Tire rack dot com The way tire buying should be. Hey,
(01:28):
by the way, Brady Quinn, you were at I saw
the video that popped up on social media. So you
took a test drive at the tire Rack headquarters in
South Bend.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
Oh yeah, let me give you guys a little behind
the scenes, so I'll say this much man tire Rack.
When they talk about testing their tires, they go to
the extremes, Like they have a test track where I
was out there and it was kind of like a
cloudy day in South Bend and it was it was
going to start raining. They've got their sprinkler system that's
(01:58):
that's costly on wetting the track, wetting the surface just
to be able to test out the tires in those
sorts of conditions. So it was already kind of like
a bad weather day and they were making the track
that much more I guess, I guess difficult to drive through.
So they have a couple of different cars that they
(02:20):
were using to test tires, and then a professional driver
come out. I got in there initially just to have
him kind of like show me the ropes the course,
because it's a tight track. You've got a lot of
turns and you've got to try to get up to,
you know, high speeds around these turns, and so he
was showing me kind of how you're supposed to like
sloalo them through different areas and kind of swing around.
(02:43):
And literally, after about three laps of doing it, I
was like.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
All right, I'll get out, I'll go. I almost threw up.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
I was so like motion sickness, and I don't know
how you guys are with that sort of thing, but
I had like just had something right before I'd went there,
so I was not expecting to feel that way. So
I literally got out of the car kind of smiled
and tried to like play it off. I think the
guy was trying to make me throw up or trying
to make the emotions something spin.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Then they gave me a spin on it.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
So the first you know couple times, I was maybe
a little more cautious with it, and then the last
two I kind of ripped into it. One of them,
I actually spun out and the whole car like shut
down and everything. So it was an awesome time. But
the tirec people the best man when they talk about
like going at whatever lengths possible to test tires, have
(03:35):
that knowledge and information. They do it like I've been there,
I've seen it. We all going to get there at
some point.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Yeah. I wonder if if you ran F one or
I wonder if you'd throw up, like through some of
those courses, Like if you test drove in an F
one car and we're just doing some of those windy roads,
you'd probably blow chunks all over the dashboard.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
No, it's a little different because this is like it's
so tight with some of the turns, Like you're almost
constantly turning, if that makes any sense. Yeah, Like you're
almost constantly weaving and turning with that F one. You
know you've get you get some straightaways, you get some
like longer banks. It's not quite the same, but yeah,
(04:14):
I don't think it would be. I don't think it
would be quite the same as that F one.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
I got nauseous on a kid's roller coaster with my son,
like to like no joke, probably about a month and
a half ago, and it was like one of those
little dragon coasters that kind of went around in circle
to see dragon something like whatever it's called. It's a
barf dragon.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
On a Merry Go round at the park. On God
on the swing set, we almost threw up. I started
going to high on the swing sweat set and almost
threw up on God when you got off there, When
I got off the swing set, yeah, I just I
was good because I stopped. I stopped going, I stopped swinging,
(04:54):
So I can't do I can't my stomach it's so
weak anymore. I can't really do anything.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah, it's weird. You gotta lose that. I think you
have only so many hits you can take all you
get older.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Although tire rack test track, you know, driving sounds way
better than you know, being on a merry go round
at the park.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I just wasn't sure if if the rain was planned
because it looked like it was pouring. I thought, Okay,
that's a kind of a dicey way to test some tires.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
That's pretty cool though, Yeah, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
That's awesome. That kept trying to make Brady.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Gotta be nice but it's gotta be nice being.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Brady Quinn though, and again great point.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
I mean, I call him Q. You know, y'all, y'all,
y'all know the famous one. I know, I know a
little broke Q. You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I call him Braiden.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
You call him Braiden.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
You know some people have differently.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
No, I get it, man, I'm just happy, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
I just can't wait for a potential trip. You know
what I'm saying. I just can't wait for a potential trip.
The Three Amigos here maybe.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
On you know, man, look at that.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Ireland's playing Roadblocks, Ireland's playing Australia the Women's World.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
How about that? In that ironic the irony.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Yeah, some shrimp on the barbie. I got.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
I got some boots yesterday, guys. You know, oh yeah,
are you shy in right now? I'm leaving right like well,
not right immediately after the show. I gotta go get
to the I gotta get to the gym first, so
I'll get an hour at the gym today before we
go to the airport.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
You got to put on those boots.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
I'm wearing my boots. I'm going I'm wearing my boots
to the gym, gym, beachline to the gym.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
That's a good looking it's like you'll kick your ass,
don't touch that.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
I'm doing this. I'm doing it like I'm going in
there whip my boots on.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Wait until I'm done.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Why did you get boots out here before you go
to Wyoming? Don't you think you would get a better
pair in Wyoming?
Speaker 4 (06:45):
I mean, you're assuming that there's not great boot barns
and boots here and Cali, like this is Cali, you.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Know, I know, but it's it's kind of like I'm.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Saying, I cat me a dope ass hat too. Boy,
I've been meaning to get me one, and I poor.
I mean, it's stetson yesterday. I'm so pumped up. Well,
a bad boy was made for me.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
It feels like, you know, like if you want to
get great Mexican food, I'd rather go to Tijuana than like,
you know, Saint Paul, Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
You know that's Mexico. That's offensive. And I don't even
try stand why the button didn't get hit on this.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Because I feel like you would find better cowboy equipment
at Cheyenneez. When you've got rodeos and everything else going
on as opposed to a boot barn in southern California.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
I mean you're saying that like that's a like that's
a knockoff. But this is California. Yeah, you don't travel
much to you Jonas.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Well, I listen, you guys are big fans of California,
and I get it, Like I understand.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
I'm just saying, what the way you sound right now?
That sounds a little off, Like I'm telling there's still
missions out here where I live, Like I live in Glendora, man,
Like you go a couple places over here, You're like saying, Gabriel,
like there's thell missions, like like you remember a mule
for sister Sarah and stuff like that. Like some of
(08:05):
the places around here look exactly like those type of places.
I'm would get me a pair of boots. I could
get me a pair of boots from around here, and
I guarantee you I feel authentic as hell.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I walked through a mission last week in Solvang, California,
small little to.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Which, by the way, you keep going to Mexico with this,
but you know you could be in Texas, you know,
Texas a cowboys, Yes, Cheyenne, Wyoming. It has the largest
rodeo in the world that I'll be at, that I'll
be hanging at. But you know what, I could get
that same thing here in California. All right, well listen,
and I'm going to step in my boots this morning. Kah,
(08:44):
dang it. Get me a work out here. I think
I might do. I might do squats in them bad boys.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Hell yeah, by.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
The way, you you could. I saw LeVar was repping
was it one twenty five yesterday doing shrugs with one lives?
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Got great shoulders, man, Thanks buddy. Like all that wear
and tear doesn't matter. Shoulder pads are not banging into
running backs all those years, doesn't matter. Great shoulders.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Appreciate it, just share ACKed appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Yeah, I am getting ripped up, man.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
I tell you it's I'm six months in. I say,
give me another six months.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
Like you guys ever know that guy when he like
hasn't worked out for a while and goes to the
chimn flag two days.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
It's like, yeah, man, I'm back, I'm back.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
You're like, no, you're not. No, You've been doing this
for two days. You gotta you, gotta you gonna work
a little harder, you get.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
It's why the numbers at gym's dwindle from January third
all the way to like January fifteenth. You know, do
start to dissipate a little bit because everyone's New Year's resolution.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Stuff for yeah, for a few days, and.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Then it's over.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Getting in shape though, is a journey, man, I'll tell
you what. It is, a journey now that you hit plateaus, man,
and it gets hard when you hit the plat.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Do you feel like you're more motivated just because your
body clock is gearing up for the NFL season. All
those years prepping for a football season, this is the
time of year, so now it's almost like you're back
into football mode.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
My son had a scrimmage yesterday so against Bishop of Mott,
which is a very good historical football team out here.
So I feel the football, I feel the tension of
it taking place. And then next week I'll be an
avalon New Jersey for a luncheon for Penn State. It's
(10:34):
you could feel the excitement, like you can definitely feel
the energy of the season on the horizon.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
So you're not like figuring about sitting out or anything
like that, Like You're gonna be all in, all involved,
that's what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Yeah, man, I mean I'm not coaching this year. I
don't know so, but you're a Penn stated that's not
sitting out, you know what I'm saying. Like you're you're.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
All oh wow wow, oh interesting.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yes, was like it feels like we're going at somebody there.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Yeah. No, No, And I know exactly where he's at
going about New Jersey like New Jersey. I'm I'm going
to a different part of New Jersey than the New
Jersey that he's in, though you know he's in Northern Jersey.
I'll be in Southerner.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern, three am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Do they serve LeVar Islands in Cheyenne? Is that choice
out there?
Speaker 5 (11:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (11:37):
It was?
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Yeah, I was on Long Islands last year.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Had you had one in Roswell? I figure, why not
in Cheyenne?
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Roswell? Yeah, where's Roswell? That's right?
Speaker 3 (11:48):
I was there.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
I was there. And it was that was the that
might be one of the strongest I've had. They would
only give you a two too long LeVar Island minimum.
