You're listening to the downbeat on ninety seven to one the freak. I've been coming up with a lot of terrible Ranger things over their franchise history as we get excited and ready for game four tonight. How about in nineteen eighty three when new manager Dug the Rooster Raider introduced many unfamiliar routines to spring training in nineteen eighty three, where he would smack the same tree every day with his car. Okay, the GM at the time, Joe Klein described this hire
as having a hint of unsteadiness. The Rangers were amazing. Their whole franchise is It's just amazing. There's so many things, but yeah, more Ranger stuff. At nine, one of us will be going to the game tonight. Who will it be also expecting? Uh Scott staptcoll In as Creed reunited at three injury game last night at the crowd say hopefully we'll hear from Scott's stap at nine oh five ish, dingish morning news coming up in thirty minutes.
But right now, we do this every single Thursday at eight o'clock and you can take part in it by calling two one four or eight one seven seven one, We let you join the show with us, where we pick two NFL games each weekend and count them up. It is picks with Glenn's Picks with Glenn's picks with Glenn's picking games against the spread with the guests. Celebrity picks with Glenn's You all my friends picking games against the spread with the
guests celebrardy. Oh fantastic, it's really pretty well all right? Joined us down the Freecot Line. Every week we spin the wheel brought to you by Rodney Anderson dot com, and we get a letter. This week's letter the letter J what j celebrity will be joining us? Well, we go to the Freak Hotline to find out, ladies and gentlemen. You might remember him as a K because you know him as Knoxie. Former Rangers roving reporter Jim Knox joined us live on the Free Cut Line. Noxie, all right,
all right, all right, we are ready to roll here. How about Tim Rangers? Oh my god, what's up, Noxie? How's everybody doing on the freak awesome? Man, what a great voice to hear. What a treat KT well done? Yeah, well, the last team. The last time I think I spoke to Naxie. I was blasted out of my
brain on edibles in Denver, Colorado in the stands on live TV. Oh yeah, and it was wreaking of a lot of top smoke in marijuana people in the Great Land of Colorado. That's right, boy, I mean that is probably I don't even know what the first thing I think of with Naxie, but he did mention Colorado, so I will ask NOXI, do you have a recurring nightmares of Ralphie the Buffalo trying to run you over? I do, And I'm waiting for Dion to take a stab at running with the
Buffalo. I think he's scared about what I hear. But I'm still trying to find the cowboy who decleted me on the field quite a few years ago. I'm looking to get back there some day to check out Ralphie if he has gained any more speed. I think I was running with a like a two year old, so I was able to go backwards on her a little bit, but then the hand they were kind of caught up with me in that. It was history. After that, guys, his history. You've
made history, Naxi, that's what happened. Yeah, you almost had a you're almost kind of a wrestling vibe to sideline reporting, and you've done this like you're a journalist at heart, right, you have all that, but also just your ability to work in bits during the glory years of Rangers baseball from twenty ten to twenty thirteen or whatever those years were, that match up. I contend, and I've said this on these airwaves, and I hope we get some support this. I think you need to be in the Texas
Rangers Hall of Fame. NOXI, oh yeah, I appreciate that. At least if there's a fans Hall of Fame, I'd be open for that. I mean, there's nothing better than the DFW sports fans. Texas ranker fans are great. They got a lot of great fans out there, but problem is, no one knows them anymore. There's no one out there doing anything like that. But don you remember Don Hey, Jim, Hey, Jim,
Hey Jim Hey. How about that Rangers she keeps in touch. There's a lot of the Kookie Lady of course you passed away, and Sister Francis Zach who beated the drums. I mean, there are all a lot of good Ranger fans and a lot of great ones out there right now. I'd love to see someone go out there and highlight them a little bit more.
It adds flavor to the game. I mean baseball. It's getting a little faster, but it's always great to get out there working about ten miles from the lower part of the stadium to the top part, and you never know who you ran into. One night, we ran into Phil Michelson in the upper deck. Ralphiel Palmerro was sitting in the home run porch one time. You never know who's out there. So that's the great thing about ranger baseball. Theggie, you know, you never know Norman the Weggie. That was
the Budweiser alley right there. You know, there was one Ranger we did something. He hit a home run in that area and they had like barbecue going on. They had some guys audition out barbecue and it hit it right into the barbecue. So that was always a good spot. And then I think Prince Fielder hit a home run in the home run portion that they were playing the Astros, and an Astro fan held up her iPhone and it cracked
that iPhone right there. So there's a lot of interesting things unique things when you can walk around that stadium. It was. It was awesome, guys, and it was good seeing you guys out there as well. I love Noxie. If we need NAXI back, man, those are good times out there tearing it up in the crowd and on the college football landscape. You're the best, all right. Well, we have you on to do picks
with Glenn's. We pick NFL games, and as Katie mentioned, we always have a guest celebrity and we are honored to have Jim Knox joining us today. Normally it's Cowboys plus one game. I don't know if he told you what you were doing today or you prepared for it, but we need two. You didn't tell him two games? Yeah, okay, but you did tell him you had to pick two NFL games. So Noxie, what do you go? I'm ready? Did I just pick any two? Yeah?
