on Colorado Sports leader, the team. Hey, the clock appreciation joining us. I'm Jim along with cake from the Bose Art Miller Chevrolet Duke studios, the most trusted name in automobiles. It's Apache Friday.
So I'm starting with some of you. Another really, really, really hot weekend. This is course ya. So after it seemed like the Rockies weren't going to trade under Goodman now, there's Ken Rosenthaw says, yeah, there's a chance that they might trade under Goodman.
And even might be the team that's coming in Monday, the Tampa Bay Rays. Under Goodman, back to back all star. 31 home runs last year. During the season, they already has 31 this year.
One of the better offensive catchers in baseball, both home and on the road. Great, an ABS. Bitch framing not so much. Feels like a foundational guy, a guy you don't want to get rid of.
Someone you can build around. But if you can get a top prospect in baseball for him and others, is that worth considering? Your reaction to that today, Kyle, love to hear from you. On the ConWest team line, 970-213-1340.
We still do not have a correct answer for Wrigley Field Trivia. Because Jay Cutler Mitchell is wrong. So here's the question once again. It's Wrigley Field, Colorado Sports Trivia.
Who was the first Brockham's quarterback to finish a season minimum of 200 passes with a passer rating higher than 100? It's not Bobby Brister. It's not Jay Cutler. Tell us who it is.
Who was the first Brockham's quarterback to finish a season minimum of 200 passes with a passer rating higher than 100? Trying to give a clue here without giving a clue. Brockham's fans have had a complicated relationship with how he with how they, I guess, perceived just perceived by the fan base. Because he had big shoes to fill.
Gigantic shoes to fill. So there you go. There's your clue. Who was the first Brockham's quarterback to finish a season minimum of 200 passes with a passer rating higher than 100?
Send it to us on the ConWest team line, 970-214-1340. Boys high school golf season coming up very, very soon. We're gonna talk with Jason Jones, who is the new golf coach out of Fruit & Monument replacing Dave Fox, who's been out there for 20 plus years, coaching the boys golf team. So we'll talk to Jason Jones coming up a little bit.
So speaking of Fruita, we've been having this discussion about the PowerCat logo in Kansas State. Luke on the ConWest X-line. K-State allows high schools to use the PowerCat logo, which Bill Snyder created. Okay.
The agreement to use the logo is a dollar per year. The only stipulation is that it cannot be red and blue, the colors of Kansas University, the J-Box. Okay. So I did not know that wasn't sure if they'd, I'd assume they probably got some kind of agreement, but I didn't want to make that assumption.
But- Hey, we're only a buck here. That's- You can't beat that. See, that's, why couldn't Texas Tech have done that with Thornton? Because they're Texas.
Yeah. I'll just give us a buck a year, okay? Stephen Cantwen, no, you can't win Stephen, because you won the other day. And you do win because you have the answer on it.
It's not Jake Plummer. Oh, I think we have a winner. We do have a winner. Let me double check out which building- I'll check that.
All right. So Todd, let's see. Funny thing when Booklift Junior High was a thing, their Mustang was the Ford Mustang, not sure if it carried to the middle school days. I don't know what they kept that logo.
I'm not sure. From Brian Ford Lewis College Raider, happy almost August Fellows. We get real college football this month. I'm already looking forward to hearing from all of our old friends, Mark Johnson, Lian Thompson, of course, the picks with P.D.
And Conan and the Thunderdome Soundbite, stakeable this weekend. You too, Brian. And now, ladies and gentlemen, I win another contest. He's another winner on the team sports network.
Josh Allen, not that Josh Allen, correctly identifying Brian Greasy. That's right, Brian Greasy. Horse had big shoes to fill, placing John Elway as his team's quarterback. So he threw for, he had a passer rating of 102.9.
He threw for 2,688 yards, 19 touchdowns, four interceptions. So congratulations to Josh Allen listening today. Appreciate that, Josh. All right, let's go around the NFL this morning.
Hopefully, he's on the front of those and the lead. He's around the NFL on the Jim Davis show. Right. So yesterday was the second day of the acclimation period, which it's, it's basically like OTAs and it's just a very chill start to training camp for NFL teams.