You can only get two, and then you had to
switch to a different drink. They would not give you anymore.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Yeah, well, I mean, listen, they they do parades celebrating aliens.
It's a different world.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
And I was there during during that time. Yeah, like
they really celebrate aliens. They really have a McDonald's that
is like a mothership flying saucery. They have aliens that
are like in their signage and real like figures aliens.
(12:35):
It was just aliens everywhere. And then to find out
that I was there during the alien parade, it was well,
to say the least, a lot of aliens.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Out all right, I'm just gonna ask it, do you
believe in aliens?
Speaker 4 (12:52):
And we can go around the roat.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
I don't see why not. I really don't see why not.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
I mean to think there may be there may be
a level of intelligence living somewhere else that are sitting there,
Like I wonder if there's any type of life forms
that are out there somewhere else doing the same exact
thing we're doing. But you know, why not. There might
be another Earth somewhere else that we don't even know about,
(13:17):
and that's life is taking place on their earth the
same way it's taking place on ours.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Like you know, some people would say it's like a
different dimension or a different reality, right Jonas you and aliens.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
I don't believe what we've been told for years and
years that there are these little creatures that pop up
and you know they.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Have that big ays.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Yeah, Like, I don't believe any of that, whether it's
early artificial intelligence or whatever the case may be. There's
just way too many of these advanced objects flying around
that we've got actual proof of people that have no
agenda whatsoever, people that their agenda would be the safety
of us. You've got like, you know, people on the
(13:59):
coast of Seeing Diego, off the coast of San Diego,
seeing these ships fly in and out of water, like
these navy you know, pilots and everything. These they're they're
not in. It's not worth them and their careers to
lie about this stuff. And they've got it and we've
seen video of it.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
So all right, if we get Lee and Sam involved in.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
This, oh yeah, yeah, I believe in aliens.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Yeah, I could see that absolutely.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
Actually, I don't even know why I asked you automatically
show Yes, Sam, you're in I mean you're from Iowas,
you've probably seen some crop circles.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
Oh yeah, I've not seen a crop circle. But when
I was like in third grade, I did a report
on close encounters and.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
The very one did you have one?
Speaker 2 (14:40):
No? No, just like what a close encounter? The first, second,
and third kind are he's had a close encounter or
the bad football team as whole up.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
No, that's not true. You watch your mouth, Jonas, not
watch your mouth. Yeah, but encounter.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
In my restroom this morning with the show. Yeah, but
there was a few line objects and then the UFOs
and that that scenario. What did you eat?
Speaker 5 (15:06):
So Sam, wait, being that you're from Iowa, you've never
seen crop circles or like none of your friends are like,
oh yeah, man, there's this weird design out.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
In the cornfields just.
Speaker 6 (15:15):
Bes, I mean the crop circle thing. I saw a
documentary on how they make them, like by hand. I
don't think that those are actually UFO related. I think
those are just something board farmers. Yeah you have to
see them from the sky.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yeah, yeah you do see.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
Yeah, you like you stand on a board and you
have two ropes attached on each end, and you just
walk over the corner.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
And flatten it.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
And they're like, oh, it's where a UFO landed and
then took off again, or you know, it's like the
burnmark whatever. But there's actually people who have evidence of
maybe like a UFO landing and there's like scorched earth underneath,
and maybe that's something to moment of contact.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Watch it. I try to tell you the documentary, it's
incredible of that crash line ending in Brazil. God, I'm
telling you, wash up my spine.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Is that like country graffiti? Like what you were?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
That's the version of that's the version of it.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
That's the when you're in a small town crops you're
you're set tripping.
Speaker 6 (16:15):
You're not doing that to your own crops because it
ruins your your corn because over.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
A silo is spray paint proof, So you got to
do something else. You gotta put up crops or.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Plus, yeah, we can't waste any corn. Was if you
like crop corn.
Speaker 6 (16:31):
Crop circles are a little easier where you're growing different
kinds of grain.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Right like weed?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah, yeah, you say weed?
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Are you saying wheat, wheat wheat.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
Okay, so we too though it works we weed.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
I bet you there are some real nice weed field
tonight someone.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
Tried to burn some down, like entire Earth, thinking they
could get a high off that.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
You're just this man that's not wasting time here, Eddie.
You believe it crop circles or aliens?
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (17:10):
Yeah, I think I find it hard to believe that
we're the only thing in the entire universe that's that's
that's alive. I just got to think there's something else
out there.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
Is there the potential chance that whatever, if there is
something else out there, that we will just be severely disappointed.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Like I have this idea it's like the Predator or
something like it's this badass alien it's.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Going to kill us all. They're always they're always higher
intelligence than us, you know, it's like they're always knocking
us up, like we're like inferior beings to aliens.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
Like yeah, like maybe we're the superior ones, right like
Elon's trying to, you know, live on Mars at this point,
Like what I was if we meet them more like oh,
this is disappointing, Like they're way behind us.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
They punch it in the face.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Maybe they're just really really anti social.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Like man, this ad that encounter Rock, that's how we're
talking about Chris Rock that that that hand was definitely
a u FO to Chris Rock's face.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
Said, I think Adam Silver is a space alien.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Oh yeah, I mean there's a lot of a lot
of you know, comparables there between him and what we've
seen for sure. Okay, Adam Silver.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Why would he be one? Because he looks like.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
On yeah, or at least a drawn.
Speaker 7 (18:34):
I can't help it. I'm looking that's how he looks.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Adam So.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
He's the NBA commissioner.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Yeah, it's like I can't remember who he was. He
human like, well, he looks like he could be like
on Adams Family.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
But I won't go as far as the role you
want to play.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
If you come to Earth.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
The NBA commissioner.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Alerg the butt from like, it's.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
A good way to infiltrate us.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
You know, we can imagine it.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Reporting back, He's like, yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
Much, what language do they speak? You know?
Speaker 3 (19:13):
That's why the losing ratings out of touch.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Adam Silver's like, all right, so here's what we got.
He calls over to the Mothership and says, apparently guys
refuse to play more than sixty games in a season
and they're making three hundred million dollars on their contract.
Speaker 5 (19:29):
Yeah, we aliens can't figure out load management.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Foresee that coming.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
I plun down there, buddy, We're going to crash land
in Brazil. And he's also.
Speaker 7 (19:41):
Saying, watch out for this Kyrie Irving guy's on us.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Yeah, maybe that's why Gyrie gets suspended. It's not as
COVID beliefs. It's you know, he's going against Damiens.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
That's an interesting one of all the positions in the
world missioner, that's what the one that the Aliens are targeting.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
That could be that could be it. You know why
I think that Aliens are inferior though, because they fly
around in spaceships and they don't have vehicles that have
tire Rack tires like that's what I think they're inferior.
And speaking of which they did, I mean, but I mean,
you know, if they did, and if they did have
a radio show, they should be Yeah, they should be
a sponsored by tire Rack because we are and we
(20:20):
are broadcasting live from the Tyraq dot com studios. Ti
rack dot com will help you get there an unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommended installers tire rack dot com the way tire buying
should be. So Nick Saban is he well, no, he's
not an alien, oh okay, but greatest coach in the
(20:41):
history of college football. And he's got a little bit
of a dilemma on his hands, you know, a little
bit of a reds Yeah. Well he's got a red ass.
You know, he missed the college Football Playoff for the
second time in its existence. You know, LSU beat him
last year and won the West. George's going for a
three peat. Bryce Young is now no longer a member
(21:01):
of the team. So he's got some options at quarterback.
He's got ty Simpson, who's a red shirt freshman. He's
got Jalen Milroe who's and they've been kind of duking
it out in the spring. And then he turned to
a former Golden Domer, Tyler Buckner, and trying to pair
him with offensive coordinator Tommy Reese, another Golden Domer speaking
(21:23):
of ty Irak and South Bend, Indiana, and so Nick
Saban talked about the changes and his decisions at quarterback
this upcoming season.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
We have three guys that are competing for that position
right now. All those players are getting better, and it's
important for us that all those players get better. I
don't think anybody has actually separated themselves yet to this point,
and I don't think it's something that we're trying to rush.
I used the analogy earlier.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
You know.
Speaker 8 (21:52):
Grandma Saban used to bake the best cakes in the world,
and I used to stand by the oven when I
was a kid and say, when's this cake got to
be done? When's this cake going to be done? And
she said, if I don't let it go through and
take it out of the oven too soon, it's going
to turn to much, so it won't be a really
good cake. So I think we got to let this
sort of develop and make sure we let the cake
(22:14):
bake until somebody separates themselves.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
All right, September second is when the cake needs to
be ready to eat. So who's going to be the
cake there, Brady Quinn, I.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Don't know that it will be by then.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
I think it's really tough when you've got a three
quarterback competition going on into training camp and one of
the guys he wasn't a part of that in the spring.
Tyler Buckner, right, he transferred after the spring in May.
He's now there, but you know, you don't have as
much experience watching him compete, seeing him.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Play in the system. However, he's there because he knows
the system.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
You know, Tommy Reese formerly the offensive coordinator Notre Dame,
he's now the offensive coordinator in Alabama. Nick Saban also
talking about him during the course of SEC media days,
saying how he thinks he's a really bright, young offensive mind.
