Speaker 1 (00:02):
Is the best of two pros and Lamartin and Jonas
Knox on radio.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
What up sticks people coming after you get on social media?
Or what?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
No they come after you? Yeah, I don't. I don't
get at it. Really, I just look at yours. But
I love trolling them, like when I when I want violence,
I love looking at your page because I can find
the I can find my perfect recipients of me going
after going after people. I attack people on social media.
(00:41):
There's good soil usually and they're usually on your page.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
There's there's good soil there if you want to.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I mean, super fertile all over all around.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
The bottom of the barrel of society when it comes
to social media.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Yeah, that is, that is very very fertile.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
You have some good people though, You have some good
people that follow you, some real, real loyal people to
your craft, loyal people, gracious people. You know. It's how
it's it's funny how people aren't gracious. You know, they're
they're just not you know, they're just not cool people.
They're just douchebags, you know. And it's, uh, it's okay
(01:22):
because when I wanna, when I want to release, I
just troll your trollers. Did you see some of my
latest stuff. It's really good.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
I did see. I caught a glimpse of briefly. I
think you went your mom on.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
So it's always the mom because the mom hurts, because
because moms and wives and girlfriends, they should be off limits.
But I'm a real troll. I'm a real troll, the troller.
So I've lately I've been attacking moms. Yeah. Yeah, So
if you say, if you say, you know Jonas and
(01:59):
laval or they freaking suck, I'd be like, you know what,
your mom sucks? What do you mean by that? Yeah,
I mean it's exactly what do they mean by it?
Because we don't suck. But I just figure I throw
your mom in there and it's going to get the
It's a trolling mechanism. It's just always worked, and I
(02:21):
like it. I like doing it to your fans. That's
all they are, they're your fans. I mean, every time
you get the same person saying the show is unlistenable,
you do know your dumb ass is listening to the
show to be able to say the show is unlistenable. Correctly,
you're a dumb ass for saying it.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Which makes the whole exercise very bizarre.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
I enjoy it though, the exercise of taking the time
to go on to the platform at you or or
look at the message from Fox Sports Radio or from
Jonas Knox talking about the show, and then you write
it like you writing like this show was so unlistenable.
You're listening, douche man, nephew, you're listening, do you not?
(03:07):
Do you not capture the logic and and what it
is that's taking place. You're listening to the show. All right,
there you go listen. Uh.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
I think that the lesson has learned here. Unfortunately, not
everybody learns lessons, all right. So I had started to
hear rumblings about this in recent days, started to hear
over the past couple of days.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Like, you know, is there any validity to.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
This, because there's been some things out there about you know, maybe.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
This is all on you too. By the way, this is.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
All on you, not not no, it is not not this.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
So there's been some some rumblings that maybe chargers running
back nausea hair has had a little bit of an
issue pop up on fourth of July, And by issue,
I mean you know, may have tried to light off
or been with people who tried to light off some
fireworks also known as explosives for anybody that's that's curious,
(04:08):
and there might have been some things that had gone
sideways a little bit. According to Naja Harris's agent, Doug Hendrickson,
he sent out the following quote, Naji Harris was present
at a Fourth of July event where a fireworks mishap
resulted in injuries to several attendees. Nause sustained a superficial
(04:29):
eye injury during the incident, but is fully expected to
be ready for the upcoming NFL season. That according again
to Najia Harris's agent, now further details on this. Apparently
the injuries were real. Apparently, according to his agent, he
(04:51):
said the mishap resulted to injuries to several attendees and
one person, according to ESPN, was hospitalized after he lost
fingers in the accident in Antioch, California. These San Francisco
Chronicle reported, citing the police on that. So listen, man,
we you and I talked about it on Monday, because
(05:14):
it never fails, It never fails. It's going to happen
every single year. And we mentioned Jason Pierre Paul, and
we mentioned all these other things that we've seen of
these amateurs lighting off fireworks and things going sideways, and
we kind of threw it out there, this isn't gonna
(05:34):
happen to anybody else in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Again, right, I mean, like it happens too often.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
It's insane.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
It's like break the cycle.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
It's just insane. So now the Chargers have a running
back who's a cyclops because he wanted to go out
there and get on the set of Backdraft and light.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Off a bunch of Roman candles morts.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
When don't we do it here?
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Dude literally just signed a deal, so he's going to
be bad.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Like if this doesn't go well for Nausea Harrison with
the Chargers, you start to look at it and go,
all right, well, then he's just going to become a
journeyman running back based on the one year deal and
and all this stuff that came out, and now he's
got and what the hell is a superficial eye injury?