It's the NFL's onboarding. Yeah, which I think that's OK. That's an appropriate way to approach the whole thing. Jalen, a lot of making some noise already kind of touchdown during Wednesday's workout.
And then yesterday, this has gone viral. One handed catch that he put up yesterday. Pretty darn amazing. That's pretty cool.
Bo hooking up with Jalen Waddle on that play. Bo Nick's continues to run with the first team. Looks like the ankle is just fine. Not creating a problem.
But yesterday on the second day of camp, second day of the acclimation period, secondary played really, really well yesterday. Yeah. And they did get a couple of touchdown passes, Evan Ingram caught a touchdown pass, little Jordan Humphrey caught one, but new edition coming over from the United Football League former Sandwell's battle Hawks, Sam First Jr. Had an interception, but like Sam Ellinger was going to throw a touchdown pass.
But Sam First Jr. There do come up with the big interception yesterday during camp. So the Broncos, once again, it's helmets and it's jerseys. You can't put too much stock into what you see in the first couple of days, but watching Nick's on the field doing boots waggles, doing this, you know, going through the normal motion, normal plays a quarterback will make with that, but that ankle concerns about that.
At least once again, part of it, until we get to the preseason, until we get the regular season, you can't go too crazy. But it looks good. It looks encouraging how he's moving around. It looks like it's not going to create him any problems going forward.
So let's brace on the sound. One of the things that, of course, is a big story from yesterday was Sean Payton talking about inducting his whole quarterback, Drew Brees and the profile of fame. They were there together for 15 years, won a Super Bowl together at a top 10 offense pretty much every single year that they work together. I like what Sean said to, and I don't know if it's in the clip or not, but how a lot of times head coach, particularly an offensive head coach quarterback, that relationship does not always end well.
I think it is mentioned in there. I'm pretty sure in their case, it's entirely different. Very amicable, very still, very close. And so Payton talked about it a lot yesterday.
And so he's also asked, I don't think this in the clip or not, but asked about what that's going to look like is it's practice will still be practicing. This is, you know, it's August 8th, the Hall of Fame induction out in Canton. And Payton said we've already began to discuss it. We want to practice.
We miss Saturday. We'll leave after Friday's practice. We back Sunday. There's a handful of guys here that shared a lot of those memories and we excited for him and he was asked he's going to run practice while he's gone.
He said probably Vance Joseph or Darren Rizzi, one of our experienced coaches that's staying back, probably Vance who was a head coach as we as we remember, as we know, it'll probably be him running the show, the, the period of time that Sean Payton's gone, you know, which nobody better complain about that. Well, what's he doing? Why isn't he there to stop it. He's inducted in his former quarterback in a pro football Hall of Fame.
I don't think anyone will complain, but you know, there's always somebody that's going to focus needs to be on the season. You know, that there's those people out there all the time. Hey, that's stupid. I hate those people.
Anyway, here's Sean Payton, un inducting your breeze. It caught me off guard. I was with a group. We were getting ready golf the next day and I had a droid phone.
So I'd never really gotten a face time. It was just a lot, you know, being 15 years together. And honestly, the thing I remember talking to him later, you know, a lot of times for a number of reasons, those quarterback head coach relationships, you kind of always take for granted. And yet sometimes, oftentimes they don't end like you'd want them to end.
And I was really proud that it ended the way, you know, he wanted it to. And, you know, I'm excited for him, you know, and it was, you know, it was a coach and honored that someone would ask you to do that. Operationally, how does it work here then next week? You're going there?
I'm there's going to be a group. I think we've already begun to discuss. There'll be one practice we miss Saturday. We'll leave after Friday's practice and then be back Sunday.
All right. So there's Sean Payton about going out to candle high to induct through Breeze. So the comparisons have been really strong between Drew Brees and Bo Nix. For Sean Payton, they're the only two quarterbacks he's really ever drafted.
Yeah. They might maybe be in book as well, but I mean, that was a free rookie free agent signing. I think we'll be in pedantic. Tastes him.
