anchors and commentators Harry re nerd Dan Rather Walter kronite the OS good file now what I did there was probably a huge mistake these are the people just off the top of my head if I forgot you I didn't forget you this is all just happening so fast but a special ND to one man who was a producer a writer reporter and anchor over the years and who had and has CBS in his blood who maintains the most thorough and loving website of WCBS news radio that's a man I'm proud to call my friend Don swam and thanks to all of his contributors most notably John Landers on the WCBS news radio 8 appreciation site go to it it's amazing now if we had hours not just minutes left we would name all the people you've never heard on the air except in the credits supporting those of us on the air and supporting journalism the legions of people behind the scenes writing producing engineering are an innumerable and invaluable part of our history Wicked smart people showing up at all hours weekends Thanksgiving Christmas so that whenever you turned on 880 you were closer to your world the WCBS passion and tribe spilled into a Salesforce that revered these call letters and the CBS Legacy every bit as much as you and I do advocates for our craft who showed advertisers how we the audience are smart Discerning engaging and caring caring we have given our advertising dollars and our charitable dollars through so many hungerthon for example you held us to a high standard and let us know when we didn't hit the mark all of us here knew that our audience is engaged and smart and we need to treat our audience with the respect that a well-informed well-educated news consumer deserves that's right deserves our News desert is getting bigger and drier just like we should get a second medical opinion we need to see out more and more varied news sources that we trust because getting your information without the bias and brainwashing in one place has giv way to a a fight to stay informed with each closing newspaper radio Newsroom TV Newsroom magazine and now even digital news operations the country we love is diminished so as we leave the news ecosystem after 57 years of all news and 100 years of service on New York radio we implore you to find that next trusted Source use it support it in word and deed it is the most patriotic thing you can do and the most satisfying to paraphrase a CBS News Legend good night and good luck you will ask why does this radio station mean so much why is the reaction the way it is and I really can't speak for others I can speak for myself my parents split when I was 11 we split and when I was at Dad's house he gave me a clock and this one had a beam at the top that shined the time onto the ceiling I wanted to make sure it was set correctly so I went to the station I heard in the back of the car WCBS to make sure the time was exactly right and I listened and listened and before long I became hooked as a 12 13-year-old when I was 14 my dad drove me to the radio station in New York City during morning rush hour traffic and he introduced me to the place I'm now signing off in 2024 Ray Martell here's your last request Chris Alero Ben M Ivan Lee our bosses pushed for and got the authority to let us have our goodbyes to have a last show that's something very rare I thank them for that and I thank my dad for driving me into New York City in 1978 parents you never know what impact these random acts of love and attention may have on your [Music] children I'm Wayne CL and for the final time this is WCBS New York whsq and

listening to game night on ESPN Radio the ESPN app and Series XM Channel 80 Harrison Sanford and Jonathan zazow with you we are presented by Progressive Insurance if you want to tap in with us throughout the course of the night 1LE 8 729 3776 tri8 CN and week zero has come to a close we saw a top 25 defeat Georgia Tech getting a last second field goal to take down number 10 if she do to be number 10 anymore Florida State Grace RoR joining us now the athletic college football Rider Grace my question you is this more about Florida State or is this more about Georgia Tech could we actually see Georgia Tech actually be a factor when it comes down to winning the ACC Championship or getting to the college football playoffs I think that's a little bit of both I think Georgia Tech was better than we all expected and Florida State was maybe a little bit worse and I'm not sure that we're ready to declare Georgia Tech the kings of the ACC they'll still have to go through Miami hton um I'm sure they're going to have something to say in the ACC race but this is a really good Georgia Tech Team and I think they do deserve their flowers I mean he King played really well this is an offensive line that returned four their five starters and then brought in a really experienced Right Guard and Ken rled from Middle Tennessee they've got the pieces that they need I think to really compete they do have a gauntlet of a schedule um and then Florida State we all thought that they were going to be the favorites the AC we figured they'd just kind of reload um and they've got some questions to answer this is a game that um L lopsided for them and and I think we have to kind of recalibrate what our expectations are for them in the conference race but I think it's a little bit of both to your point Grace what do you make of DJ uag's performance I thought that DJ was was solid um maybe not necessarily dominant I mean I just think that this is a guy that uh we know how capable he can be when he's really clicking he has a huge arm he's a really effective Runner but he hasn't been a guy that's been a super consistent super accurate downfield pass and I thought we saw that again um in week zero I don't know that they really cut him loose um he didn't he had obviously those huge those two huge throws on fourth down um when they were trying to mount their comeback but other than that I just kind of felt like they didn't they weren't ready to to totally take him off the leash yet and I was surprised that they didn't use him more as a runner I mean this is a guy who's 250 lbs 6'4 um one of the most effective running quarterbacks in the ACC so I thought he was I thought he was fine I thought he he played well but uh I think they're going to a little bit more out ofe down the stretch you're tapped in with game night on ESPN Radio the ESPN app and Series