Anything near the eye, it should be should be questioned
(06:22):
at all times.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
It's superficial. I'm assuming it's just he's like skin like
a like brush burned type of of injuries. It's not
it's not below the surface. It's not a deeper like
a deep gash that would or a deep burn. It's superficial.
So it's not it's not bad.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
It's not that bad, but an avoidable eye injury, one
that could have been avoided, and one that was a
fraction of an inch probably from costing this guy a lot,
not just not just career wise, whole change of lifestyle
like that. I don't get it. I'm sorry. I don't
(07:06):
understand it. I don't get the appeal. I don't I
don't understand it. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
You don't know I have. I really have nothing for
you on why that would be something that you know,
an athlete would still do. It does not to me,
Like I said, it's never been something I've been into anyway,
So I really really don't understand it. I've never I've
(07:36):
never seen a firework go off up close, to be honest,
never seen it because I won't get close enough to
fireworks because of what they do in the air by
the way I see. I see what they do once
they you know, once they do what they're supposed to do.
I don't want to be close to that. I like
(07:57):
watching them, but from a safe distance. I don't understand
why guys can't grasp that concept. And a lot of
you know, I'm sure a lot of guys will say
I grew up in that, and it gives them a
level of being able to hold on to something from
their childhood and stuff like that might have been a
part of you know, their neighborhood or a family deal,
(08:20):
whatever it may be. Some people that's just that's their deal,
So I'm not judging. But I still would say, go
down a different lane, even if that was something you
did as a kid, even if it's something that your
family did or you did with your granddad or your
uncle or whatever it may be, Like, do something different, man,
because it's just not worth the risk. It's not worth
(08:42):
the risk. It's bizarre.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
And by the way it is, you didn't need to
explain that you've never lit a firework or seen one
up closed, because I already knew that, considering the fact
that you're still here, like I already know that, that
would be the dead giveaway.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Like anybody will say this, I do have a burn
on my face, though I have a superficial burn on
my face, and I I used to sleep with candles
like weird, I know that would be probably your thing
as a vampire.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Is the Lost boys like scented candles, And for some
reason I used to like, I used to like a
whole bunch of them.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Like I go to bath and and body works or whatever,
and I would get scented, uh, you know, candles. And
one night my pillow hit one of the candles and
it caught on fire. Bro and and I had a night.
It was an I will say, I will admit it
(09:44):
was a night of drinking. I was hanging. I was
having a good time, not alone, and fell asleep and
the pillow hit the candle. And I'm like thinking in
my sleep that I'm in a fire, and so it
woke me up and made me feel like I'm burning.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
And.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
It was really, it was really a guy named pillow
on fire. I started trying to blow it out. That's
how fried I was. I was trying to blow it out.
All I had to do was throw the blanket over.
It would have been good, but you know, I burnt
my face. The cotton came up out of the pillow.
It burnt my face. And there you go.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
So, now, how many candles were you in keeper?
Speaker 5 (10:31):
Sutherland laying next to when your pillow caught on fire.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
It would have been at least it would have at
least been like fifteen or so twenty.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
All this time, all this time, I'm the vampire and
you've got to burn on your face from a candle
you were sleeping next to.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
So maybe that's how you're able to identify vampires as
quickly as you are. Now you don't do that anymore, correct,
little sister, I burned my face cray.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
No, I don't.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
It's it's just a it's just another tale of people
not learning their lesson. By the way, I would recommend
this anybody out there. Candles can be very expensive. You
go to Away Home Goods or someplace like that, half
the price, and always smell the lid, all right when
you buy the candle, smell underneath the lids and you
(11:44):
get the true sense of the burn came back.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Have you ever watched Everybody Hates Chris No, It's my
daughter what Pitt wanted to watch it yesterday and I
was like, you know, it's an older show. It has
like teary cruise in it, and Chris Rock. Chris Rock
narrates it. You gotta watch it.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Bro.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
You sound like Terry Crews in a lot of ways.
In real life, you're like the real life Terry Crews.
He is cheap as hell. Damn he's so cheap. What
did I do it? He goes through the trash, he's like,
he looks at half eating chicken. He's like, oh my gosh,
(12:29):
thirty nine cents worth of meat left.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Okay, that's Rob Parker.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Okay, okay, okay, that's fair. That's that's fair. That's fair.