Yeah. Let's just that's not really a quarterback, though. Yeah. Swiss Army knife tied in slot receiver and occasional quarterback.
So, you know, they both these guys in Drew Brees and Bo Nix draw a lot of comparisons. They're Sean Payton on those comparisons. I think they number one, and they were high-volume college players, you know, he played a lot of snaps at Purdue. And I would say that the immediate, just analytical, statistical number would be the accuracy numbers from an NFL perspective.
He'll go down as the most accurate passer in the history of the league and every and collegial he was at Purdue. And I think historically speaking, Bo was the most accurate college passer. When you look at a lot of numbers, so that would be the first and a tough comparison for anybody, you know, in their fourth year. But that would just be the, you know, the beginning, their personalities are different, of course, but their accuracy and their positioning of the ball is certainly noticed.
All right. So there's Sean Payton comparing his soon to be Hall of Famer, Drew Brees, and his current quarterback, Bo Nix. So Mike McGloinchee has turned into one of the better right tackles in all of football. We mentioned last night on the Broncos, he able to put a few sacks last year.
So this is the club, this is the club where it was like dumb question of the day about protecting Bo Nix after the ankle injury in the divisional loss to Buffalo. I don't think those physiology really affects pressure on me. I think Bo's healthy. He's ready to go.
And I'm gonna do my job to the best of my ability, just like I always saw him every step of the way. And he was checking all his boxes and he attacks his rehab hard as he always does everything. So I actually got asked to feel more pressure protecting Bo after he got hurt against Buffalo. And it's like, we got hurt on a quarterback design quarterback run.
And he gets sacked. I mean, it was, I was just kind of like, well, and he got my glinchee did the, huh? Like a little head tilt. Like, what are you talking about?
All right. So here's Mike McGloinchee on watching this quarterback, becoming dad. We have compared notes a couple times. I mean, there's definitely some guys, we try and help each other out in those regards.
That's new waters for a lot of us in this in this locker room and good family men are here, which is exciting. And but no, he's, I mean, Riley and Izzy are his whole world and he plays for them. And you know, no, Bo's been the same, which has been good. Sometimes, you know, you can go the other way, which that got he has.
All right. That's Mike McGwenchee. So we flip it out of the defense Broncos last year, second behind the Texans in the fewest yards allowed in the NFL last year. Fantastic season, Tallanoa, who Funga in his first full year playing in Denver, coming over as a patron from San Francisco.
He talked to the media yesterday about the standards that this defense has set. Yeah, I think for us, in the least the message that's been kind of set is the standard, right? There's always a standard that you put at least for our defense. And what does that standard look like?
Well, it's guys being an early guys thing like guys studying guys learning. And the day it's really this type of style that you play. The schematics is always going to be down there. And that's the game plan, the game plan.
But what is the style that you want? And I think that's what Coach always refers to the standard is guys running to the ball, guys flying, guys finishing plays and being physical. Obviously, we don't have as long yet, but being physical players as a defense. And that's what they set as a groundwork here.
I was able to be blessed to come into it last year. But then the day you want to push it forward for the guys that are young, new, and it has to restart again. And it's a long journey. But for us, we're excited to be part of that standard and hopefully we can continue to set it.
All right. So don't forget you can catch a Broncos football right here on the team sports. No work August 14th will be Atlanta for the first preseason game pregame starts at three o'clock on the team. But also once again, we will bring you games for the folks in the Montrose area that may be one or two point one doesn't entirely reach your area.
96.1 K star will also their coverage will start at four o'clock. We'll also be bringing you brockers football preseason regular season of the postseason as well. All right. So some other news and notes around the NFL this morning.
Baker Mayfield probably making his situation in Tampa Bay even more difficult to navigate Mayfield said he had told reporters that he felt disrespected when they Thursday. Mayfield talked about his current or the details of his contract talks with the team. Mayfield is reportedly characterized as a two year deal. This is from pro football talk for a source of knowledge of the situation.