So you can understand why he brought him there, and
you can understand why Tyler Buckner followed Tommy Reese there,
because if they didn't have this sorted out out of
(23:10):
the spring, you'd have to think that Tyler Buckner has
the leg up, given that he transferred there, he knows
the system, He's got some starting experience, which is more
than the other two have. That being said, though, I
think you're going to see a scenario where Jalen Milroe,
who is such an incredible talent, I don't know that
they can not keep him or have a package for
(23:32):
him on the field. So if I had to guess
how this is going to play out, and Tyler Buckner's
there for a reason. Smart kid, He's got a lot
of talent. If he can stay healthy, he'll be able
to help them. But I think Jalen Milroe at the
quarterback position in a package or mixing in is also
a possibility. And I think they look at ty Simpson
as being one of the guys in the future.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
They really like him.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
I just I don't know if he's quite ready yet,
and especially in Tommy Reese's system that if the quarterback
able to handle it, he's gonna put a lot on you.
There's checks, there's things that you can get to with
in the offense to put you in the best possible play,
and that's what he's asking of these guys. So you know, again,
I think Bucker's got a leg up because he's already
been in the system and he's a sharp young man,
(24:15):
so he's going to be able to go in there
and execute. It's just about him developing a rapport with
the guys that he's throwing to and playing with. But
but again, because of Milroe's talent, I think you could
see both of them, especially early in the season as
this whole thing plays itself out.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Should LSU be favored or should Alabama be favored to
win the West?
Speaker 4 (24:37):
Who should be favored? You should be?
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Yeah, I think a lot of.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Guys come back, man, I mean it's kind of interesting. Well,
I'm just saying it's kind of interesting how the SEC
had to turn to Notre Dame to try and you know,
switch things up and heat up the SEC West a
little bit.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
There, Kelly, you don't go say that.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
That'll upset That'll upset a lot of you know, SEC fans.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
I'm just saying, like, you know, a whole lot of families.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
Just you know, I'm just saying, like the SEC having
to take a head coach and an OC and a
quarterback to fill out. I mean, that will frustrate a
lot of SEC fans if you say that publicans.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Now, will any of those comments be brought up to
mark Ingram on the set of Big Noon Kickoff? At
some point during the course of.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
This year, we'll sale things go, you know, if things
aren't going well, I'm not sure you can you can utilize.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
That, but just nobody notices.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
I mean, if all.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
Sudden Alabama was the number one team in the country,
You're like, you're welcome.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
So there there's how that turns.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern three am Pacific.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Hey, what's up everybody?
Speaker 9 (25:50):
It's me three time Pro Bowl of LeVar Rington and
I couldn't be more excited to announce a podcast called
Up on Game? What is up on Game? You asked,
along with my hell Pro bowler TJ. Huschman Zada and
Super Bowl champion Yep, that's right, Plexico Birds. You can
only name a show with that type of talent on it.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Up on Game.
Speaker 9 (26:10):
We're going to be sharing our real life experiences loaded
with teachable moments. Listen to Up on Game with me
lebar Arrington, TJ. Hutschman, Zada, and Plexico Birds on the
iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast from.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Now, we've got some good news and some bad news.
Can I share with you guys the bad news first
before we get to the good news. All right? You
ready for this?
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (26:39):
All right?
Speaker 4 (26:39):
Yeah? What's uping?
Speaker 3 (26:40):
All right?
Speaker 2 (26:40):
So here's the bad news. I am doing what many
people across the country are doing, ripped up my Powerball ticket,
you know played, But here's the good news. Los Palmitas
Mini Market in southern Cali is where one single ticket
(27:04):
was sold and one over one billion dollars no way
in the power ball Wow. So somebody out there, probably
in the southern California area unless they were traveling through,
went to a mini market in Los Angeles, bought one
ticket and just won themselves one billion dollars. And they
(27:25):
still haven't claimed the prize because they have no idea,
no clue what's going on. So if you're one of
those people listening on the blowtorch am five to seventy
LA Sports right now, just wants you to know if
you want to kick back a little bit of something
for us for letting you know, to check your ticket,
if you went to Los Palmita's mini market, we'd appreciate it.
So congratulations one billion dollars, Rich or whoever that person is.
(27:46):
You imagine that waking up on a Thursday and going,
I just got a billion dollars And what does that
end up being? Like five hundred million Brady after tea?
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Yeah, probably like six hundred million after taxes and had
to pay It depends on if they haven't like paid
out one in a lump sum, which I would always advise,
or if it's like through an annuity, so you can
ever a period of time.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Oh could you ever spend all that?
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Oh you could do it. I think you could do it.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
I mean the first thing you'd end up doing is
you could just, uh, you buy a sports franchise.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
That's true.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
Mike Tyson spent four hundred million, if y'all recall, I
mean he blew through four hundred You could do it
if you if you listen, If you don't understand the
value of a dollar, you can definitely lose it pretty quickly.
It's the one time expenses like you start splurging, you
start doing things that that you really believe are just
(28:40):
kind of you know, you're having a good time with it,
and you're doing what you want because you have money.
But then you start to realize that there are a
lot of extra fees connected to the things that you
did because you have a lack of understanding as to
what comes along with some of the things that you
make purchases on.
Speaker 5 (28:59):
Well, right, it's like buying a really really expensive house.
It's like, well, yeah, okay, I can afford this, but
can you afford to take care of.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
The house in the next years?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (29:09):
The car? Like you get Oh, I just felt like
getting me another lamb Bow Like okay, you gotta get
some tires from tire Rack. Yeah, I get some rims.
You know, the engine is going out. You can't just
go around the corner to Jiffy lou with with your
Lamborghini that you have right now. You know, you got
to find out where you got to go and then
(29:30):
how much does that cost? So I'm just sad you could,
in theory, definitely run through four hundred five hundred million dollars,
even though it sounds crazy to think that you could.
But you could.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Yeah, I couldn't. You could, I really couldn't. I just look,
I would still drive the same car, the same Sanford
and Sun truck.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Well, I mean that's your prerogative, but I mean you
should live a little. I mean you do only as
far as I know. You only get one You know,
you get one go at life. You might as well
do a few things that you like.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
You know, simple man, hard hat lunch, failed guy Brady
knows that.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
Yeah, but if you if you want a billion dollars
and you get five hundred million of it, you know,
you could take just take a million of it and
and be a douche like all the way. Like, just
be as crazy and as reckless as you want to be.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Just take one of them.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
Well, I would advise that just one, Just take one,
you know, going to strip club, throw up a million dollars,
don't you? I mean, hey, you know.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Right now, you know, let's see.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
What kind of crack reckless.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
John Murran showed you what what a room looks like
with a couple thousand dollars, you know, covering up the room,
going there with a million.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
How good are the narcotics at one million dollars? One
million dollar mark? Like, how good are they?
Speaker 4 (30:54):
Like Scrooge McDuck up in that strip club, Like I'll
be swimming in that joint. You see people backstroking towards
to all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Yeah, well, I think muddy rafts. You know, you know,
I think maybe at some point maybe the NFLPA might
want to consider, you know, buying out their president. You know,
maybe that maybe that could be a move. Because JC Tretder,
he was on Ross Tucker's podcast recently talking about you know,
just sort of the the issue with running backs not
(31:22):
getting what they're worth and all that, and he offered up,
you know, the potential and some advice for how to
handle this situation here was JC Tretder.
Speaker 10 (31:30):
You need to try to create as much leverage as
you possibly can in any situation. And that's the tough
thing with the franchise tag or being restricted to movement
as a decrease of your leverage. But then you have
to find creative ways to build leverage elsewhere. I think
we've seen issues now. I don't think anybody would ever
say they were fake injuries, but we've seen players who
(31:52):
didn't want to be where they currently are have injuries
that made them unable to practice and play. But you're
not able to get fined, and you're not even to
be punished for not reporting.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
So there are issues like that.
Speaker 10 (32:04):
I don't think I'm allowed to ever recommend that, but
at least publicly. But I think each player needs to
find a way to build up leverage to try to
get a fair deal. And that's really what all these
guys are looking for is to be compensated.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Fairly, problem solved, just to start taking injuries. I mean,
it feels like that I mean that's an easy Solutionaire
like that seems like that's where we're at.
Speaker 5 (32:26):
Look, this is it's a simple conversation in some ways
and it's complicated in others. Right I mean, we've we've
heard other people discuss this. Right now, the running back
position just does not have any leverage, but you could
make the case that, I mean, there's other players right
now who are trying to exercise what little leverage they have.
(32:48):
Right Zach Martin has come out and said he feels
like he's underpaid, you know, being the top guard in
the league. I think most would would agree. I mean
Madden would agree. He's got a ninety nine rating. You know,
so there's that if you want to use that as
a data point. But you know, he's being paid I
think six and a half million less than the top guard,
which is Chris Linstrom with the Atlanta Falcons in the
(33:09):
league right now. And he's saying to himself, man like
I should be compensated more. And he's going about it
by saying maybe he's not going to show up to
training camp and very similar to say Kuwan when he's
talking about, hey, I'm going to show them what I'm worth.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
By not being there.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
That's really all the leverage you have as a player
is you being able to say to them, if you
want to find someone else to replace me, good luck,
and you could pay less for them, but they're not
going to be as good as I am, and our
team will not be as good as we would be
if I was in there. And that's that, you know,
opportunity cost, that's the gap of what you get between
(33:47):
that star player and the next guy who's trying to
replace him, and any business, as Albert kind of touched on,
will tell you, you're always trying to find the most
talented people for as cheap as possible, Like that's just capitalism.