All right.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Rob Parker sent me a text two days ago and
he wanted to point it out to me that he
caught a flight from Houston to New Orleans, or vice versa,
that he found a flight on Spirit Airlines for twenty
four dollars.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
That's crazy.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
And I told him, I'm like, Rob, you're gonna be
sitting on the wing face big tod, under the plane,
that's under the It costs more to fly on in
the belly of the plane.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Twenty four dollars.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Twenty four dollars.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Do that.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
By the way, any twenty four dollar flight should be questioned,
like what is on that twenty four dollar flight?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Yeah? I mean, maybe you.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
Could find Nagiers's eyeball on that twenty four dollars, oh God.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Saying he was watching the show they were watching the
prices right, and he was like, come on, come on.
They were like in a new dishwasher. He was like,
four hundred and thirty dollars right. The person said four
hundred dollars a one, and his wife was like, how
did you know that? He was like, whoa, it's four
(13:44):
hundred and thirty dollars. She's like, why wouldn't we have it.
He's like, it's four hundred and thirty dollars. We don't
even have a dishwasher. That's how I know it's four
hundred and thirty dollars.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Was abou It was Chris Rock, the guy he played
a character. I think it was in in Living Color
where he was always trying to bargain for a for
a better deal. I think it was that show to
where somebody would be.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Chris, and I don't think he was in a Living color.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
He did a character on some show to where like.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
I'm gonna get you sucker. He wanted he wanted a
rib where he wanted to get he wanted to get
food where they're like that might be the one I
think where he goes.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
He walked up to somebody, goes how much for a
bag of Cheetos?
Speaker 4 (14:29):
And they're like three dollars?
Speaker 5 (14:30):
He goes, he goes, how about I give you a
dollar twenty five?
Speaker 4 (14:33):
And uh and and you let me lick the red
off your fingers.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Yeah, I don't remember what that one rock he did
do that bit and I'm gonna get you, sucker. And
it was he went to a rib shack and it
was Isaac Hayes and Jim Brown's rib shack, and he
was like, how much for a rack of ribs? He
was like, ah, that's too much? Too much? How much
(14:58):
for just one rib? No, I mean just one rip.
He's like, you can pour it a drink in my hands,
and then he pulled out a big ass water money
to pay for it. As a case was like, I
would kill you get out of here anyway.

Speaker 5 (19:34):
So yesterday there was some sad news that came out
of the world of baseball. Lee Elia, a former manager
of the Chicago Cubs and the Philadelphia Phillies, died at
eighty seven.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
He's, you know, known.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
For being a manager in Major League baseball, working in
Major League baseball.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
For a long long time.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
All of that is great, but nothing is as good
as what Lee Elia did when he set the gold
standard of postgame rants back in nineteen eighty three when
he took a battle axe to the Chicago Cubs and
their fan base for booing his team.
Speaker 7 (20:15):
I'll tell you one thing, I hope we get hottered
and just to stuff it up them three thousand people
that show up every day, because if they're the real
Chicago fans, they can kiss my hands right downtown and
print it. They're really really behind.
Speaker 6 (20:34):
You around here, my hand.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Am I supposed to do?
Speaker 7 (20:40):
Go out there and let my players get destroyed every
day and be quiet about it. For the Pickel nine
people to show up.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
The don't even work.
Speaker 7 (20:48):
That's why they're out at the game. They only blind
and get a job and find out what it's like
to go out there in a living. Eighty five percent
of the world work it. The other I think, I'm
out here playground what the player God guys people pro
(21:16):
and that's becume my hand.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Eighty five percent of the world's work and the other
fifteen come here. Do you imagine nowadays if a coach,
you're a manager, just unloaded, unloaded on the fan base
like that. Like, but if you were a player, if
you were a player and you heard your manager sticking
(21:46):
up for you that.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
Hard, well, wouldn't you be like, Hey, atleast this guy's
got our back, Like, at least this guy's got our back.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
But at least they but they stunk. If he had
to go down that lane, that means his team stinks.
Oh my god, if you're getting booed, don't I don't know,
and God rest his soul. I don't know what the
situation was, but God Lee, he popped off like he
was just tired of them getting boots. But that means
that the fans are tired of y'all losing and playing bad.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
So he So here's what the situation was. In nineteen.