It was a two year extension as pro football talk points out. It's subtle but significant in terms of the difference. Mayfield believes he was disrespected after an offer of a two year deal seems less respectful to a reasonable person with no skin of the game than offer of a three year deal. He's been a fellow reporter the buck and he's ultimately offered Mayfield a two year deal were slightly more than $100 million in total.
While not mentioned in that article it means it was a two year extension given the manner which a veteran contracts are analyzed. A two year $100 million deal would have a new money average of 72.5 million based on the old money of 27.5 million. And that's where maybe the problem comes from a current football talk may feel maybe looking at the offer in total average from signing and the bucks may be looking at the new money average. In this case, the two year extension worth more than $100 million has a new money.
APY of more than $50 million of average per year. The three year deal would have a real average of from signing at 42.5. So apparently may feel currently has no desire to attempt to resolve the situation. And it just kind of you know as they said underscores the reality that teams and players often interpret contract offers very differently.
Mayfield wants to get fans to agree that he was disrespected and undervalued. I thought it's about the wording. Like they say here in the Pro Football Talk article in a question of laundry versus person wearing the laundry the fans typically get behind the laundry. And if the ultimate fight is where the contract will be a value from signing that is closer to 50 million than 40 million most fans won't be persuaded to alter their habit of rooting for the laundry in this case.
So fair point. It's a good analogy. Yeah. I do feel a little bad for Baker Mayfield because Vida Vaya might be on his way out.
Yeah. Like Evans is gone. They're coaching situations not great. Now one thing they have going for them is Baker Mayfield and the fact that the NFC South rest of that division just sucks.
So you could ostensibly see a nine and eight bucket of years team this year win the division or for that matter any team in that division go like eight and nine and eight and win the division because that's kind of what happened last year. Yeah. It's not the NFC South is not a strong division. It's bad by any stretch the imagination.
It's just bad. All right. Eight nineteen coming up next. We're going to talk with new Furtim monument to boys golf coach Jason Jones.
That's on the way in a moment by time right now to play the Palace River Game and a Friday, which is where the world is Tyler Fran's in the world is Carmen Sandia. Where the hell is he? I can't find him. He's not high.

The monument wildcat sports on the Jim Davis show and new for the one boys golf coach Jason Jones brought to you by the Rick Nelson, agents in American family insurance and new roof means a new rate for home auto life or business quote called 9702410078 and joining us right now on the com West team line to talk about Wildcats golf. He replaces Dave Fox, the longtime coach of the four to one mid boys golf team Jason Jones joins us Jason. I appreciate the time. Thanks for coming on for a few minutes.
Hey guys, thanks for having me on. So you replace a legend. That's never easy to do. Fox was there for a very long time coaching golf.
What made you throw your hat in the ring? Jason to become the wildcat boys golf coach. One, I went to fruit a long time ago, but I've been involved in the golf team for the last seven years. Helped days while my boys were were going through the program and fell in love with with coaching and and golf.
I'm so excited to throw my hat in there and see what we can do. What do you feel like with the last seven years being around Dave Fox? Maybe Jason, some things you learned from Dave? Well, I played baseball for Dave way back in the day.
So I've known Dave a long time. First all, I mean probably the legend in this community and the sports down and how you treated the kids and made an experience, which comes down to the best. I've seen the mental side of the game. He was excellent at but really being able to relate to him and encourage and bring the best out mentally.
Dave was fabulous out Jason Jones, new golf coach with Wordam on it boys program joining us today. And so when you look at what you got this year, of course, Colin Black was a definition ninth last year of the state golf tournament and the five eight tournament. Yeah, so you lose him to graduation. But what does it what does it look like in terms of guys coming back for him?
You wish I called him Black back for another year, but what does it look like with the rest of your guys? Yeah, a few players Colin was amazing last year and a couple years prior to that. You know, we had some really excellent players. We're gonna have a strong team.
We're an old team, which I'm excited about a lot of experience. I think we're gonna have six seniors and three juniors on the team. I'm really excited about a couple freshmen and sophomores we got for the future. But we're gonna be a little older team and we got some experience.
