00:00
let's get started and start off with the story that just keeps getting updated and gets more
00:04
peculiar by the minute here two weeks before Kawhi Leonard's first no-show payment you may
00:09
have heard about this via Pablo Torre Los Angeles Clippers apparently made a 21 million dollar
00:14
payment to aspiration in a deal that was signed off by the team CFO that's a lot of money for
00:20
the Clippers not to know that that's actually happening NBA currently investigating the Clippers
00:24
investigating the owner and Kawhi Leonard to determine if the Clippers tried to circumvent
00:29
the salary cap by paying Kawhi Leonard to do a no-show job by the way the Clippers have released
00:34
a statement today saying that the Steve Ballmer situation was basically a dupe saying that he
00:41
got duped on the reported 118 million dollar investment into this company called aspiration
00:46
Clippers say that the payments were made to aspiration until the company was unable to fulfill
00:52
their responsibilities now here's the interesting part the full statement also says that Ballmer and
00:59
his family are focused on sustainability and that's why the dome that they play in was designed to be
01:04
a carbon neutral building from its inception and to achieve lead zero status over time whatever that is
01:11
LED status so basically they're trying to make the arena more carbon friendly more environment friendly
01:19
that's what this company aspiration apparently was supposed to do but why Kawhi Leonard would be
01:24
involved in this still remains to be seen so the investigation continues all right let's get to the
01:28
latest tonight in the National Football League pretty big spread one of the biggest of the season thus
01:32
far Buffalo 11 and a half point favorites against Miami 49 and a half is the total 815 Eastern will
01:40
break this down thoroughly throughout the show meanwhile the DC Council has signed off on the
01:44
Commander's RFK Stadium project they're expected to open up a new stadium now in 2030 finally voted
01:51
official according to the District of Columbia 11 to 2 new stadium for Washington third one in 20 years
01:57
the San Francisco 49ers still waiting to find out whether or not they'll get Brock Purdy back they
02:02
had Mac Jones start last week that was successful Kyle Shanahan gave the media yesterday an update on all
02:08
of the injuries going on with the 49ers which of course includes George Kittle being out and some
02:12
players as well here's the latest on Purdy and the 49ers injuries all right guys um injuries for
02:18
practice today uh you tour knee won't practice juice concussion won't practice Burford knee won't
02:25
practice Saron Neal concussion won't practice Trent Williams knee slash vet day won't practice
02:30
Juwan Jennings ankle slash shoulder won't practice McCaffrey calf slash vet day won't practice Bosa vet day
02:37
um Brock Purdy left shoulder slash toe will be limited that's it
02:42
he's progressing well with his toe injury oh yeah he wasn't limited limited limited limited last
02:48
week so yeah he does have a chance all right so we'll see if Purdy plays this week for the 49ers
02:56
meanwhile of course all the controversy surrounding Tom Brady his ownership small ownership with Las
03:03
Vegas him working for Fox conflict of interest the Bears will meet with Fox and Brady works for Fox so
03:10
ahead of the Cowboys game he will speak with Ben Johnson who is not concerned at all to reveal the
03:17
deep dark secrets of the Bears with Tom Brady man I've been careful everything I've said since the
03:22
season started I've been in pure coach speak mode started so to me it's just business as usual I'm just
03:30
fine I like Tom and uh we have a really good relationship so yeah um like I said I'm really not
03:36
worried about it I mean we change week to week in terms of what we do uh schematically he he's going
03:41
to be able to turn on the tape and see what everyone else in the world's seeing right now um
03:46
personnel wise really the same thing it's it's not like I'm going to sit down with him tell hey
03:50
don't do this to Caleb Williams or you might get it like I'm not gonna there's not going to be any
03:55
trade secrets that are going to be exchanged but um I I just I really don't think it's that big of a deal
04:01
to be honest with you Cowboys and Bears Sunday on Fox all right tonight in college football there is
04:08
one game so if college football is your thing this is the game Rice and Charlotte on a Thursday night
04:15
Rice two and a half point favorites at Charlotte total 43 and a half boy I mean this is uh not the
04:24
best game tonight in college football just being honest all right college football transfer portal
04:29
that's been a big story over the last couple of years the NCAA has eliminated the spring transfer
04:34
portal window so basically college athletes will have a chance to transfer but they're not going to
04:39
be able to do it throughout the year it'll only be uh January 2nd through the 11th that's when you
04:45
can actually make your move and then you can't do it later on and that of course will help situations
04:50
and coaches in college football also Colorado uh making another quarterback switch they're going to
04:55
start Caden Salter this week against Wyoming it has not been a good start of the season
04:59
for uh Colorado and their wins and losses would represent that also Mike Elko gave really good
05:05
news today about their injury to their player Bryce Anderson he avoided a catastrophic injury the game
05:12
was delayed for about 15 minutes on Saturday night looks like he's going to be okay return later this
05:17
season all right in Major League Baseball Padres keep winning Mets keep losing that's kind of the story
05:21
Juan Soto had a chance to tie it late in the game he lined out Manny Machado hit a grand slam
05:25
seven to four the final Padres are in all likelihood going to make the postseason they're
05:30
on the doorstep now just a couple of more wins Mets are probably going to need some wins at the end
05:34
of the year to get in the Diamondbacks man they had a great start yesterday from Brandon Fott they lost
05:39
five to one in 11 innings to the Giants Giants still very much alive in the race so are the Diamondbacks
05:46
the big story from this one was Justin Verlander he threw seven innings of three hit ball no
05:51
forward runs and also announced that he's going to come back for another season where he plays
05:56
remains to be seen yeah it feels nice um you know obviously uh I think you know being my 20th year
06:06
um I can only recall a few that kind of went the way you want from start to finish um I can also recall
06:13
a few that were um very difficult for most of the year um just being one of those um you know I think
06:21
uh kind of a relentlessness to find your way out of it and just never kind of give in and try to always
06:29
adapt um has has helped me tremendously and um you know obviously would like to finish strong I got a
06:37
couple more left um but um you know it's uh in a weird way a bit a bit more vindicating you know
06:45
and um because you put in that much work you know every day
06:50
Verlander probably gets another one-year deal I would guess next year all right Cincinnati Reds
06:56
they're staying alive in the playoff race hasn't been a good run for them in September but they
06:59
beat the Cardinals last night six to two also Blake Snell looking good heading into the postseason
07:04
seven shutout innings Shohei Otani also hit a home run five to nothing the final there the Yankees get
07:10
two more home runs from Trent Grisham having a career season now 33 on the year wow Yankees pass the
07:17
twins 10 to 5 that was the final score there the Red Sox walk off the A's in 10 innings so they keep
07:23
pacing the wild card race they win 10 to or 5 to 4 in that one and also Jose Altuve hit a home run
07:31
and the Astros hang on to beat the Rangers 5 to 2 the Rangers have now lost four games in a row
07:36
streakiest team in baseball by far Guardians beat the Tigers 4 to nothing Cleveland 9 and 1 in their
07:42
last 10 games just a couple of games out of the Central
07:47
game
07:50
we're going to be a series of competition