It was early in the season. They had just lost.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
They were five and fourteen, and there you go, as
the players were walking off the field, Cup fans started
throwing garbage at him. So you had like just under
ten thousand people at Wrigley Field. The players are walking
off the field and the Cup fans start throwing garbage
(22:46):
at him, and so the guy gets in front of
him and I didn't even think he knew that this
was going to be something that was going to be recorded,
But it was Less Grobstein, who was a longtime radio
host in Chicago actually just recently passed away, who got
the audio and released it and was like, yeah, this
was uh, this was lee Elia postgame, and it's just
(23:10):
him annihilating the entire fan base and it's.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
But you know, good for him for standing up for
himself and his players. But five and fourteen, you know,
I mean, they shouldn't have been throwing trash on them
or anything like that, But I mean, come on.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
And you know, and fourteen, you were like, in nineteen
eighty three, the Cubs never played night games. They didn't
have lights at Wrigley Field, so every game was a
day game. So the so the fifteen percent that just
didn't have jobs would go to Cub games because that's
the only way they could see their team.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
And how much do you remember how much longer you
had his job after that?
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Not long?
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Not long? Dang.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Ready Quinn, LeVar Errington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern three am Pacific.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
It is time for a rare Friday appearance from the
one and only Smooth Operator himself, Pete Prisco, Senior NFL
columnist for CBS Sports, CBS Sports HQ Analysts. You can
get them on x IF you want some of that
smoke at Prisco CBS. Pete, good morning. How are we
feel in here on a Friday?
Speaker 3 (24:23):
What's up? Guys? How are you hey? How you doing? Pete?
Speaker 5 (24:26):
We're just you know, we're trying to figure out why
your guy Najia Harris is playing with fireworks on fourth
of July, trying to figure out No.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
I don't get it, man, I really don't. Just to
stay away from it. Why would you subject yourself to
something like that, especially after what happened to Jason Pierre
Paul back in the day. I mean, I just believe me,
I've been around guys. I've seen him try and you know,
play with fireworks, and I don't go anywhere there firecrackers
even or fireworks. I don't go anywhere near that stuff.
(24:57):
I never have it. Just it just why put yourself
at any sort of risk at all to lose a
finger or hand or anything else.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
I don't get it either. For some strange reason, then
again always seems to pop up.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
I'm not a big fireworks guy either. I mean, I'll
be honest with you, you know what.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
I mean, why and why should you be? And why
and why would you be? You know, maybe watch them.
I like watching them, and even that's even a little overrated,
to be honest.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
Yeah, I'm with you, LeVar. I think when you watch them,
all everybody does.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
And then it's done.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
Right finale though there's always a grand.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Finale, always always speaking of Grand finales, Pee, we were
having the discussion of if you were to say, who
are going to be the top three teams out of
each each conference, who would they what? What teams would
they be? I'm curious, who do you see as the
(26:03):
top three teams and the NFC, and who you see
as the top three teams and the AFC, and and
just give a quick reason maybe.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
Why not in any order? Not any order?
Speaker 3 (26:14):
But well I forced Jonas to put them in order.
But if you don't want to put them in order,
that's okay, put them in order.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
Number one right now is Philadelphia. I think in the NFC,
I think they're loaded. They got everybody back. But you know,
I know it's hard to repeat, and everybody's gonna be
gunning for you. That's why why I won't pick them
to repeat. But right now there's a number one team,
Green Bay, who I think last year was impacted greatly
by the health of their quarterback, the health of their
wide receivers. At times, I think Green Bay is going
(26:44):
to be really good. I think defensively they're going to
be even better than what they've been. Even know there's
some people that question their quarterback position. I think they're
gonna be much better.
Speaker 7 (26:52):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (26:52):
And then number three, I'd probably go with boy Probably
this is a surprise people. I think Camp is the
real deal. Oh wow, Yeah, I really do. And I
think their roster is loaded across the board. And not
only that, there's a lot of good mix of young
(27:13):
and old. And when you have a good mix of
young and old, that's usually a good combination because you
have the veterans that can elevate those younger guys. You
have the younger guys that can kind of bring the
juice out and the older guys. And I think that
team is loaded now missing worse for how over long
that will be is a big hit to them early
in the season. But I do think that team is
talented across the board. I'm sorry, go all right, I'll
(27:39):
give you the AFC AFC Buffalo is number one in
my book right now. I think they're the best team.
Number two would be Kansas City and number three would
be Baltimore.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
What is the hesitation to not have Baltimore one? Like,
if you had to say, like what would be your
you're the one thing that you would look at Baltimore
and go I just can't because they two see like a.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
Team that's loaded. So what would be the hesitation with
Baltimore to and put them higher?
Speaker 6 (28:10):
What's kind of been with the same hesitation you've had
with Buffalo over the years is what's the quarterback do
in the post And then not that the quarterback, but
the team and their and their case the quarterback doing
the postseason?