That's just how this whole system works. And it's no
different in the NFL. The difference is there's just not
many mechanisms that are in place to allow players or
(34:07):
even in the NFLPA to exercise leverage, which without going
through a really painful process, and that's potentially upsetting fans.
That's going on strike if you're talking about the players union,
that's sitting out right like almost like a little mini strike.
If you're an individual player, it's uncomfortable. You were at
saquon talking about it. He does want to do it.
(34:28):
No one wants to not play the game they love
and be able to make millions of dollars doing it.
But there also comes a time where you're saying, like, man,
I should be getting more for.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Putting myself in this position of risk.
Speaker 5 (34:41):
But unfortunately the NFLPA has time and time again, at
least under de Marie Smith back when he was the
executive director.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Now it's was a Lloyd Howell junior.
Speaker 5 (34:50):
I believe he's recently replaced him. They haven't done a
good job of saying these are the two singular issues
that we all agree on and that we I need
to get behind, and instead they've gone for you know, weed, incramitful. Sure,
that's one of them, but like six or seven things
where you've incrementally got a little better right or tried
(35:12):
to claw back some of what we lost as players
in twenty eleven.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
That's why I say we And that's the hard part
is listening to it. It's like, look at the owners.
Speaker 5 (35:21):
Every single time they come to the negotiating table for
a collective bargaining agreement, they have one or two things
they're focused on, and every single time they get them
every single time.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
And I get there's difficulty.
Speaker 5 (35:32):
With you know, thirty one owners as well as the
Green Bay Packers organization, which Mark Murphy obviously acts as
their owner. I understand thirty two guys together is a
lot easier than two thousand players. And you know, even
sometimes you're talking about guys who are in college who
aren't a part of that union yet that are going
to be when some of these issues impact them. And
(35:55):
so I get the difficulty in it. But this is
to me, at least the start of what could be
a fracture that occurs in whether it's from running backs
to offens alignment or whoever else. At some point there's
gonna be some drastic measures taken in order to exercise
their leverage. And that's the only thing they can do
(36:17):
is hold out, strike, not play. There's really not any
other mechanisms in play right now for some of these
positions and some of these players who are frustrated.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
With what they're getting compensated.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
There's a lot to it, man, and I don't have
very much to add to what you said. I think
there are complications to trying to do the right deals
when you're representing a body such as the National Football
League player. I would also say it's pretty it's pretty
(36:49):
interesting because what we've seen historically is that the owners
are going to figure out a way to be the
the bank. They're the dealer, right Like you go to
the casino, like you you may hear some chiming go off,
some some screams and hollers because somebody won. Well, why
(37:13):
do you think you only hear those screams and hollers
every so often? Because in between those screams and hollers,
you know, the dealer is winning. You know the casino
is winning. And that's kind of to me, that's kind
of how that's how the league is, and it's set up.
It's set up where the owners are going to benefit
(37:33):
and you know what, guess guess what, guess why? Because
they created it. It's their business, it's their business model,
and everyone else is just a guest at the table.
As it applies to these franchises and how the owners
handle and how they run things, and clearly it's working because,
(37:55):
as we just mentioned, you could be a horrible owner
and still sell your franchise at a record setting number.
So when you look at what takes place, what trends happen.
What what what players are getting paid? What players aren't
getting paid. Listen, these these owners are going to go
(38:21):
with where where it's supposed to be, and there's nothing.
There's nothing, I mean, there's really nothing you're going to
be able to do about it, like except your job,
because again, you can start to do the whole well,
we're going to hold out unless you can get everybody
to hold out, unless you could get everybody to strike,
(38:43):
unless you could get everybody to support one position group,
because they may feel like, well, hell they're going to
do it to the running backs position.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
They may do it to the guards position.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
They may they may do it to the defensive ends position,
they may do it to other positions, unless you can
get everybody on the same page, which what is the
same page on that? Because those numbers are going to
fluctuate and change and move and be different anyway. It's
just it's it's such a complex conversation to have.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Can I ask you a question just on the dealer
in Vegas front, because I mean the running backs at
this point, there's nothing like that analogy? Yeah, yeah, because
I do. It brings up an important point. Do you
think the dealer ever feels bad when somebody loses a hand,
like at blackjack.
Speaker 4 (39:25):
I think they do feel bad.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Okay, because I can almost guarantee you they do, because
when I was in Vegas a couple of weeks ago,
I played a couple of hands of Blackjackjack.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
I love going to be a different.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
Because white whitejack wasn't available. What you wanted me to say, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
Well white jack was playing right next year, he was
losing his asses.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
It was yeah, the equal opportunity losers at the blackjack table.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
That was just the guy sitting sitting next to name
was Jack.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
Yeah, yeah, but you guess he was off that day.
Is that what you're getting at? Is that?
Speaker 1 (40:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (40:00):
At the end of that joke, Here's here's what I
would say. I sat, I sat, I sat at a
blackjack table, and it was twenty five dollars minimums, which
is way over the top for me, and I said, okay,
I got a good feeling. I played four hands of
blackjack in maybe forty five seconds, and the look on
(40:21):
the dealer's face was almost worse than mine, because I
would I had seventeens, eighteens, I had a twenty.
Speaker 4 (40:27):
At one point he had beaten.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Oh my, like a ran to me and I just said,
like literally, I just said to the guy, well, thank
you very much. And he was like on the verge
of saying I'm sorry, but he didn't know what to say.
So I do wonder how often that happened here.
Speaker 4 (40:45):
How much money you have, God give that last bit
of money that you're going to use, and you gotta
walk away from the table. It's such a it's such
a defeating feeling. It's such an empty feeling. Yeah, the
word right, it's worse than it actually kind of feels
worse than getting broken up from. Like I can recall
the worst time I was, like somebody broke up with me,
(41:08):
and they broke up with me for one of my
friends on top of that, and that felt horrible And
it doesn't even felt right. It didn't even feel as bad,
didn't even feel as bad as as that. Like you
walk away from that table after you're given your last
dollar that you're going to use, it's it's a it's
a lonely feeling walking away from that table, like you've
(41:29):
been taking full advantage of and you.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
Knew it for your friend, you're gonna stay there, Huh.
Speaker 4 (41:35):
I mean, say, you brought it up and I was
the star player on the team and you left me
for like one of the role players man, like you know,
I guess I guess he was. He was, you know,
and he was shorter than me.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
You know, what do you get that.
Speaker 3 (41:51):
I'm not getting that anything.
Speaker 4 (41:52):
I mean, she she did, she what was she started
dating them?
Speaker 3 (41:56):
I mean maybe she couldn't handle the spotlight.
Speaker 4 (42:00):
You know. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (42:01):
I can't handle all the attention you were getting with it.
It hurt.
Speaker 4 (42:04):
I threatened him, I said, I beat your ass, like
I can't believe you do this to me. I thought
we was boys. You know, I never was that guy
ever again though, like I valanced myself close. We were
super close. We ended up going to the same college everything,
like you know, we were we were cool. We were
(42:25):
cool afterwards, like after it all settled in and then
I was kind of like, you know, I put put
my you know, game.
Speaker 3 (42:31):
Safe back on Io. This was high school. You made
it sound like it was okay.
Speaker 4 (42:39):
Oh like recent Like no, no, I thought this was
like NFL. That's how I thought. That was your point
it out. But I would never lose to somebody in
the NFL. Man. And first of all, I wouldn't even
care if somebody took if I had a chicken, a
dude took my chick, I I'd be like, you can
have her, like, you know, just keep it moving. But
high school, high school, I still have had feelings and emotions,
(43:01):
man like things matter, like your feelings could get hurt,
you know. So yeah, not not not the league. The
league would have been totally different. Like you've been like,
oh you you think you stole.
Speaker 3 (43:12):
Her from me? Like I'll let you have her. Yeah,
there you go.
Speaker 2 (43:16):
That's rough.
Speaker 3 (43:17):
Well listen hard knock life. Sometimes.
Speaker 2 (43:20):
I hope you and Larry Center has patched up your relationship.
Speaker 3 (43:24):
And Larry Flint high school together.
Speaker 4 (43:25):
No, we played in the pros, though I know.
Speaker 3 (43:29):
That has been known to happen in the league. Though
I don't want to high school.
Speaker 4 (43:34):
Trying to find trying to find who I think.
Speaker 2 (43:37):
It's find a paywall, you know, I don't know if
I can get to it here.
Speaker 3 (43:40):
His initials were CP.
Speaker 4 (43:42):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 2 (43:42):
That North Hills, Hammer and UH, and his name was
Clint Portis.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Uh damn damn. He's LeVar Arrington. I'm going That guy's
Brady Quinn. I'm Jonas Knox. You can listen to This
show is always on the iHeartRadio so happen. You can

How many you are hundreds?