Well, talk about some of Jason's most experienced guys that you have coming back from the Wildcats this year that you hope to have a leadership role of his golf team. Yeah, Trey Benton, you know, he's been on the team since he was a sophomore. So really well established there. Pedro Natsby, we got Ethan and Rywin.
And I mean, there's a bunch. You know, went out and played yesterday. And most everybody was, you know, in the high seventies, I know Trey's been shooting the summer playing in the color of PGA and base the program. He shot even par out of the building in the tournament on last Monday.
So we've got some really good experience and talented players. Jason Jones, a new boys golf coach at Furtim Monument, joining us today on the team sports network. So, you know, always, you know, incoming freshmen that's, you know, the foundation of program, those young guys, what was it look like in terms of tryouts and things like that, Jason, of guys that are interested in golf and being part of that tradition of Furtim on a boys golf? Yeah, Frels are going to be coming Monday and Tuesday.
We're going to do 18 whole rounds out of Adobe, 9am at Adobe on Monday and 8am on Tuesday. And you know, I'm a, tryouts are going to be, you know, score based. You know, I'm coming in, don't have any favorites. We'll go at the numbers, speak to us and, and see where they can play.
But, you know, I feel the, the JV, you know, even if they, you know, can't quite make varsity, I feel the JV is a development program and something that we need to develop kids and players where we can, we can get them up to the varsity level sooner rather than later. Do you ever sense about how many freshmen here have coming to try to maybe just, you know, even underclassmen in general, was the sophomore's refreshment last year? Do you ever sense what that looks like in terms of numbers? Yeah, the list I saw that I got last night looks like there's probably five incoming freshmen, three or four sophomores.
But I know that, you know, one of the freshmen, maybe two that we've got and one of the sophomores, they're going to challenge for some varsity spots. So that leaves me a little bit of predicament because I might, you know, we might have to keep 10 kids on varsity, which, which is a good and bad because they're going to push our varsity players, you know, for playing time on the flip side, might deplete our JV a little bit. So we'll just see how the, how the numbers play out. But, you know, if anybody wants to come out and try out, you know, we're going to take a good look and keep as many as we can, you know, the JV team.
So when you're not coaching for the one with boys golf, what's the day job for you? Yeah, yeah, I run a running a financial local mortgage company here in town. So, you know, I'm blessed in my career now that I can, you know, have a little bit of time and and talk into top and to create a coaching gig. Well, I know you sponsored some of our broadcast before, I appreciate that participation though the last time out and thanks for coming on today for a few minutes and talking about taking over the Furtimah boys golf team and I'm sure we'll be talking to you down the road throughout the course of the golf season.
Yeah, appreciate everything you do for local high school sports as well. Take care. Thank you, Jason. Appreciate the time.
Jason Jones, the new golf coach at the Furtimah boys program joining us today on the show. All right, 832, Jim along with Kate today from the Bose Art Miller Chevrolet V York studios, most trust in the name of automobiles. Do we have a winner yet for wearing the world of Tyler Francis? We do.
Okay. And now, ladies and gentlemen, I win another contest. He's another winner of the team sports network. Jeremy correctly identifying Tom Benson Stadium in Kenton, Ohio, the home of the pro football Hall of Fame game, which is coming up next Thursday.
It's what Arizona Carolina, which will have your own team, by the way. Sure. I think that's about 99.9% certain. But that's the matchup.
Cardinals Panthers. Yep. You have a little faith. Not no, not you.
Little faith in the internet. So we'll have that game coming up Thursday. But congratulations and a 33. We will take a break coming up.
Love her. Cool. A graduate was for down territory this day in sports history. Should the Rockies not even think about trading 100 Goodman got some thoughts on that tree deadline is coming up on Monday, by the way, in the hit us up on the Southwest team line 97 0 2 3 2 3 4 say 37, Jim along with Kate today.
We have our best of our three, which we got some grief. Good nature grief the other day on one about a Wednesday because I say give us full three and like, well, but you are still getting three hours of our show of content. Well, and not as live, but you're still getting quality content now or three, which includes today. We have a couple of the Tigers, new coaches, Scott, else and new golf coach.