Speaker 3 (28:21):
I says, quarterback for both of them.
Speaker 6 (28:22):
Though, yeah, you're right, well, the quarterback, the quarterback in
Buffalo has actually been pretty done good in the postseason.
You go back and look at his numbers. He's been
good in the postseason. The team is wilted at times
in the postseason, but you go to you know, the
Ravens and Lamar Jackson hasn't been the same quarterback in
the postseason, and so he's got to go out there
and prove that he can do that. And I think
that's the one hesitation. Don't get me wrong, He's a
(28:43):
magnificent player. But you know, guys Peyton Manning had that
hanging over his head for a long time. Until you win,
and win at all, it's going to be sitting there
and it's gonna be a question about you. So I
think those are the things that kind of hold me
from saying that's the number one team. I think Buffalo's loaded.
I think what they've done in the offseasons outstanding. They
revamped that defense, you know, adding some good young guys
(29:04):
to that defense. Once they get you know, Moza going,
and you know, yeah, you don't need him now, you
need him in December and January. I think that's an
important pickup for them as well.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
Pete, when you look at Jared Goff's comments when he
was talking on the most recent episode of Quarterback from
Netflix and you just talking about how he wishes the
Rams would have handled the trade with a little more maturity,
et cetera, et cetera, I look at it and I go, yeah,
in real time, I could understand him saying that, But
(29:38):
it feels like that's a move that worked out better
for everybody. Jared Goff has been better in Detroit than
he was with the Rams. You know, he probably was
a little bit upset and hurt by the trade, but
I think at the end of it all, he was
never going to be loved and never going to maybe
reach that level of success with La And in Detroit
(29:58):
they hit lightning in the bottle and everybody came out
a winner.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
On both sides.
Speaker 6 (30:03):
Yeah, because the Rams won the Super Bowl with Stafford,
so it worked for them. The Lions haven't won the
Super Bowl yet with Golf, but they've been, you know,
one of the better teams in the league, and he's
put up amazing numbers. So yeah, from that standpoint, it
has worked out. But you could almost. But again, these
guys got to learn the NFL is a cruel business.
I mean there's no you know, loyalty. I don't care
(30:25):
when anybody says, oh, you're a part of my team.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
No you're not.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
You're part of my team until they don't need you anymore.
Then you're not part of the team. So to be
hurt by that, you got to expect that as a
player in the NFL. Now, if you have a real
close relationship with your head coach Sean McVay and he
doesn't tell you or handle it and say, hey, look, Jared,
we got something coming down the down the pie here,
you're gonna have to We're going to make a deal
(30:49):
for you. I just wanted to give you a heads up.
It's not done yet, but we're going to make a
deal for you and call you in and tell you
exactly why you're doing it. Then. I think that could
be a problem between you and that coach, but not
necessarily the organization. Come on, the organizations aren't loyal to anybody.
You know what they're loyal to. You know what we
all do 're loyal to. You're damn right, and you
(31:10):
know what, bottom line, trying to win the trophy. That's it.
That's all they're loyal to. And if you can't help
them win the trophy, they're going to get you out
the door. Uh. And if you's too much money, they're
going to get you out the door. That's basically the
reality of the NFL.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Well, let's let's continue on now. I think that's a
great point. I don't find myself saying that about your
points often. Uh yeah, but that one was a good one.
Let me ask you, I have them joking.
Speaker 6 (31:34):
You know what, var LeVar, you you you you read
the book about football that I write every week.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
So you know what, just so I can make sure
I'm on the same page if I decide to jump
off the rails like you do most often. But can
we talk about this right here, the trade that took
place between the Miami Dolphins and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Who
do you think got the better end of that deal?
(32:00):
Or is it kind of a you know, an offsetting
type of of of deal. What? What like? What did
you think when you saw that trade take place?