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
And wherever you are making us a part of your
Thursday morning, we appreciate you doing so. We'll take you
all the way up until nine am Eastern Time. Six
o'clock Pacific, and we do it all live from the
tire rack dot Com studios. Tire rack dot com. We'll
help you get there, an unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
free road has a protection and over ten thousand recommended installers.
Tire rack dot com The way tire buying should be. Hey,
(01:28):
by the way, Brady Quinn, you were at I saw
the video that popped up on social media. So you
took a test drive at the tire Rack headquarters in
South Bend.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
Oh yeah, let me give you guys a little behind
the scenes, so I'll say this much man tire Rack.
When they talk about testing their tires, they go to
the extremes, Like they have a test track where I
was out there and it was kind of like a
cloudy day in South Bend and it was it was
going to start raining. They've got their sprinkler system that's
(01:58):
that's costly on wetting the track, wetting the surface just
to be able to test out the tires in those
sorts of conditions. So it was already kind of like
a bad weather day and they were making the track
that much more I guess, I guess difficult to drive through.
So they have a couple of different cars that they
(02:20):
were using to test tires, and then a professional driver
come out. I got in there initially just to have
him kind of like show me the ropes the course,
because it's a tight track. You've got a lot of
turns and you've got to try to get up to,
you know, high speeds around these turns, and so he
was showing me kind of how you're supposed to like
sloalo them through different areas and kind of swing around.
(02:43):
And literally, after about three laps of doing it, I
was like.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
All right, I'll get out, I'll go. I almost threw up.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
I was so like motion sickness, and I don't know
how you guys are with that sort of thing, but
I had like just had something right before I'd went there,
so I was not expecting to feel that way. So
I literally got out of the car kind of smiled
and tried to like play it off. I think the
guy was trying to make me throw up or trying
to make the emotions something spin.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Then they gave me a spin on it.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
So the first you know couple times, I was maybe
a little more cautious with it, and then the last
two I kind of ripped into it. One of them,
I actually spun out and the whole car like shut
down and everything. So it was an awesome time. But
the tirec people the best man when they talk about
like going at whatever lengths possible to test tires, have
(03:35):
that knowledge and information. They do it like I've been there,
I've seen it. We all going to get there at
some point.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Yeah. I wonder if if you ran F one or
I wonder if you'd throw up, like through some of
those courses, Like if you test drove in an F
one car and we're just doing some of those windy roads,
you'd probably blow chunks all over the dashboard.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
No, it's a little different because this is like it's
so tight with some of the turns, Like you're almost
constantly turning, if that makes any sense. Yeah, Like you're
almost constantly weaving and turning with that F one. You
know you've get you get some straightaways, you get some
like longer banks. It's not quite the same, but yeah,
(04:14):
I don't think it would be. I don't think it
would be quite the same as that F one.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
I got nauseous on a kid's roller coaster with my son,
like to like no joke, probably about a month and
a half ago, and it was like one of those
little dragon coasters that kind of went around in circle
to see dragon something like whatever it's called. It's a
barf dragon.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
On a Merry Go round at the park. On God
on the swing set, we almost threw up. I started
going to high on the swing sweat set and almost
threw up on God when you got off there, When
I got off the swing set, yeah, I just I
was good because I stopped. I stopped going, I stopped swinging,
(04:54):
So I can't do I can't my stomach it's so
weak anymore. I can't really do anything.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah, it's weird. You gotta lose that. I think you
have only so many hits you can take all you
get older.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Although tire rack test track, you know, driving sounds way
better than you know, being on a merry go round
at the park.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I just wasn't sure if if the rain was planned
because it looked like it was pouring. I thought, Okay,
that's a kind of a dicey way to test some tires.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
That's pretty cool though, Yeah, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
That's awesome. That kept trying to make Brady.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Gotta be nice but it's gotta be nice being.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Brady Quinn though, and again great point.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
I mean, I call him Q. You know, y'all, y'all,
y'all know the famous one. I know, I know a
little broke Q. You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I call him Braiden.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
You call him Braiden.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
You know some people have differently.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
No, I get it, man, I'm just happy, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
I just can't wait for a potential trip. You know
what I'm saying. I just can't wait for a potential trip.
The Three Amigos here maybe.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
On you know, man, look at that.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Ireland's playing Roadblocks, Ireland's playing Australia the Women's World.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
How about that? In that ironic the irony.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Yeah, some shrimp on the barbie. I got.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
I got some boots yesterday, guys. You know, oh yeah,
are you shy in right now? I'm leaving right like well,
not right immediately after the show. I gotta go get
to the I gotta get to the gym first, so
I'll get an hour at the gym today before we
go to the airport.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
You got to put on those boots.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
I'm wearing my boots. I'm going I'm wearing my boots
to the gym, gym, beachline to the gym.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
That's a good looking it's like you'll kick your ass,
don't touch that.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
I'm doing this. I'm doing it like I'm going in
there whip my boots on.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Wait until I'm done.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Why did you get boots out here before you go
to Wyoming? Don't you think you would get a better
pair in Wyoming?
Speaker 4 (06:45):
I mean, you're assuming that there's not great boot barns
and boots here and Cali, like this is Cali, you.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Know, I know, but it's it's kind of like I'm.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Saying, I cat me a dope ass hat too. Boy,
I've been meaning to get me one, and I poor.
I mean, it's stetson yesterday. I'm so pumped up. Well,
a bad boy was made for me.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
It feels like, you know, like if you want to
get great Mexican food, I'd rather go to Tijuana than like,
you know, Saint Paul, Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
You know that's Mexico. That's offensive. And I don't even
try stand why the button didn't get hit on this.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Because I feel like you would find better cowboy equipment
at Cheyenneez. When you've got rodeos and everything else going
on as opposed to a boot barn in southern California.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
I mean you're saying that like that's a like that's
a knockoff. But this is California. Yeah, you don't travel
much to you Jonas.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Well, I listen, you guys are big fans of California,
and I get it, Like I understand.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
I'm just saying, what the way you sound right now?
That sounds a little off, Like I'm telling there's still
missions out here where I live, Like I live in Glendora, man,
Like you go a couple places over here, You're like saying, Gabriel,
like there's thell missions, like like you remember a mule
for sister Sarah and stuff like that. Like some of
(08:05):
the places around here look exactly like those type of places.
I'm would get me a pair of boots. I could
get me a pair of boots from around here, and
I guarantee you I feel authentic as hell.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I walked through a mission last week in Solvang, California,
small little to.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Which, by the way, you keep going to Mexico with this,
but you know you could be in Texas, you know,
Texas a cowboys, Yes, Cheyenne, Wyoming. It has the largest
rodeo in the world that I'll be at, that I'll
be hanging at. But you know what, I could get
that same thing here in California. All right, well listen,
and I'm going to step in my boots this morning. Kah,
(08:44):
dang it. Get me a work out here. I think
I might do. I might do squats in them bad boys.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Hell yeah, by.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
The way, you you could. I saw LeVar was repping
was it one twenty five yesterday doing shrugs with one lives?
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Got great shoulders, man, Thanks buddy. Like all that wear
and tear doesn't matter. Shoulder pads are not banging into
running backs all those years, doesn't matter. Great shoulders.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Appreciate it, just share ACKed appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Yeah, I am getting ripped up, man.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
I tell you it's I'm six months in. I say,
give me another six months.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
Like you guys ever know that guy when he like
hasn't worked out for a while and goes to the
chimn flag two days.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
It's like, yeah, man, I'm back, I'm back.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
You're like, no, you're not. No, You've been doing this
for two days. You gotta you, gotta you gonna work
a little harder, you get.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
It's why the numbers at gym's dwindle from January third
all the way to like January fifteenth. You know, do
start to dissipate a little bit because everyone's New Year's resolution.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Stuff for yeah, for a few days, and.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Then it's over.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Getting in shape though, is a journey, man, I'll tell
you what. It is, a journey now that you hit plateaus, man,
and it gets hard when you hit the plat.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Do you feel like you're more motivated just because your
body clock is gearing up for the NFL season. All
those years prepping for a football season, this is the
time of year, so now it's almost like you're back
into football mode.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
My son had a scrimmage yesterday so against Bishop of Mott,
which is a very good historical football team out here.
So I feel the football, I feel the tension of
it taking place. And then next week I'll be an
avalon New Jersey for a luncheon for Penn State. It's
(10:34):
you could feel the excitement, like you can definitely feel
the energy of the season on the horizon.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
So you're not like figuring about sitting out or anything
like that, Like You're gonna be all in, all involved,
that's what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Yeah, man, I mean I'm not coaching this year. I
don't know so, but you're a Penn stated that's not
sitting out, you know what I'm saying. Like you're you're.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
All oh wow wow, oh interesting.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yes, was like it feels like we're going at somebody there.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Yeah. No, No, And I know exactly where he's at
going about New Jersey like New Jersey. I'm I'm going
to a different part of New Jersey than the New
Jersey that he's in, though you know he's in Northern Jersey.
I'll be in Southerner.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern, three am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Do they serve LeVar Islands in Cheyenne? Is that choice
out there?
Speaker 5 (11:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (11:37):
It was?