We also have Tim's foil. Tim Defoea. Yes, we have North Fork, Curtis, Inc. Delta's Todd Kingspear and our good buddy Cody Rourke.
Okay. Talking about go. So that's coming up on our three. I heard a little bit of grief about the welcome you guys.
You know, it was good nature. I think it was Delano came over who exactly sent it. I think the line that I think you had, which was you know, we if not a full three, give us a solid two. Jim, sometimes it's hard to get a solid two in the morning.
Yeah, sometimes it takes it takes a little while, you know, you got to get get to get some oatmeal in the system and some, yeah, exactly. All right. So my first 10, give it a moment, tied into the would tragically that the scooter guy, this was not tragic, but I've got a scooter story. Oh, coming up time for four down territory.
We're into four down territory on the Jim Davis show on the team. Right. It's right to my cool garage doors. That's cool over the cake.
I just can't get him to do that. Thank you. Appreciate you. One of these days.
One of these days. All right. So San Francisco Giants outfielder Harrison Bader involved in a scooter accident that apparently even more strange than what initially reported. Oh, he had a scooter, he had, he was in a scooter crash and he cow hollow area of San Francisco about 150 in the morning on Sunday.
I report from a outlet in San Francisco says witnesses say that Bader scooter crash in the back of a San Francisco fire department fire engine. It's not funny. Because it's not, but that's kind of funny. Then apparently, the report at the wheel of the fire engine then ran over Bader's foot causing a major injury.
Okay, that's not good. That's not good. Bader's a former gold blubber with St. Louis, the Giants are in the off season for two years to $20.5 million.
He's only hitting 170 this year though for the Giants. How do you miss a fire truck? I don't know. They're big and red for I get that it's dark, but it's a fire truck.
But he was also not closing time there. So that's kind of the thought is that he wasn't probably operating that with a clear set of faculties. Ah ha. So he's been in also been sidelined with planter, uh, fasciitis to his left foot since May.
And so now, well, barely the injury had involved the same foot. So anyway, we move on to second down ESPN has revealed their, uh, 2026, 2027 college football anthem. Are you ready to give a listen? Are you ready for some football?
Here we go. National champions. All right. That is Shabuzzi, the song called high noon.
So that you'll okay, that will not be the last time you hear that song. It will be the last time we heard on this show. Probably. Yeah.
So it's a I like Shabuzzi. Okay. He's okay. I don't know.
It's all right. It's kind of a one note guy for me. Yeah. I can't argue with that.
All right. Third and fourth down. We talked about Tony Romo getting into the OWI in Wisconsin. Right.
The body cam footage has been released. We talked about that the other day. Did you talk about the fact that he made the excuse of his grandparents that he was driving to Grandma and grandpa's house? We didn't get into that part.
We had there was a lot of other stuff to unpack. No, we did not get into he was going to grandma and grandpa's house. That was his excuse that he said he was driving to his grandparents house. According to all publicly available obituaries, Tony Romo, sadly does not have a living grandparents.
Oh, so that's not good. So he lied to the cops on top of being intoxicated while operating a motor vehicle in state of Wisconsin, which yeah, uh oh. So he might be a little trouble. Boomer Syanson said that he doesn't expect CBS to release any sort of statement anytime soon about the Romo situation.
And I yeah, tend to agree with him. Yeah. In happier news as we move on to fourth down. Okay.
AFC West quarterback Justin Herbert announcing his engagement to pop star Madison beer and eagle eyed NFL fans were quick to point out that there is an interesting statistic when it comes to Justin Herbert's engagement and the New York football jets. Would you like to hear it? Sure. Go for it.
Justin Herbert became the boy next met then became the boyfriend of and got engaged to Madison beer pop singer singer songwriter in the entire time since the last time the New York football jets recorded at defensive interception. Justin Herbert has had a relationship lead to an engagement for the same length of time that the Jets defense has not forced a passing turnover. That's been a while. Hey, they suck the Jets.
Wow. Sock. Congratulations. Yeah, yeah.
Well, then. I mean, doesn't play protein that we root for actively root against, but he seems like a good guy. So congratulations to him. All right, that's for now territory by cooler garage doors.