Any two against the spread? You're representing the celebrities who I think are leading this thing right now. Yeah, the celebrities are nine to three. Awesome, Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go with this one. I'm picking I'm picking Philly at home beating Miami. Whoa this man? You want to know why Miami hasn't played anybody hasn't even won a game. When they played Buffalo, Buffalo beating Buffalo and they lost to Buffet, they smushed him. Was there, NOXI, yeah, I was there? Confirm
they lost that game. Nburgh. They blow Deinburgh out. But who doesn't New England? Anybody can beat New England. They only beating him twenty four to seventeen. I'm going to Philly at home Philly minus two and a half. All right, what's your second game, Naxie? Second game? We're gonna go with two teams in the cow Boys Division that are just one just struggling. The other is are they really for real? They're five hundred Washington
at the New York Giants. Love it. You're taking the Commanders. I'm taking Commanders, all right? Minus two and a Giants. They don't have anything going on, especially at quarterback. All right, Eagles and Commanders. This guy's dancing around the NFC East. Nooxie, thanks for joining us. Man, get the Ranger fans pumped up right here. How do you think this thing ends? Man? We just lost one damn game with the Rangers. Rangers clinching at home. They will clinch at home and you can count
on the fans carrying them through. I guarantee it. Let's go, Naxie. Great to hear from you, and we hope to see you soon. Man, definitely, thanks for having me and let's go Rangers. We'll talk to you guys soon. Rock on, there you go. I love it. Feel better about that loss last night. We got Noxie to cheer us on to sealing this thing at home, which means, if he's right,
we're gonna celebrate a victory tomorrow night, guys, tonight and tomorrow. And this is no offense to Noxye, but when we are brainstorming our jay names, I do want to read off my John daily text. Please do, because we went through all everything. He's like, you got John Daley. I'm like, dude, perfect, that's huge. Just read your text and what a call in tomorrow morning and pick a couple of football games. And John Daly said, I'm in doctors left hand can barely grip a club major
arthritis. And I said, oh man, holding out a good thought for you. Outside of that, hope you and the farm are doing well. Go Cowboys. So and then nothing Yeah, then nothing back. You said, can you call in pick two football games? And he told you, I'm at the doctor's office and I can't grip a gospel. All right?

He goes the hell off the phone. Mark's gonna teach Mike about escrow one day.
Okay, let's go to Danny's two and a half year old son, Malcolm in second place at six and six right highlight. We did this two days ago. I have no idea what the point spreads were. Does it really matter? He's two? Here we go, are you ready to do some football picks. You see, daddy, I see you tool you ready to choose? Okay? We have Raiders favored over the Bears by three Raiders or Bears. When you want to pick the Raiders or the Bears the Bears?
