squads right now, and that
then pe brings us to the picks two in one.
This past week, the Patriots could not deliver on my football.
Gods will not allow a head coach to say the
letters el to Max Crosby, prophecyl what the favorites did.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
We didn't have a play called lool. Max didn't even
have a play called lol. What a tool.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
The favorites did exactly what I suspected. So let's get
to the Thanksgiving Day contests here. Injury reports, uh, you know,
kind of.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Give you an idea.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
Who's gonna be playing, who's gonna not. Caleb is playing
better Little Flucky last week with an on side kick,
Otherwise the Vikings would have covered. But these spreads, they
gotta get back into check. Oh yeah, Matt, by the
look the Lions, they have taken care of me with
these ridiculous fourteen and a half eleven and a half
(12:19):
point spreads. They've been massive.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
The Bears have lost five straight, two of which inexcusable,
of course, the hail married to the Commanders and the
way they performed late against the Packers. But the block kick,
I mean, they righted the ship. And it's just hard
to lay ten points to an ok team. God awful team, yes,
decent team working through some things, rookie quarterback kind of stuff. No,
(12:45):
So I'll take the ten points. I will take the
Bears on Thanksgiving against the Lions in Detroit, even though
I would like to watch all my relatives freak the
hell out at Thanksgiving because the Bears are terrible and
they thought they were going to be great and they're
very upset right now.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
So you go to take the Bears.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
I'm going to take the Bears. I should probably try
to root along with them instead of being a complete
a hole and pulling for the Lions to cover Where
are your chargers gear? That's a good idea. You guys
should root for a real Cooper rush versus Tommy DeVito
or Drew Locke. If Tommy's hurt, nothing has changed. Giants
have thrown in the towel in Week twelve. The players
(13:24):
aren't playing for this front office. I'll gladly lay the
three and a half and take the Boys, who have
not won a game at home.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Yet this season.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
They have not won a game at the Dallas Palace
yet this season, and it will be Thanksgiving again. The
Giants want to lose, They need to lose. They want
to draft a new shiny toy quarterback to energize the
fan base that is apoplectic. Should or Sanders to malite
neighbors seems pretty damn exciting. So just mail in the
rest of the season, lose every game, lose it emphatically,
(13:55):
and get shador In Dion to show up in New York.
I hate the hook. I almost want to take the Dolphins.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Lol.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Helloow, we didn't have a play call, Lol. Max.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
They're a different team with Tua. They're a good team
with Tua. They're making a push. Might be a little
too late with the way they Chargers and Broncos are playing,
but I'm going to take the three and a half.
I'll lay it Green Bay. At kick, as you well know,
will be twenty six degrees. That is not Miami for Tua.
That is not a Wahu. So bundle up, put a
(14:33):
restrictor played on all that speed. This is a Packers
style contest, and I expect them to play Packers football.
Josh Jacobs three touchdowns on Sunday?
Speaker 3 (14:41):
What's Packers football?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Ah?
Speaker 3 (14:42):
And I run the hell out of the ball. Couple
of play action.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I thought it was like the analyst comes down in
fullates Aaron Rodgers or Farv.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
I thought that was the Packers football.
Speaker 6 (14:54):
You know what I think Packers football these days is
where is my gel? Matt Lafleur's hair is Packers football?
Somebody's gonna be plated. It's me, that's right. So I'll
lay the three and a half. I will lay the
three and a half two contest. I'm laying the three
and a half. The Cowboys to the Giants and the
Packers to the Dolphins, and I will take the points
in Detroit and the Chicago Bears get in ten. And
(15:17):
those are your three Thanksgiving pitch.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
For the week.
Speaker 2 (15:19):

(16:22):