Speaker 6 (32:12):
Well, Miami had they painted themselves in a corner with
Jalen Ramsey. Had to get rid of them, you know,
once you put that out there, you have to get
rid of them. And and so Pittsburgh looks like a
team that's all in for the year, So it made
sense to go get a guy like that, make if
Fitzpatrick okay for all the people that love on MIKEO Fitzpatrick,
and there are plenty of them. And by the way,
both these guys have problems. You know, Jalen Ramsey's been
(32:35):
unwanted in several spots he's been at he's worn out
as welcome and Miami being one of them. Uh, you
know the Rams, didn't you everybody said, Oh, the Rams
are going to welcome him back and try and get
to win, go get a win super Bowl with him Again,
did they get him back Jacksonville? They wanted Jacksonville. They
wanted him out, and so he's been an issue at
every place he's been. Now, make if Fitzpatrick remember he
(32:55):
wanted out of Miami. He quit on the team a
couple of years ago before they traded him to Pitts
And then when they traded into Pittsburgh, you hear stuff
coming out of Pittsburgh that he was the guy freelancing
all over the place and was a big problem with
the defense last year. So everyone those two guys have
major issues in terms of off the field. I don't
think Fitzpatrick's played as well as everybody expected, and Ramsey's
(33:17):
not been very good either. The last couple of years.
It's just been okay. So what do the Steelers do.
They think they got themselves a corner or a guy
that can move around and play some safety. They can
use them in different spots, and you know, that's become
the trend now. A guy can do so many different things,
and truth be known, his best year was probably when
he was with the Rams playing that star position where
he was up near the line of scrimmage and can
(33:37):
do a lot of different things, so it might work
for the Steelers. They had to eat some money Miami
painting themselves in a corner. And I never really, never
really understood why flat out came out and said you
were getting rid of them before you actually had a
trade value or trademarket for him.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
John new Smith goes in with the trade though, is
that if you send out apples and apples with those
two does a top four and receiving yards tight end?
Does that put it over the top that that you
would say the Steelers won in that that draft exchange.
Speaker 6 (34:08):
Miami, that trade exchange, Miami needs a reset. Let's be real, Miami.
I mean, they couldn't afford to pay John news Smith.
If they were gonna pay Johnny sid they got contracts
coming up, you know, the defensive tackles, Zach steel is
coming up. I mean, they got they got guys that
need to come up. And and let's be real, if
they don't win this year, and I don't think they will,
to be honest with you, I think there's gonna be
a reset across the board. You're gonna Mike McDaniel is
(34:30):
probably gonna be out, Chris Greer will be out, you know,
And then you got this question if they don't play
well on offense, there's questions about TUA and so I
think Miami is in a situation where they got rid
of that the tight end John of Smith, not because
they wanted to, but because they didn't want to pay him,
and so sometimes you have to make those decisions for
the future. So yeah, this dealers probably got the better
(34:51):
of the deal. But Miami also you know, unloaded you know,
Jalen Ramsey's money and some most of it, and unloaded
Johnnay Smith paying him. So I think they're ready for
a recent if they don't win this year.
Speaker 5 (35:03):
Pete Prisco last one for me here. I'm curious because
we're hearing Terry mclaurin's deal. Their negotiations aren't going well.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
We know the TJ. Watt stuff, Trey Hendrickson, etc. Etc.
Speaker 5 (35:15):
Have you heard any juicy rumors about potential trades or
moves maybe being made sometime before training camp or before
the start of the season.
Speaker 6 (35:25):
Well, I mean Henderson was on the market already and
nobody made a move for him. He's been on the market.
Remember they shopped him around and nobody made a move
for him. You know, TJ. I hadn't heard the TJ.
Watt trade stuff at all. You're talking to anybody. I'd
be shocked if that happens. Here's the deal, and you
guys know this. I'm not playing. I'm not playing. I'm
(35:45):
not playing. It's July. I'm not playing. I'm not going
to play. Well, what happens it gets towards camp, I'm
not playing. The money starts getting defines a brutal now
and you start getting fined and losing big checks, and
next thing you know, you go, I'm thinking I'm going
to play, and then the season starts, and what happens.
I'm there in week one because I'm not missing a
(36:05):
game check because I only know I have so many
earning years in my body. They will all be there
in week one. Every single one of them complained about
their contract.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
You aren't wrong, Yeah, you are not wrong.
Speaker 6 (36:20):
I mean everybody every year it's the same thing, and
they all show up a play except for you know,
an idiot Leveon Bell.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
Yeah it works out.
Speaker 5 (36:30):
Yeah that's uh yeah, I probably could was that like
fourteen million dollars, like fourteen million of change he's never
going to see again.
Speaker 6 (36:37):
So yeah, I mean it just you got you only
have it. And Lamar, you know this, you played. There's
only so many years where you're going to make that
kind of money in your career. So why would you
give some of it up? Why would you give any
of it up? It's just dumb.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
I wouldn't. I mean, I understand standing on the value
that you feel you bring to the table, but I
also feel like there's there's the understanding of how to
go about trying to get it done. And I would
be on the field while those negotiations are taking place
trying to get it done. And I'm gonna play the
best that I can play, keep my value up so
(37:15):
that if they don't want to pay me that value,
then there comes a point in time where you know,
you you have options, you know, versus ah, well he
sat home, you know, and and he didn't do anything.