Okay, that's very good. Okay. And then we have a NFC East Divisional matchup. We have the Commanders versus the Giants. The commanders are favored by two, So commanders command or giants commanders? You want to take the commanders a giant, you're taking the giants? Okay? Had some you think Daniel Jones is going to play? Yeah? Yeah, all right? What are you going to do for the rest of the afternoon? What do you think you're gonna do today? You want to go swing? Let's do
it? All right? See hi guys, Hi guys? Do you love them? How much? Hi? Ka yay? Hi jj There you go. She's the only one worth giving some love to write? All right? Oh my god, out of nowhere, not prompted at all, was so excited. Shut her eyes lit up. Let's he thought twice about the commanders. You know, I don't want to get out of there for such a good handicapper. Being close to the lead. He's fairly indecisive until the last
second. He'll switch on you. But you got it. Bears and Bears plus three, by the way, and Commanders minus two and a half. Well we switched the Giants plus two and a half. Right, Oh yeah, yeah, he's got the Giants in this one. Now, Danny, you're tied with your two and a half year old son at six and six. What are your two picks? Man, I'm gonna pick to night's game. Uh, Jaguars at Saints. Saints are favored by one and a half in this thing. I don't see it. I think the Jags are about
to bust out. Love it. It's time. It is time. We want to see the Jaguars we've all been waiting for. We want to see them on the road to the AFC Championship, right, Mike, Yeah, I picked the Dolphins. Speaking of the Dolphins, Noxie makes a hell of a lot of sense. Eagles got trapped last week. They got trapped. They're so much better than Miami. I really believe that, dude. The Eagles are so good. There is no way they're not going to be able to be Miami by at least a field goal at home. All right,
Betting on the Dolphins is a fool's game. Mark my word talking about you. You want cowboy fans are cheering for the Dolphins is one week I'm gonna Cowboys. It's go Dolphins. Everyone agrees with that. Beat the damn Eagles. I root with my heart, I profit with my head. Boy, Mark really rubbed off on you, your your finances, your financial action change and if you weren't aware by low So it's the new drive for show put for dough. Hi lo, So I forgot the second part, So I'm
glad you wrote it down. Huh. I am also at six and six, and I am taking the Jaguars plus one and a half as well. The Saints two offensive tackles aren't playing, so love it backup offensive tackles plus getting a point and a half gotta go on to New or one is always tough there. Srevyl Lawrence is questionable, but it does look like he's gonna play Jags plus one and a half. I will also go Chargers plus five and a half over the Chiefs. The Chargers here's what we know, death
taxes and the Chargers in one score games. So I'll take the five and a half points. It's gonna be a close game. They'll hang in there. At Arrowhead, I think sloppy, clown show team, but they're gonna get there. They'll have enough. Chargers plus five and a half and I'm happy with it. Now, let's go to second to last place, Mike Siroy five to six and one, thank you or picks. A lot of
times good handicappers disagree, but often they are on the same page. I am taking the Chargers plus five and a half on the road to the Chiefs. Chargers have lost three really close games, two pretty good teams at least with the Dolphins and Cowboys. Titans are in there as well, but they haven't lost by more than five points yet. And we're getting five and a half. And four games under Brandon Staley have been Chargers Chiefs and they've all
the Chargers been leading all four of them in the fourth quarter. They only won one of those, but they play close, and the Chiefs are weird. Don't know exactly what it is, but give me the Chargers plus five and a half. I'm also on board with the little Rams minus three at the Steelers. I think the Steelers offense is bad their defense is pretty good, but I don't know if they're that all that proven as well. I think they're kind of a lucky three win team. I think the Rams are
pretty good. Cooper Cup is back, and that whole Pooka Nakua Cooper Cup weapon battery is very good in their passing game. Their running game is a mess, and they're down to Zach Moss or somebody is their Zach Evans, Zach Evans. There you go, as they've lost to Karen Williams and assorted other people. But I think the Rams are good. Chargers plus five and
a half, Rams minus three. Lock them both all right. Now, JJ's in that situation where she can go from last place to second place all with one good week, because it's pretty tight if you're not a celebrity here on picks with Glenn's right now at five and seven, JJ, who are your two picks? All right? First game to go a C Bills and Patriots. It's like Patriots is plus eight and a half. Patriots are just not doing it, Mac Jones, isn't it. They don't look like they
got anything going over there. So given the Bills for that game, Bill's minus eight and yeah, even if Josh Allen goes out there and those three picks, I think they can still get away with it. So yeah, give me the Bills versus the Patriots, Lions and Ravens. This game is going to be crazy. Looks like Ravens is minus three. I'm gonna with the Lions on this game though. Okay, the Lions are pull us out. I think they're legit. I think where everyone's talking about him and Super
Bowl a tender, Jared Goff's got them going defense is confident. Give me the Lions. Lions plus three spectacular. Jared Goff's MVP odds over the last week went from forty to one to eighteen to one. Yeah. Now we will find out the real Jared Goff when he has to play outside in December and January because his small hands can't hold the football and the cold. He's proven by the way, yeah, he has suffers from a little bit of shrinkage as well, a bit of a problem. But I think JJ going
off the beaten path there as well. Buffalo might say, and a half Detroit plus three. That is your Week seven edition, Oh picks with Glenn's picks With Glens no, our friends, we are about thirty minutes or so away from Scott's STAPs. Creede reunited last night at the ballpark, not really, and Scott's stap will call in at nine oh five. We'll see Booked nine. Well, let's say it's loose, but it looks like it's probably gonna happen. You don't think we're gonna have Scott' stap on for about ninety
seconds, we'll see coming up at nine o'clock Scott's stap of Creed. But next it's time for Dingo's Morning News. Yep, I'm gonna eat a power bar, and then when I get done with that, play some commercials, and when we come back from that, I'm going to answer the question is the sphere in Las Vegas causing problems for insomnia? Oh,