XM channel 80 Harrison s jnan zazo right here on Game Night joined by Grace rer the athletic college football writer part of the reason Grace why DJ OU Ang did not play at a high level or at least many would think is because of the defense constructed by Tyler santui the defensive coordinator for Georgia Tech who came from Duke I'm wondering if you think there are any other hires in the world of football or the ACC that you think can have a really big impact on a team's offensive unit defensive unit or overall in general oh that's a good question um I mean this isn't a new hire obviously we saw him last year but I think I would say Garrett Riley at Clemson is probably the higher that I'm the most intrigued by this year now that he's had a full year to get in and replicate CL and that's an offense that has struggled uh really since Trevor Lawrence left so I'm curious to see what they look like this year and year two with Club Nick and Riley obviously we saw how much he could do at TCU and just the way he schemed Guys open um so not a fresh higher but he's still new enough that so I think he got our attention uh especially as they open up with Georgia big one Grace so looking at the 12 team college football playoff we're all going to guess learn together you know what you know what a loss here a loss there winds up meaning in the past FSU loses this opening game against Georgia Tech and we're probably all saying all right you're you're in big trouble but now because it's a 12 team playoff what does yesterday's loss mean for FSU big picture yeah I I'm right with you like we're going to figure it out together right I mean yes to your point it would have been an absolute dagger uh just this time of year ago I mean we're talking about a Florida State team that went undefeated and still didn't make it a year ago um so I think they've got a little bit more wiggle room uh if they can win the ATC they're they're going to have a pass in if they can maybe get a big win against Clemson and or Miami just depending on how things shake out around them maybe they're looking at an at large bid um so they don't have a ton of room for error but I don't think it's you know Florida State's chances are completely dead uh we'll see kind of what what shakes got around them but um I do think that they need to clean some things up and kind of figure out where their headed um and then maybe have some dominoes around them fall their way too chce rer athletic college football Rider joining us right here on Game Night on ESPN Radio the ESPN epis Ser 6m Channel lady8 Harrison Sanford and Jonathan zazow uh as we look at the week one college football schedule we do have some top 25 matchups Sunday September 1st USC taking on LSU you also have Notre Dame T taking on Texas A&M out of all the matchups that are happening in official week one what which game is the most intriguing to you and why I do like that Notre Dame in match up I think K coach and Mike Elco in week one is going to be really interesting I'm CU to see how he kind of slides into that another offense um I think Conor wigman is is poised for a big season so I've got I will be at Clemson Georgia so of course that's what going to be one that I'm going to be monitoring um curious to see what this Clinton offense looks like and just I would assume Georgia's probably going to look like they're in mid-season for him just uh probably the most talented team top to bottom in the country um so yeah those are probably the two that I'm I'm the most excited about and you know before we let you go here Grace if we can take a look at the SEC for a moment here I mean the SEC loves to brag every every single year obviously best conference best league but you got a Texas team that is entering the SEC not just with you know uh uh aspirations to win the SEC but to win the national championship so what do we make of the chances of an outsider like Texas being able to compete right away in the Southeastern Conference yeah I mean I think Texas is joining the SEC at a great time I mean this is a program that had a lot of momentum last year and they obviously made the playoffs and Quinn yers is a as a highman Contender um the SEC to your point is the the most daunting conference in the country so they're going to have to be ready to play Big Boy football immediately but that's the great thing about the 12 team playoffs too right everyone kind of has a chance um obviously I know they've lost some pieces they've had some some injuries that they're going to have to work around and kind of figure out where they're headed in that direction but um I think anyone who is entering this this preseason as a top 15 team has a shot when it's all said and done Grace I know a lot of people this time of year da dabbling around with their ESPN BET app uh as somebody who covers the sport can you name the one team you can only pick one team now outside of the obvious that wins the national championship so we're eliminating the Oregon Ohio States Alabama's uh the Georgia of the world name the one team that can creep into the playoff and really make some noise oh man I mean Oregon was my pick uh in the pre-season I think Georg is obviously probably but those are the easy ones Grace you know that all right give me uh what about M or actually can I have two oh miss or mizou I like both of them um they're both mou's got a lot of talent I love Luther Burton I think that they are kind of a sleeper team a lot of people to give lik them um Miss is returning Jackson Dart I do think we're going to see one of the teams that we're expecting to win it to win it all but um I like the way Old Miss and I like the way the were built yeah I like Jackson Dart a little long shot there to when Heisman trophy as well I think that's a good play right there all right Grace thank you for joining us here on game night enjoy the rest of your weekend yeah thank you guys so much for having me I appreciate it week zero of the college football season is over real quick Jonathan before we get into more NFL action Florida State done no are they are they a college are they a college football playoff team yeah I I I think so I think they are I mean before yesterday I put together my college football playoff predictions and before yesterday I I have them winning the ACC and that could still be the case it's just the problem CU you know you could you could