I want you to see my production now if the team,
because what the team did to me in Washington, they
benched me, and and so when we were having our
(37:38):
our situation play out, they basically tried to devalue me
and I for what I don't. I don't. I don't
get it like I'm there, Like I didn't hold out,
I didn't do anything crazy. They just benched me and
and didn't want to play me in. I guess maybe
because they didn't want to get me hurt or whatever
it may have been, so that they could try to
(37:58):
give value, you know, getting rid of me. And I
thought there might have been other agendas. But if somebody's
trying to play that type of game with you, I
can understand you playing hardball. But if you're coming in
and you're going to play and they're they're not doing
anything like outlandish, that that is out of the ordinary.
I think you just got to go ahead and continue
(38:19):
to do your job because at the end of the day,
it's still your job. And the one thing that we
tend to get away from Pete a lot of times
is it's still your job based upon a contract that
you sign that you're still under like and I think
that that sometimes, you know, we get far away from that. Sure,
you can now play.
Speaker 6 (38:39):
A contract, but yeah, but more the other side of
that is they'll cutch in two seconds with your contracts
still there.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
So sure, sure, here's here's.
Speaker 6 (38:47):
My thinking about. Okay, Terry McLaurin is scheduled to make
fifteen five this year in bass salary plus his roster
bonus is two eight. There ain't nowhere else in the
world he's going to be making that kind of mine.
I can tell you that right now. And so if
you don't play half the season, you're going to give
up seven seven and a half million dollars to eight
(39:09):
million dollars. Where you getting eight million dollars back out
in the outside world, Yang, You're not. There's no way.
And so I get it. He looks at the receiver market.
He's average salaries twenty two and you see these guys
getting you know, twenty nine to thirty. So he's sitting
there saying, well, I'm underpaid. Okay, negotiate while you're there
(39:30):
and you'll get the deal. He's going to get a
new deal. I mean, here's the other part of the equation, though,
what kind of deal is he going to get? He's
thirty now, you know, he's thirty years old, and sometimes
you know, that's a crew reality the NFL. When you're
a receiver you turn thirty or running back and you
turn twenty eight, they start saying, Hey, you're at the
back end of your career, and so I think I
get why he wants to get the new deal, you know,
(39:53):
and he will get a new deal. It's just he
might not get that thirty million dollars a twenty nine
million dollars a year deal you want. He's got fifteen
million sitting on the table. He ain't leaving that there.
I promise you that.
Speaker 5 (40:04):
I hope not get him on X at Prisco, CBS
Pete Prisco, senior NFL columnists for CBS Sports, CBS Sports
HQ analyst.
Speaker 4 (40:12):
We always appreciate it. We'll do it again next week.
Speaker 6 (40:15):
You got it, take care of guys.
Speaker 4 (40:17):
There he is, Pete Prisco with us here on Fox
Sports Radio.
Is the best of two pros and Lamartin and Jonas
Knox on radio.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
What up sticks people coming after you get on social media?
Or what?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
No they come after you? Yeah, I don't. I don't
get at it. Really, I just look at yours. But
I love trolling them, like when I when I want violence,
I love looking at your page because I can find
the I can find my perfect recipients of me going
after going after people. I attack people on social media.
(00:41):
There's good soil usually and they're usually on your page.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
There's there's good soil there if you want to.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I mean, super fertile all over all around.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
The bottom of the barrel of society when it comes
to social media.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Yeah, that is, that is very very fertile.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
You have some good people though, You have some good
people that follow you, some real, real loyal people to
your craft, loyal people, gracious people. You know. It's how
it's it's funny how people aren't gracious. You know, they're
they're just not you know, they're just not cool people.
They're just douchebags, you know. And it's, uh, it's okay
(01:22):
because when I wanna, when I want to release, I
just troll your trollers. Did you see some of my
latest stuff. It's really good.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
I did see. I caught a glimpse of briefly. I
think you went your mom on.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
So it's always the mom because the mom hurts, because
because moms and wives and girlfriends, they should be off limits.
But I'm a real troll. I'm a real troll, the troller.
So I've lately I've been attacking moms. Yeah. Yeah, So
if you say, if you say, you know Jonas and
(01:59):
laval or they freaking suck, I'd be like, you know what,
your mom sucks? What do you mean by that? Yeah,
I mean it's exactly what do they mean by it?