Dealer Celebrity hotline, the great Mark Sanchez joining us.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Mark, How are you?
Thanks for joining us?
Speaker 7 (16:56):
So I'm doing awesome. So thanks for that amazing intro
man that always fires me up. I need to listen
to that every morning, get myself ready to rock.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Plan for a me.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
I appreciate you guys.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Happy Thanksgiving, plan for a mean Let them know how
valuable you are. You know, it's been fun watching football
all year and watching you call football. You end up
getting a lot of these LA teams, the Rams and
the NFC West especially, and it feels like you did
a bunch of their games last year too, where they
(17:28):
kind of start out slow and then they climb their
way out of the mud. Is it just kind of
the same deal this year. What are your impressions of that?
Speaker 7 (17:36):
Well, I think some of the turnover early on with
the offensive line left them struggling, and whether it was
you know, the two game suspension for Jackson, then note
Boom goes down, then Havenstegn goes down. So there's all
this turnover upfront and they can't quite get the run game,
(17:56):
and their run game identity established. So you see in
week two, you know, they get blown out by Arizona
and then they go through this period where they have
more stability and their production increases on offense at least,
and then they lose the receivers and then the receivers
come back. So they're they're riding these waves. No different
(18:18):
to the thirty one other teams, but they're specifically that
with part of their see some continuity with the lineup,
especially on offense, has really hindered them. You see the
other night, when they have full strength, they can be
competitive through most of the game, at least, you know,
with the guys they got. I think that young defense
(18:40):
is still figuring things out. That's a really really young
group that they've gotten some great production out of, especially
their two rookies and Fisk and Verse, the two kids
from Florida State, the pass rushers, along with Byron Young
and Kobe Turner both in their second year. I think
there's plenty of meat on the bone there. It's just
figuring out those secondary guys and how are they going
(19:00):
to fit in a lot of young talent. There a
lot of you know, very little time on task for
those guys to get their coverages, their man identification stuff,
their communication sound. So I think they're in the right
place now, but time is of the essence, and you
know this, Petro was like, both of you guys, you
know this second half of the season, this is where
(19:22):
you really got to You really got a crank and
crescendo as you as you enter the playoffs and get
on a heater here. They can't afford to drop many
more games.
Speaker 6 (19:32):
You're talking about it a little bit earlier, Mark, and
it almost feels like this week for both teams. For
the Rams on Sunday against the Eagles the Chargers last
night against the Ravens was hey, Rams are young, trying
to break in these new defensive players. They ran into
a championship caliber, a super Bowl caliber team, and that's
what it looked like the Chargers year one of Harbaugh
trying to churn this roster, managing a cap that was
(19:55):
forty million over looked great. You see a super Bowl
contender and it's just kind of what it looked. Do
you think it's just maybe reality for these two teams
that they can get into the postseason and maybe they
can win around. But when you come up against an
elite team. It's kind of what it looks like, oh.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
No doubt.
Speaker 7 (20:11):
And I think both of the teams they played. You
mentioned it that, you know, the Eagles, that's a potential
Final four type team, team potentially going to the Super Bowl.
Same with Baltimore. So when you measure them, the Chargers
and Rams against those teams, they're just a little bit
further behind. Whether it's talent, whether it's production, whatever it is,
(20:33):
they're a little bit behind those guys at this juncture,
which is okay, so long as you get into that tournament.
That's the beauty of this sport, in this league. If
you get in that postseason tournament, I don't care who
it is, because we went on the road multiple times
against teams that should have beat the brakes off us
when I was playing my first couple of years.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
And all you.
Speaker 7 (20:54):
Need is a chance. It's like that's blade tournament. All
you need is a chance, and you get one bounce,
a player goes down, you get your right tackle back,
you make the catch instead of dropping it like you
did in the game this past week or middle of
the season.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
You never know.
Speaker 7 (21:11):
So all you want is more at bats, more shots
on goal, more attempts right. So at this point, yes,
those other two teams, Baltimore and Philly, they look like
more of a finished product. But that doesn't mean and
Chargers can't hang with those guys later in the year,
especially with all these games left to play. You never
know what's gonna happen, and that's that's what keeps these
(21:32):
guys into it. But once again, they can't mess around
and drop some silly games here, especially in their own conference.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
You acknowledged that they're in your answer mark as a quarterback,
and Herbert, you know, took responsibility saying, hey, I could
have maybe put the balls in better places, but I
mean you saw it. You know what it looked like.
Four targets, four drops for Quinton. What's what's the right like,
what do you do as the quarterback to try to
get his head right? Because he was on a pretty
nice streak there, catching three touchdowns in a row, and