represent you can get to the ACC Championship game without being undefeated in conference all right so you know they lose this game to Georgia Tech it just means you know games against Clemson games against Miami you probably got to win both of those now and you can't trip up you know with one or the other and conference games you know you figured going into the start of the Season Georgia Tech neutral sight that nobody counted that as one of fsu's conference losses so yeah I still think FSU as a playoff team I absolutely still think FSU is in play for the ACC Championship but you know I'm down here in South Florida I I grew up a hurricanes fan hurricane fans were loving yesterday all right that just makes potentially the road to an AC championship game easier for someone not called FSU yeah obviously hurricanes fans should be ex with Cam Ward there quarterback you know another interesting team in the ACC is North Carolina after their week one matchup against Minnesota and I saw this on college game day Saturday morning they don't go more than 10 miles away for the for from their campus until November wow very local home cooking there for the tar Hills who have a big tour of replacing Drake May who played fairly well in The Patriot pre-season

give us your bold NFL predictions give us a call one8 say espn8 729 3776 one of those B predictions could be the Patriots win the NFC that would that would definitely be quite the Bold Pi now wouldn't it Jonathan I mean then then we're in fan like that's that that's not a bold prediction that that's living in an alternate Dimension all right the Patriots not finishing last in the AFC East is living in fantasy land there you go there you go that yeah but hey the phone lines are open if that's how you feel that's how you feel one8 say8 729 3776 speaking of the New England Patriots they wrapped up the pre-season last game of the preseason happened tonight they traveled to take on the Washington commanders they lost 20 to 10 but nobody really cares who wins and loses these games because they're just a preseason but we kind of do care of how certain teams perform Let me give you an update what happened with the new Patriots jacobe brette did leave the game with the shoulder injury he was listed as questional but did not return Drake May did perform relatively well 13 of 20 126 yds passing one touchdown he did convert two third Downs in his touchdown scoring drive and as a matter of fact did have another touchdown pass that was actually taken back because of an offensive alignment uh not properly lined up but it looked like it was a good play nonetheless and I don't think the offensive where he was R up really had an impact on the play but wasn't a touchdown with that being said Jake May might have to get more in with his offensive line cuz he very well could be the opening day start if the chobi per shoulder injury supped to be more uh crucial than maybe what we know at this moment here Pi cooed up to uh I would like to say 100% he something rest question I'm not sure I'm not sure until I until I watch the is he's he's 100% our like can we hear it again because it was weird the way that that he said it right can we hear the clip again yeah one more yeah one more time Drake uh this is Gerard Mayo on will Drake may start if Jobe per can't play in week one uh I would like to sit here and say 100% he's our second best quarterback on our wrestle right now next question I'm not sure I'm not sure until I until I watch the point so I'd like to say that he's 100% our second best quarterback I I got to be honest Harrison I don't know what that means I I I yeah I I I'm not too sure about that let's as a matter of fact let's let's tap in more with Mr Mayor we got to get more depth here uh let's go to uh the sound bital and Jacobi B injury maybe give a little bit more context out we'll see tomorrow a little bit more stor next day but he said it was good and we we'll findy out wonder he's not supposed to be I in and so we're right wa to b b Arrow here Jonathan but this is going a little bich Vibes I would say yeah I don't I mean I don't think he's trying to be I don't think he's trying to lead us uh in in in a different direction than than he's actually going I don't think he's trying to play Koy I just I I think it's a weird way that he stated whether or not Drake May is in position to be the star in quarterback I I I I think they probably like I saw this quote from earlier in the day on the pregame show all right where dra Mayo about Drake May says quote I think early on he was trying to defer and just be a good teammate now he's competing to be the starting quarterback he's really kind of ramped up his preparation and production on the field and the reason I read that quote to Harrison is because I feel like that lends itself to the idea of him not starting the season as the week one starter because all right if he's if he's gone so far from the startup training camp to week three of the pre-season because he's trying to win a job and just maybe all the information that he's absorbing and the experience he's getting in such a short period of time just imagine where he'll be doing the same thing after seeing real football the first maybe three four weeks of the Season watching on the sidelines hearing the plays going over you know everything the game plan watching the film and all of that if he's come this far in just a matter of you know four or five weeks how much further along can he possibly be in four or five weeks from now and I would say it's pretty likely he'll be a whole lot further along so I I I feel like we're headed in a direction as long as Bret's okay and again we're still a couple weeks away from the start of the Season Harrison I think as long as brassette is okay the shoulders all right I I I I'm leaning in direction that they're going to go in should set earlier in the show we you and I discussed what the Norland Patriots should do and I think jro B made it pretty clear there when he said uh that he's the team's second best quarterback so jacobe B while it hasn't been named official is not uh Jobe BR seems like he will be the starting quarterback uh the Patriots one of two teams to not name their week one starter as of yet the other team the Pittsburgh Steelers Harrison Sanford Jonathan Zazzle this is game night on ESPN Radio the ESPN app in Series XM Channel 80