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Yeah, I was on Long Islands last year.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Had you had one in Roswell? I figure, why not
in Cheyenne?
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Roswell? Yeah, where's Roswell? That's right?
Speaker 3 (11:48):
I was there.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
I was there. And it was that was the that
might be one of the strongest I've had. They would
only give you a two too long LeVar Island minimum.
You can only get two, and then you had to
switch to a different drink. They would not give you anymore.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Yeah, well, I mean, listen, they they do parades celebrating aliens.
It's a different world.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
And I was there during during that time. Yeah, like
they really celebrate aliens. They really have a McDonald's that
is like a mothership flying saucery. They have aliens that
are like in their signage and real like figures aliens.
(12:35):
It was just aliens everywhere. And then to find out
that I was there during the alien parade, it was well,
to say the least, a lot of aliens.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Out all right, I'm just gonna ask it, do you
believe in aliens?
Speaker 4 (12:52):
And we can go around the roat.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
I don't see why not. I really don't see why not.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
I mean to think there may be there may be
a level of intelligence living somewhere else that are sitting there,
Like I wonder if there's any type of life forms
that are out there somewhere else doing the same exact
thing we're doing. But you know, why not. There might
be another Earth somewhere else that we don't even know about,
(13:17):
and that's life is taking place on their earth the
same way it's taking place on ours.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Like you know, some people would say it's like a
different dimension or a different reality, right Jonas you and aliens.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
I don't believe what we've been told for years and
years that there are these little creatures that pop up
and you know they.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Have that big ays.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Yeah, Like, I don't believe any of that, whether it's
early artificial intelligence or whatever the case may be. There's
just way too many of these advanced objects flying around
that we've got actual proof of people that have no
agenda whatsoever, people that their agenda would be the safety
of us. You've got like, you know, people on the
(13:59):
coast of Seeing Diego, off the coast of San Diego,
seeing these ships fly in and out of water, like
these navy you know, pilots and everything. These they're they're
not in. It's not worth them and their careers to
lie about this stuff. And they've got it and we've
seen video of it.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
So all right, if we get Lee and Sam involved in.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
This, oh yeah, yeah, I believe in aliens.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Yeah, I could see that absolutely.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
Actually, I don't even know why I asked you automatically
show Yes, Sam, you're in I mean you're from Iowas,
you've probably seen some crop circles.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
Oh yeah, I've not seen a crop circle. But when
I was like in third grade, I did a report
on close encounters and.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
The very one did you have one?
Speaker 2 (14:40):
No? No, just like what a close encounter? The first, second,
and third kind are he's had a close encounter or
the bad football team as whole up.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
No, that's not true. You watch your mouth, Jonas, not
watch your mouth. Yeah, but encounter.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
In my restroom this morning with the show. Yeah, but
there was a few line objects and then the UFOs
and that that scenario. What did you eat?
Speaker 5 (15:06):
So Sam, wait, being that you're from Iowa, you've never
seen crop circles or like none of your friends are like,
oh yeah, man, there's this weird design out.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
In the cornfields just.
Speaker 6 (15:15):
Bes, I mean the crop circle thing. I saw a
documentary on how they make them, like by hand. I
don't think that those are actually UFO related. I think
those are just something board farmers. Yeah you have to
see them from the sky.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yeah, yeah you do see.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
Yeah, you like you stand on a board and you
have two ropes attached on each end, and you just
walk over the corner.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
And flatten it.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
And they're like, oh, it's where a UFO landed and
then took off again, or you know, it's like the
burnmark whatever. But there's actually people who have evidence of
maybe like a UFO landing and there's like scorched earth underneath,
and maybe that's something to moment of contact.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Watch it. I try to tell you the documentary, it's
incredible of that crash line ending in Brazil. God, I'm
telling you, wash up my spine.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Is that like country graffiti? Like what you were?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
That's the version of that's the version of it.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
That's the when you're in a small town crops you're
you're set tripping.
Speaker 6 (16:15):
You're not doing that to your own crops because it
ruins your your corn because over.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
A silo is spray paint proof, So you got to
do something else. You gotta put up crops or.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Plus, yeah, we can't waste any corn. Was if you
like crop corn.
Speaker 6 (16:31):
Crop circles are a little easier where you're growing different
kinds of grain.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Right like weed?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah, yeah, you say weed?
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Are you saying wheat, wheat wheat.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
Okay, so we too though it works we weed.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
I bet you there are some real nice weed field
tonight someone.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
Tried to burn some down, like entire Earth, thinking they
could get a high off that.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
You're just this man that's not wasting time here, Eddie.
You believe it crop circles or aliens?
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (17:10):
Yeah, I think I find it hard to believe that
we're the only thing in the entire universe that's that's
that's alive. I just got to think there's something else
out there.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
Is there the potential chance that whatever, if there is
something else out there, that we will just be severely disappointed.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Like I have this idea it's like the Predator or
something like it's this badass alien it's.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Going to kill us all. They're always they're always higher
intelligence than us, you know, it's like they're always knocking
us up, like we're like inferior beings to aliens.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
Like yeah, like maybe we're the superior ones, right like
Elon's trying to, you know, live on Mars at this point,
Like what I was if we meet them more like oh,
this is disappointing, Like they're way behind us.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
They punch it in the face.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Maybe they're just really really anti social.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Like man, this ad that encounter Rock, that's how we're
talking about Chris Rock that that that hand was definitely
a u FO to Chris Rock's face.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
Said, I think Adam Silver is a space alien.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Oh yeah, I mean there's a lot of a lot
of you know, comparables there between him and what we've
seen for sure. Okay, Adam Silver.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Why would he be one? Because he looks like.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
On yeah, or at least a drawn.
Speaker 7 (18:34):
I can't help it. I'm looking that's how he looks.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Adam So.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
He's the NBA commissioner.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Yeah, it's like I can't remember who he was. He
human like, well, he looks like he could be like
on Adams Family.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
But I won't go as far as the role you
want to play.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
If you come to Earth.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
The NBA commissioner.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Alerg the butt from like, it's.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
A good way to infiltrate us.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
You know, we can imagine it.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Reporting back, He's like, yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
Much, what language do they speak? You know?
Speaker 3 (19:13):
That's why the losing ratings out of touch.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Adam Silver's like, all right, so here's what we got.
He calls over to the Mothership and says, apparently guys
refuse to play more than sixty games in a season
and they're making three hundred million dollars on their contract.
Speaker 5 (19:29):
Yeah, we aliens can't figure out load management.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Foresee that coming.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
I plun down there, buddy, We're going to crash land
in Brazil. And he's also.
Speaker 7 (19:41):
Saying, watch out for this Kyrie Irving guy's on us.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Yeah, maybe that's why Gyrie gets suspended. It's not as
COVID beliefs. It's you know, he's going against Damiens.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
That's an interesting one of all the positions in the
world missioner, that's what the one that the Aliens are targeting.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
That could be that could be it. You know why
I think that Aliens are inferior though, because they fly
around in spaceships and they don't have vehicles that have
tire Rack tires like that's what I think they're inferior.
And speaking of which they did, I mean, but I mean,
you know, if they did, and if they did have
a radio show, they should be Yeah, they should be
a sponsored by tire Rack because we are and we
(20:20):
are broadcasting live from the Tyraq dot com studios. Ti
rack dot com will help you get there an unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommended installers tire rack dot com the way tire buying
should be. So Nick Saban is he well, no, he's
not an alien, oh okay, but greatest coach in the
(20:41):
history of college football. And he's got a little bit
of a dilemma on his hands, you know, a little
bit of a reds Yeah. Well he's got a red ass.
You know, he missed the college Football Playoff for the
second time in its existence. You know, LSU beat him
last year and won the West. George's going for a
three peat. Bryce Young is now no longer a member
(21:01):
of the team. So he's got some options at quarterback.
He's got ty Simpson, who's a red shirt freshman. He's
got Jalen Milroe who's and they've been kind of duking
it out in the spring. And then he turned to
a former Golden Domer, Tyler Buckner, and trying to pair
him with offensive coordinator Tommy Reese, another Golden Domer speaking
(21:23):
of ty Irak and South Bend, Indiana, and so Nick
Saban talked about the changes and his decisions at quarterback
this upcoming season.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
We have three guys that are competing for that position
right now. All those players are getting better, and it's
important for us that all those players get better. I
don't think anybody has actually separated themselves yet to this point,
and I don't think it's something that we're trying to rush.
I used the analogy earlier.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
You know.
Speaker 8 (21:52):
Grandma Saban used to bake the best cakes in the world,
and I used to stand by the oven when I
was a kid and say, when's this cake got to
be done? When's this cake going to be done? And
she said, if I don't let it go through and
take it out of the oven too soon, it's going
to turn to much, so it won't be a really
good cake. So I think we got to let this
sort of develop and make sure we let the cake
(22:14):
bake until somebody separates themselves.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
All right, September second is when the cake needs to
be ready to eat. So who's going to be the
cake there, Brady Quinn, I.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Don't know that it will be by then.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
I think it's really tough when you've got a three
quarterback competition going on into training camp and one of
the guys he wasn't a part of that in the spring.
Tyler Buckner, right, he transferred after the spring in May.