you know that looked an awful lot like last year
(21:59):
last night.
Speaker 7 (22:01):
No doubt, and obviously a regression for him. And whether
that's in his head or you know, whatever that is.
You know, shooters going slumps, hitters going slumps, Quarterbacks getting
slumps like receivers are no different, and that's just kind
of the way it goes. But you can't tell me
this kid is incapable of doing it, because he's now
(22:21):
put it on tape as you mentioned the last few
weeks before this game, this most recent game, so you
know it's there now. It's about getting him into the
right frame of mind to go execute that way. And
I thought the first thing you have to do is
inject confidence in him. Keep throwing him the ball, keep
(22:44):
giving him at bets and opportunities until you're ready to
turn the page right. And I don't think they're there yet.
He's only a year or two. You have plenty of
runway left with him, and so I think the most
important thing is you inject the confidence, which is keep
throwing him the ball. You say the right things publicly,
which justin Herbert the CEO presidential demeanor he's gonna do
and he did that, fell on the sword in the
(23:06):
in the press conference.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
Could he have thrown a couple better balls, sure, but
that's an NFL receiver. Did go cut the rock. So
he said the right things. Hey man, I got to
be better too. Well that's awesome because now he knows.
At least the receiver thinks, hey man, it's not all me.
Thanks for owning up to that. You know, we're a team.
We're going to figure this out, shared struggle, all that.
So then after that, it's okay, Now we got to
do it again this week, buddy. Let's let's figure out
(23:29):
ways to get him to touch the ball early, whether
that's hand him a fly sweep, throw him a you know,
a quick screen, something, just to get him in the
flow of the game so he's not so he doesn't
feel like he's iced out, you know, and it's really
a mental thing. A lot of that's between your ears.
And hopefully he turns it around because he's you know,
he's shown he can be a special player.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
The great Mark Sanchez. A lot of people talk about
Tom Brady. We're all about Mark Sanchez. I believe Mark
Sanchez has like a three on one record against Tom
Brady or something like that.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
No, no, no, it's not quite that good.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Three.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
Not a numbers guy.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Right now, there's wins in there, g dammit, I've seen them.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Uh, not a lot of wins in there for the
Raiders this year though, San Chico they need a quarterback. Uh,
they might need a coach.
Speaker 7 (24:20):
That's the truth.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
You know, that's the truth. What do you think is
could have happen? What do you think is gonna happen there?
And uh, I mean maybe Tom Brady goes into it.
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (24:29):
I mean my god owner and player, like Derek Fisher
coach and player.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Yeah, like uh Bill Russell.
Speaker 7 (24:39):
There we go. That's that's tough, man. I mean, they
brought in Minshew. You know, they weren't quite in the
position to potentially draft somebody like, uh, I don't know. Now,
now it looks like with O'Connell down and Minshew down,
like you're most likely draft in somebody. So are you
(25:02):
gonna draft that quarterback with the current regime and let
them play it out? Or do you make some wholesale
changes here and you know, start from square one again.
That's there's gonna be some big decisions to make in Vegas.
And that's you know, they had some serious momentum coming
into this year after last year, and it seemed to
(25:24):
seem to kind of fade on.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
Them to the amateur ranks. Mark, You're Alma mater usc
Notre Dame. One of the finest rivalries in all of sport,
regardless of that sports, and it's an opportunity for USC
to play spoiler. A lot of people point in Notre
Dame wondering why the playoff committee has so much respect
for a team that lost in Northern Illinois. Your thoughts
on the contest and your thoughts on the USC's possible,
(25:47):
the possibility that the Trojans could knock off the the
Irish and do the fifth best team in the sec
A favor and get them into the playoff.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
Oh, we got a shot for sure. I mean, I
think you watched the game last week. In some ways,
both teams tried to lose it a little bit, you know,
and we found a way to win. And that's that's
similar to to what we mentioned about these teams in
the playoffs. Like, even though you know this isn't for
(26:16):
SC to propel themselves into the playoffs, they can play
spoiler and it's a rival. You know, this is a
big deal and Petros knows this, but U C.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
L A and Notre Dame.
Speaker 7 (26:25):
You want to own those games, and this is this
is another shot. I definitely think there's an opportunity there
for these guys to make a statement, get some positive
momentum for recruiting and and finish off the year the
right way and figure out where they land when it
comes to bowls and all that kind of stuff. So
(26:46):
there's there's plenty of stuff to play for and most
importantly pride, pride in the school, pride in the uh,
the rivalry, and anytime you get a chance against the
Golden Domers, you want to you want to knock them out.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Well, bug you more about sc as the off season approaches.
The one and only Mark Sanchez, Ladies and gentlemen, where
are you this weekend?
Speaker 3 (27:06):
San Cheeto?
Speaker 7 (27:08):