It's cooler with the K. That's the story of the greatest sport moment of all of this. It's time to take a trip back in time. It's this day in sports history.
All right, we go back to 1973, Julia serving the ABA's leading scores traded by the cash draft Virginia Squires to the New York Nets for forward George Carter and cash. And if you have prime video, the sole power documentary on the ABA is well worth watching of how that league had a tremendous influence on the NBA that we have now and stars like Julia serving and then very played in that league after playing in the NBA that it's great. If you have prime video, I recommend you watch it. It's really, really good.
A lot of stuff on Dr. J and the other nuggets to in that documentary. All right, 1994, Sir J. Boopka sets a world poll poll record for the 35th time in his career at an Italy 20 feet, one and three quarter inches, adding to the half-inch to his old marks set in Tokyo in 1992.
Also 2005, Grant Hackett becomes a first woman to win four straight world titles in the same event capturing another 1500 meter freestyle championship. And keep it in the pool. 2012, Michael Phelps breaks the Olympic medals record with his 19th as a USA, or arms to a dominating win only four by 200 meter freestyle relay at the London games with 19 career medals spanning three Olympics, Phillip Phelps moves one ahead of Soviet gymnast, Larissa Latania who got her haul in 1956, 1960 and 1964. Also on this day, we'll go back in time to 1930, Lou Gehrig drove in eight runs the Grand Slam in two doubles as the Yankees beat the Red Sox 14 to 13.
Of course, we're going to see Glenn Powell play Lou Gehrig in an upcoming film on the Yankee, the tragic Yankee star. I think a couple years from now, I was going to see that film on Lou Gehrig. I did not, I didn't know it was going to be Glenn Powell. Yes.
Gary Cooper played him in part of the Yankees. I'm not sure I would have, would have picked Glenn Powell to play Lou Gehrig. I'm not sure I would have, I'm not saying it's a bad choice. I guess I can kind of see it.
I can. I guess I just maybe don't remember what Lou Gehrig looks like. I think Gary Cooper looked more like, like Lou Gehrig than Glenn Powell does, but there was also a lot of criticism, sadly about Gary Cooper back in the day that he wasn't very athletic. No.
And it was kind of a goofy film. Some of the stuff was pretty goofy. I mean, it wasn't filmed from the 40s. And this I'm assuming is going to take a more serious approach to the history of Lou Gehrig, of course, tragically is nameling forever with the ALS.
Yeah. So after he died, I think before he was 40 years old, Lou Gehrig back in the day. All right, 847, Jim along with cake are best of ours, three coming up in a couple of minutes. Time right now, open up a lid and hop in.
It's garbage time. We're taking out the trash. It's garbage time on the Jim Davis Show on the team. Oh, why?
All right. You know, there's the women's professional softball league that's going right now, the AUL SL, but there's going to be a professional women's baseball league. Love that. So it's like ESPN is going to broadcast the games, but no games will air on traditional TV.
They'll all be on stream on ESPN select, by the way. So all 37 games, the inaugural season will stream on ESPN select. It's basically ESPN plus edition 11 regular season games will be simulcast on the script sports network. So I mean, it's a big deal.
They got ESPN. It's just unfortunate for the league that they're not going to be on a larger platform. If you were more accessible platform. I tell you what though, like there's there has been some very legitimate competition.
And I think that the world of women's sports is doing it right and saying, okay, maybe we don't go head to head with the men's sports in terms of same time of season, same, whatever, but like you have the National Women's Soccer League, you have the WNBA, obviously, you know, Caitlin Clark of it all. Right. Now this you have professional women's hockey league that's doing very well in its first couple of years of run. And now this professional women's baseball league and yeah, okay, you don't love that it's not going to get traditional TV earrings.
But if it's going to start, I mean, it's it's on an ESPN platform, which is which is really big. So they'll play the inaugural season August and September, the AUSL, the professional softball league, you know, they have a partnership with Major League Baseball and some of those games actually are on MLB network. And also for the AUSL, they actually played in home markets this time. They were in a centralized location before.