He's now there, but you know, you don't have as
much experience watching him compete, seeing him.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Play in the system. However, he's there because he knows
the system.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
You know, Tommy Reese formerly the offensive coordinator Notre Dame,
he's now the offensive coordinator in Alabama. Nick Saban also
talking about him during the course of SEC media days,
saying how he thinks he's a really bright, young offensive mind.
So you can understand why he brought him there, and
you can understand why Tyler Buckner followed Tommy Reese there,
because if they didn't have this sorted out out of
(23:10):
the spring, you'd have to think that Tyler Buckner has
the leg up, given that he transferred there, he knows
the system, He's got some starting experience, which is more
than the other two have. That being said, though, I
think you're going to see a scenario where Jalen Milroe,
who is such an incredible talent, I don't know that
they can not keep him or have a package for
(23:32):
him on the field. So if I had to guess
how this is going to play out, and Tyler Buckner's
there for a reason. Smart kid, He's got a lot
of talent. If he can stay healthy, he'll be able
to help them. But I think Jalen Milroe at the
quarterback position in a package or mixing in is also
a possibility. And I think they look at ty Simpson
as being one of the guys in the future.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
They really like him.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
I just I don't know if he's quite ready yet,
and especially in Tommy Reese's system that if the quarterback
able to handle it, he's gonna put a lot on you.
There's checks, there's things that you can get to with
in the offense to put you in the best possible play,
and that's what he's asking of these guys. So you know, again,
I think Bucker's got a leg up because he's already
been in the system and he's a sharp young man,
(24:15):
so he's going to be able to go in there
and execute. It's just about him developing a rapport with
the guys that he's throwing to and playing with. But
but again, because of Milroe's talent, I think you could
see both of them, especially early in the season as
this whole thing plays itself out.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Should LSU be favored or should Alabama be favored to
win the West?
Speaker 4 (24:37):
Who should be favored? You should be?
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Yeah, I think a lot of.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Guys come back, man, I mean it's kind of interesting. Well,
I'm just saying it's kind of interesting how the SEC
had to turn to Notre Dame to try and you know,
switch things up and heat up the SEC West a
little bit.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
There, Kelly, you don't go say that.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
That'll upset That'll upset a lot of you know, SEC fans.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
I'm just saying, like, you know, a whole lot of families.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
Just you know, I'm just saying, like the SEC having
to take a head coach and an OC and a
quarterback to fill out. I mean, that will frustrate a
lot of SEC fans if you say that publicans.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Now, will any of those comments be brought up to
mark Ingram on the set of Big Noon Kickoff? At
some point during the course of.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
This year, we'll sale things go, you know, if things
aren't going well, I'm not sure you can you can utilize.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
That, but just nobody notices.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
I mean, if all.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
Sudden Alabama was the number one team in the country,
You're like, you're welcome.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
So there there's how that turns.

Speaker 9 (25:50):
It's me three time Pro Bowl of LeVar Rington and
I couldn't be more excited to announce a podcast called
Up on Game? What is up on Game? You asked,
along with my hell Pro bowler TJ. Huschman Zada and
Super Bowl champion Yep, that's right, Plexico Birds. You can
only name a show with that type of talent on it.
Speaker 3 (26:09):

lebar Arrington, TJ. Hutschman, Zada, and Plexico Birds on the
iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast from.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Now, we've got some good news and some bad news.
Can I share with you guys the bad news first
before we get to the good news. All right? You
ready for this?
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (26:39):
All right?
Speaker 4 (26:39):
Yeah? What's uping?
Speaker 3 (26:40):
All right?
Speaker 2 (26:40):
So here's the bad news. I am doing what many
people across the country are doing, ripped up my Powerball ticket,
you know played, But here's the good news. Los Palmitas
Mini Market in southern Cali is where one single ticket
(27:04):
was sold and one over one billion dollars no way
in the power ball Wow. So somebody out there, probably
in the southern California area unless they were traveling through,
went to a mini market in Los Angeles, bought one
ticket and just won themselves one billion dollars. And they
(27:25):
still haven't claimed the prize because they have no idea,
no clue what's going on. So if you're one of
those people listening on the blowtorch am five to seventy
LA Sports right now, just wants you to know if
you want to kick back a little bit of something
for us for letting you know, to check your ticket,
if you went to Los Palmita's mini market, we'd appreciate it.
So congratulations one billion dollars, Rich or whoever that person is.
(27:46):
You imagine that waking up on a Thursday and going,
I just got a billion dollars And what does that
end up being? Like five hundred million Brady after tea?
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Yeah, probably like six hundred million after taxes and had
to pay It depends on if they haven't like paid
out one in a lump sum, which I would always advise,
or if it's like through an annuity, so you can
ever a period of time.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Oh could you ever spend all that?
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Oh you could do it. I think you could do it.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
I mean the first thing you'd end up doing is
you could just, uh, you buy a sports franchise.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
That's true.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
Mike Tyson spent four hundred million, if y'all recall, I
mean he blew through four hundred You could do it
if you if you listen, If you don't understand the
value of a dollar, you can definitely lose it pretty quickly.
It's the one time expenses like you start splurging, you
start doing things that that you really believe are just
(28:40):
kind of you know, you're having a good time with it,
and you're doing what you want because you have money.
But then you start to realize that there are a
lot of extra fees connected to the things that you
did because you have a lack of understanding as to
what comes along with some of the things that you
make purchases on.
Speaker 5 (28:59):
Well, right, it's like buying a really really expensive house.
It's like, well, yeah, okay, I can afford this, but
can you afford to take care of.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
The house in the next years?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (29:09):
The car? Like you get Oh, I just felt like
getting me another lamb Bow Like okay, you gotta get
some tires from tire Rack. Yeah, I get some rims.
You know, the engine is going out. You can't just
go around the corner to Jiffy lou with with your
Lamborghini that you have right now. You know, you got
to find out where you got to go and then
(29:30):
how much does that cost? So I'm just sad you could,
in theory, definitely run through four hundred five hundred million dollars,
even though it sounds crazy to think that you could.
But you could.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Yeah, I couldn't. You could, I really couldn't. I just look,
I would still drive the same car, the same Sanford
and Sun truck.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Well, I mean that's your prerogative, but I mean you
should live a little. I mean you do only as
far as I know. You only get one You know,
you get one go at life. You might as well
do a few things that you like.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
You know, simple man, hard hat lunch, failed guy Brady
knows that.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
Yeah, but if you if you want a billion dollars
and you get five hundred million of it, you know,
you could take just take a million of it and
and be a douche like all the way. Like, just
be as crazy and as reckless as you want to be.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Just take one of them.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
Well, I would advise that just one, Just take one,
you know, going to strip club, throw up a million dollars,
don't you? I mean, hey, you know.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Right now, you know, let's see.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
What kind of crack reckless.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
John Murran showed you what what a room looks like
with a couple thousand dollars, you know, covering up the room,
going there with a million.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
How good are the narcotics at one million dollars? One
million dollar mark? Like, how good are they?
Speaker 4 (30:54):
Like Scrooge McDuck up in that strip club, Like I'll
be swimming in that joint. You see people backstroking towards
to all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Yeah, well, I think muddy rafts. You know, you know,
I think maybe at some point maybe the NFLPA might
want to consider, you know, buying out their president. You know,
maybe that maybe that could be a move. Because JC Tretder,
he was on Ross Tucker's podcast recently talking about you know,
just sort of the the issue with running backs not
(31:22):
getting what they're worth and all that, and he offered up,
you know, the potential and some advice for how to
handle this situation here was JC Tretder.
Speaker 10 (31:30):
You need to try to create as much leverage as
you possibly can in any situation. And that's the tough
thing with the franchise tag or being restricted to movement
as a decrease of your leverage. But then you have
to find creative ways to build leverage elsewhere. I think
we've seen issues now. I don't think anybody would ever
say they were fake injuries, but we've seen players who
(31:52):
didn't want to be where they currently are have injuries
that made them unable to practice and play. But you're
not able to get fined, and you're not even to
be punished for not reporting.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
So there are issues like that.
Speaker 10 (32:04):
I don't think I'm allowed to ever recommend that, but
at least publicly. But I think each player needs to
find a way to build up leverage to try to
get a fair deal. And that's really what all these
guys are looking for is to be compensated.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Fairly, problem solved, just to start taking injuries. I mean,
it feels like that I mean that's an easy Solutionaire
like that seems like that's where we're at.
Speaker 5 (32:26):
Look, this is it's a simple conversation in some ways
and it's complicated in others. Right I mean, we've we've
heard other people discuss this. Right now, the running back
position just does not have any leverage, but you could
make the case that, I mean, there's other players right
now who are trying to exercise what little leverage they have.