lost to Northern Illinois, but you think usc is gonna
stop that.

the ball.

Everything could be podcast on the iHeartRadio app for your
smartphone or of course any other platform that you liked
(29:28):
the podcast. All right, Matt. We don't do this very often.
This is within our world television production legend today. Ninety
years old, he would have been Tony Verna. Tony Verna, Okay, producer,
director sports like Steve Gorman sports.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
It's not fed Steve Goban. He's coming out of Ay.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Trigger hippie. Born in Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Have you heard my sun shot? Play bass?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Verna was into production and became a sports television producer
in the very early years of live sports on TV
and Matt at the very young age of thirty, He
is credited with having invented instant replay.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Turns out that's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
First used by CBS Sports. He used it first in
the Army Navy game in nineteen sixty three.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Was there? No, you weren't, Yes, I was. I said,
let's go to the replay.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Tony Verna invented instant replay, and he was on that
game and he created it. He was also instrumental in
the use of cameras, program content, and creative interplay. So
basically a lot that goes into modern production of sports television,
which is no longer a million dollar industry. It is
(30:52):
in the billions and billions of dollars sports entertainment television.
He also created, produced, and directed Pope John Paul's billion
viewer TV special, A Prayer for World Peace. Not Impressed
he did live aid.
Speaker 6 (31:11):
I'm impressed by the Pope's billion person audience. He was
also the live aide Freddie Mercury. One of the great
live performances ever that was Verna.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
And he also was the president of Caesar's Palace Production.
So you go up to Caesar's in the top and
go see Verna sitting there smoking a cigarette with those
big DeNiro sunglasses on. And he had lots of famous
people friends Ronald Reagan, friend of one, friend of a
friend of Vernono, h W. Bush Fov, Grace, Kelly Fov, mother,
(31:46):
Teresa Fov.

Never see that video the streets, even Duke Ellington and
Kirk Douglas. I mean, this guy was friends with every
Everybody loved Vernon. He also authored several books, mostly on production.
One I Believe was on murder and he dial in
for Murder produced and that's a different director. He produced
and directed the Derby the Stanley Cup, Olympics, Battle of
(32:27):
the NFL Cheerleaders game show with Telly Savalas.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Oh Come On, Tied in Paul.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Desert at eighty one in twenty fifteen. The reason you
enjoy sports TV so much? Tony Vernon, Let's go to
the replay. I did it, I started it me. It's
on that, Gabe.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
The replay still didn't help you as far as you know,
getting the call right.
Speaker 7 (32:51):
It's right.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Then you had to wear it well.
Speaker 6 (32:53):
You have to wait, like, hey, we're gonna pause the

just not cool.
Speaker 6 (33:21):
Born West London, started playing the trumpet at an early age,
at fourteen, though he found a rock and roll jamming
on a guitar in the local bands. Familiar Story was
not as good of a guitar player as his pal,
so he's got to grab the bass. Left high school
at seventeen, working as attacks inspector by day, playing in
(33:44):
garage bands at night. The Crusaders spelled kri w sadyers

Uh.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
He stayed with the Taxes during the day, and he
played bass with the Blues Breakers for almost five years.
Despite no formal training, he got to be pretty good.
Clapton was in the Blues Breakers for a Minute and
Mick Fleetwood joined when their drummer left, and along with
Fleetwood and Peter Green mcvee quickly forged a triumphant a
personal relationship. They got studio time. They recorded an instrumental

They were married.
Speaker 6 (35:16):
When Peter Green left Fleetwood Mac in seventy he convinced
Christine to join take his place. Their marriage fell apart
in seventy six while they were recording Rumors Perfect Time.
By the way, that's why it's such an incredible album,
all that tumult mcvee writing songs. She wrote don't stop