And the WPBL, the women's professional baseball league, will play all their games and Robin Roberts stadium in Springfield, Illinois. So like that, Robin Roberts? No, the former Philly Robin Roberts. Okay, the man not the woman.
Not good America. No, not that Robin Roberts. That would be kind of cool. Not gonna lie.
A women's sports league being named after a Titan of women's sports media. I believe that is through the stadium was named after I'll double check. But I'm pretty sure it's the former Major League Baseball player. I will say I think it'd be if they have the opportunity to do one of the funniest things, which would be if there is a pending Major League Baseball lockout, if this professional women's baseball league has any semblance of success, they could they could take over for the baseball season.
If the if the men don't get their act together, I think that'd be kind of funny. It'd be kind of funny. Get some of the AUSL players, Jeff Altman, softball, blights and baseball. His name after Forbes Phillies pitcher Robin Roberts he is from Springfield, or was born in Springfield, Illinois from there.
So named after him not, not TVs, Robin Roberts, but they'll have four teams that will represent key baseball cities, the Boston Hunters, the Los Angeles Queens, the New York Heights, and the San Francisco firebells. Will be the four teams. They're gonna play us in once again at its centralized location at Springfield, Illinois. That's kind of cool.
Do you have anything? Did you guys talk at all about Carl Ravitch the other day? Not really, no. Well, I'm still basically working for ESPN.
Yeah, so off-load, obviously doing the coverage. So Thursday night baseball between Washington Nationals and Atlanta Braves and the supposedly fired Carl Ravitch was in the booth next to Eduardo Perez doing the game between the Braves and Nationals. That's he learned he was being laid off when reached for Comic-Bire reporter, which not good. Then Sports Illustrated, Jimmy Trena was told on Thursday night that Ravitch has slated to call some games for ESPN in the upcoming weeks.
So maybe he hasn't been fired all the way. He's also, according to Andrew Marshan, he's expected to work the Little League World Series. Which has for a long time. Yeah.
It's just bizarre. It's like they lay him off, but he's still working for them. That's not doing it, not doing hosting. So then that's not a layoff.
That's just a reduction in your responsibility. You're gonna cut back to part-time or whatever, you're more of a contract guy. I don't know. Also, we talked about, well, Buckeye and myself did about the video that was put out from All Star Weekend with Angel Reese and Paige Becker's appearing to Wager on their game before they played.
Oh, it was before Wednesday night's matchup between the Atlanta Dream and Dallas Wings, the WNBA posted a video on social media that appeared to play a personal $400 wager on whose team would win. And it says in their contracts on the WNBA, you can't do that. But certainly after promoting the video, WNBA did thought better of it and they took down the social media post. And so at WNBA spokesperson issue, the statement on the deleted post, while the social media post is intended to be light-hearted, WNBA players are well aware of the leagues policies prohibiting betting on WNBA games received training every year and reinforcing those policies, we recognize that the post missed the mark, removed it shortly after it's published and addressed the matter internally.
We will also use this as an opportunity to reemphasize what the players involved at conversations about wager and WNBA games, even when intended as a joke can have negative consequences. It's what's yet to leak that is on the rise, but can't get out of their own way. Amen. Amen.
Just can't get out of their own way. Are you going to wrap it up here? Well, okay, we were talking about Glen Powell and Lou Gehrig movies, so they've got the side-by-side images. And I don't really see Glen Powell as Lou Gehrig, but you know, like kind of seeing it, obviously you can't do it now because he's seven longer with us, but Paul Newman looked a little bit like it from a certain angle, kind of looked a little bit like Lou Gehrig's side.
Yeah, but I thought Gary Cooper looked more like him than they've actually played him. Yeah, but we'll see how it goes with the Glen Powell playing Lou Gehrig in the very near future. All right, that's our show for today. At least the live portion of it.
Give us a third hour though, because it's our best of hour three. That's coming up in just a few minutes for cake. I'm Jim. Thanks again for joining us.
We'll see you back here on Monday morning at seven on the team Sports Network online at the team 1340.com.