(32:48):
Right Zach Martin has come out and said he feels
like he's underpaid, you know, being the top guard in
the league. I think most would would agree. I mean
Madden would agree. He's got a ninety nine rating. You know,
so there's that if you want to use that as
a data point. But you know, he's being paid I
think six and a half million less than the top guard,
which is Chris Linstrom with the Atlanta Falcons in the
(33:09):
league right now. And he's saying to himself, man like
I should be compensated more. And he's going about it
by saying maybe he's not going to show up to
training camp and very similar to say Kuwan when he's
talking about, hey, I'm going to show them what I'm worth.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
By not being there.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
That's really all the leverage you have as a player
is you being able to say to them, if you
want to find someone else to replace me, good luck,
and you could pay less for them, but they're not
going to be as good as I am, and our
team will not be as good as we would be
if I was in there. And that's that, you know,
opportunity cost, that's the gap of what you get between
(33:47):
that star player and the next guy who's trying to
replace him, and any business, as Albert kind of touched on,
will tell you, you're always trying to find the most
talented people for as cheap as possible, Like that's just capitalism.
That's just how this whole system works. And it's no
different in the NFL. The difference is there's just not
many mechanisms that are in place to allow players or
(34:07):
even in the NFLPA to exercise leverage, which without going
through a really painful process, and that's potentially upsetting fans.
That's going on strike if you're talking about the players union,
that's sitting out right like almost like a little mini strike.
If you're an individual player, it's uncomfortable. You were at
saquon talking about it. He does want to do it.
(34:28):
No one wants to not play the game they love
and be able to make millions of dollars doing it.
But there also comes a time where you're saying, like, man,
I should be getting more for.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Putting myself in this position of risk.
Speaker 5 (34:41):
But unfortunately the NFLPA has time and time again, at
least under de Marie Smith back when he was the
executive director.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Now it's was a Lloyd Howell junior.
Speaker 5 (34:50):
I believe he's recently replaced him. They haven't done a
good job of saying these are the two singular issues
that we all agree on and that we I need
to get behind, and instead they've gone for you know, weed, incramitful. Sure,
that's one of them, but like six or seven things
where you've incrementally got a little better right or tried
(35:12):
to claw back some of what we lost as players
in twenty eleven.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
That's why I say we And that's the hard part
is listening to it. It's like, look at the owners.
Speaker 5 (35:21):
Every single time they come to the negotiating table for
a collective bargaining agreement, they have one or two things
they're focused on, and every single time they get them
every single time.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
And I get there's difficulty.
Speaker 5 (35:32):
With you know, thirty one owners as well as the
Green Bay Packers organization, which Mark Murphy obviously acts as
their owner. I understand thirty two guys together is a
lot easier than two thousand players. And you know, even
sometimes you're talking about guys who are in college who
aren't a part of that union yet that are going
to be when some of these issues impact them. And
(35:55):
so I get the difficulty in it. But this is
to me, at least the start of what could be
a fracture that occurs in whether it's from running backs
to offens alignment or whoever else. At some point there's
gonna be some drastic measures taken in order to exercise
their leverage. And that's the only thing they can do
(36:17):
is hold out, strike, not play. There's really not any
other mechanisms in play right now for some of these
positions and some of these players who are frustrated.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
With what they're getting compensated.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
There's a lot to it, man, and I don't have
very much to add to what you said. I think
there are complications to trying to do the right deals
when you're representing a body such as the National Football
League player. I would also say it's pretty it's pretty
(36:49):
interesting because what we've seen historically is that the owners
are going to figure out a way to be the
the bank. They're the dealer, right Like you go to
the casino, like you you may hear some chiming go off,
some some screams and hollers because somebody won. Well, why
(37:13):
do you think you only hear those screams and hollers
every so often? Because in between those screams and hollers,
you know, the dealer is winning. You know the casino
is winning. And that's kind of to me, that's kind
of how that's how the league is, and it's set up.
It's set up where the owners are going to benefit
(37:33):
and you know what, guess guess what, guess why? Because
they created it. It's their business, it's their business model,
and everyone else is just a guest at the table.
As it applies to these franchises and how the owners
handle and how they run things, and clearly it's working because,
(37:55):
as we just mentioned, you could be a horrible owner
and still sell your franchise at a record setting number.
So when you look at what takes place, what trends happen.
What what what players are getting paid? What players aren't
getting paid. Listen, these these owners are going to go
(38:21):
with where where it's supposed to be, and there's nothing.
There's nothing, I mean, there's really nothing you're going to
be able to do about it, like except your job,
because again, you can start to do the whole well,
we're going to hold out unless you can get everybody
to hold out, unless you could get everybody to strike,
(38:43):
unless you could get everybody to support one position group,
because they may feel like, well, hell they're going to
do it to the running backs position.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
They may do it to the guards position.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
They may they may do it to the defensive ends position,
they may do it to other positions, unless you can
get everybody on the same page, which what is the
same page on that? Because those numbers are going to
fluctuate and change and move and be different anyway. It's
just it's it's such a complex conversation to have.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Can I ask you a question just on the dealer
in Vegas front, because I mean the running backs at
this point, there's nothing like that analogy? Yeah, yeah, because
I do. It brings up an important point. Do you
think the dealer ever feels bad when somebody loses a hand,
like at blackjack.
Speaker 4 (39:25):
I think they do feel bad.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Okay, because I can almost guarantee you they do, because
when I was in Vegas a couple of weeks ago,
I played a couple of hands of Blackjackjack.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
I love going to be a different.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
Because white whitejack wasn't available. What you wanted me to say, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
Well white jack was playing right next year, he was
losing his asses.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
It was yeah, the equal opportunity losers at the blackjack table.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
That was just the guy sitting sitting next to name
was Jack.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
Yeah, yeah, but you guess he was off that day.
Is that what you're getting at? Is that?
Speaker 1 (40:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (40:00):
At the end of that joke, Here's here's what I
would say. I sat, I sat, I sat at a
blackjack table, and it was twenty five dollars minimums, which
is way over the top for me, and I said, okay,
I got a good feeling. I played four hands of
blackjack in maybe forty five seconds, and the look on
(40:21):
the dealer's face was almost worse than mine, because I
would I had seventeens, eighteens, I had a twenty.
Speaker 4 (40:27):
At one point he had beaten.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Oh my, like a ran to me and I just said,
like literally, I just said to the guy, well, thank
you very much. And he was like on the verge
of saying I'm sorry, but he didn't know what to say.
So I do wonder how often that happened here.
Speaker 4 (40:45):
How much money you have, God give that last bit
of money that you're going to use, and you gotta
walk away from the table. It's such a it's such
a defeating feeling. It's such an empty feeling. Yeah, the
word right, it's worse than it actually kind of feels
worse than getting broken up from. Like I can recall
the worst time I was, like somebody broke up with me,
(41:08):
and they broke up with me for one of my
friends on top of that, and that felt horrible And
it doesn't even felt right. It didn't even feel as bad,
didn't even feel as bad as as that. Like you
walk away from that table after you're given your last
dollar that you're going to use, it's it's a it's
a lonely feeling walking away from that table, like you've
(41:29):
been taking full advantage of and you.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
Knew it for your friend, you're gonna stay there, Huh.
Speaker 4 (41:35):
I mean, say, you brought it up and I was
the star player on the team and you left me
for like one of the role players man, like you know,
I guess I guess he was. He was, you know,
and he was shorter than me.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
You know, what do you get that.
Speaker 3 (41:51):
I'm not getting that anything.
Speaker 4 (41:52):
I mean, she she did, she what was she started
dating them?
Speaker 3 (41:56):
I mean maybe she couldn't handle the spotlight.
Speaker 4 (42:00):
You know. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (42:01):
I can't handle all the attention you were getting with it.
It hurt.
Speaker 4 (42:04):
I threatened him, I said, I beat your ass, like
I can't believe you do this to me. I thought
we was boys. You know, I never was that guy
ever again though, like I valanced myself close. We were
super close. We ended up going to the same college everything,
like you know, we were we were cool. We were
(42:25):
cool afterwards, like after it all settled in and then
I was kind of like, you know, I put put
my you know, game.
Speaker 3 (42:31):
Safe back on Io. This was high school. You made
it sound like it was okay.
Speaker 4 (42:39):
Oh like recent Like no, no, I thought this was
like NFL. That's how I thought. That was your point
it out. But I would never lose to somebody in
the NFL. Man. And first of all, I wouldn't even
care if somebody took if I had a chicken, a
dude took my chick, I I'd be like, you can
have her, like, you know, just keep it moving. But
high school, high school, I still have had feelings and emotions,
(43:01):
man like things matter, like your feelings could get hurt,
you know. So yeah, not not not the league. The
league would have been totally different. Like you've been like,
oh you you think you stole.
Speaker 3 (43:12):
Her from me? Like I'll let you have her. Yeah,
there you go.
Speaker 2 (43:16):
That's rough.
Speaker 3 (43:17):
Well listen hard knock life. Sometimes.
Speaker 2 (43:20):
I hope you and Larry Center has patched up your relationship.
Speaker 3 (43:24):
And Larry Flint high school together.
Speaker 4 (43:25):
No, we played in the pros, though I know.
Speaker 3 (43:29):
That has been known to happen in the league. Though
I don't want to high school.
Speaker 4 (43:34):
Trying to find trying to find who I think.
Speaker 2 (43:37):
It's find a paywall, you know, I don't know if
I can get to it here.
Speaker 3 (43:40):
His initials were CP.
Speaker 4 (43:42):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 2 (43:42):
That North Hills, Hammer and UH, and his name was
Clint Portis.