Because we don't suck. But I just figure I throw
your mom in there and it's going to get the
It's a trolling mechanism. It's just always worked, and I
(02:21):
like it. I like doing it to your fans. That's
all they are, they're your fans. I mean, every time
you get the same person saying the show is unlistenable,
you do know your dumb ass is listening to the
show to be able to say the show is unlistenable. Correctly,
you're a dumb ass for saying it.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Which makes the whole exercise very bizarre.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
I enjoy it though, the exercise of taking the time
to go on to the platform at you or or
look at the message from Fox Sports Radio or from
Jonas Knox talking about the show, and then you write
it like you writing like this show was so unlistenable.
You're listening, douche man, nephew, you're listening, do you not?
(03:07):
Do you not capture the logic and and what it
is that's taking place. You're listening to the show. All right,
there you go listen. Uh.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
I think that the lesson has learned here. Unfortunately, not
everybody learns lessons, all right. So I had started to
hear rumblings about this in recent days, started to hear
over the past couple of days.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Like, you know, is there any validity to.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
This, because there's been some things out there about you know, maybe.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
This is all on you too. By the way, this is.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
All on you, not not no, it is not not this.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
So there's been some some rumblings that maybe chargers running
back nausea hair has had a little bit of an
issue pop up on fourth of July, And by issue,
I mean you know, may have tried to light off
or been with people who tried to light off some
fireworks also known as explosives for anybody that's that's curious,
(04:08):
and there might have been some things that had gone
sideways a little bit. According to Naja Harris's agent, Doug Hendrickson,
he sent out the following quote, Naji Harris was present
at a Fourth of July event where a fireworks mishap
resulted in injuries to several attendees. Nause sustained a superficial
(04:29):
eye injury during the incident, but is fully expected to
be ready for the upcoming NFL season. That according again
to Najia Harris's agent, now further details on this. Apparently
the injuries were real. Apparently, according to his agent, he
(04:51):
said the mishap resulted to injuries to several attendees and
one person, according to ESPN, was hospitalized after he lost
fingers in the accident in Antioch, California. These San Francisco
Chronicle reported, citing the police on that. So listen, man,
we you and I talked about it on Monday, because
(05:14):
it never fails, It never fails. It's going to happen
every single year. And we mentioned Jason Pierre Paul, and
we mentioned all these other things that we've seen of
these amateurs lighting off fireworks and things going sideways, and
we kind of threw it out there, this isn't gonna
(05:34):
happen to anybody else in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Again, right, I mean, like it happens too often.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
It's insane.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
It's like break the cycle.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
It's just insane. So now the Chargers have a running
back who's a cyclops because he wanted to go out
there and get on the set of Backdraft and light.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Off a bunch of Roman candles morts.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
When don't we do it here?
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Dude literally just signed a deal, so he's going to
be bad.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Like if this doesn't go well for Nausea Harrison with
the Chargers, you start to look at it and go,
all right, well, then he's just going to become a
journeyman running back based on the one year deal and
and all this stuff that came out, and now he's
got and what the hell is a superficial eye injury?
Anything near the eye, it should be should be questioned
(06:22):
at all times.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
It's superficial. I'm assuming it's just he's like skin like
a like brush burned type of of injuries. It's not
it's not below the surface. It's not a deeper like
a deep gash that would or a deep burn. It's superficial.
So it's not it's not bad.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
It's not that bad, but an avoidable eye injury, one
that could have been avoided, and one that was a
fraction of an inch probably from costing this guy a lot,
not just not just career wise, whole change of lifestyle
like that. I don't get it. I'm sorry. I don't
(07:06):
understand it. I don't get the appeal. I don't I
don't understand it. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
You don't know I have. I really have nothing for
you on why that would be something that you know,
an athlete would still do. It does not to me,
Like I said, it's never been something I've been into anyway,
So I really really don't understand it. I've never I've
(07:36):
never seen a firework go off up close, to be honest,
never seen it because I won't get close enough to
fireworks because of what they do in the air by
the way I see. I see what they do once
they you know, once they do what they're supposed to do.
I don't want to be close to that. I like
(07:57):
watching them, but from a safe distance. I don't understand
why guys can't grasp that concept. And a lot of
you know, I'm sure a lot of guys will say
I grew up in that, and it gives them a
level of being able to hold on to something from
their childhood and stuff like that might have been a
part of you know, their neighborhood or a family deal,
(08:20):
whatever it may be. Some people that's just that's their deal,
So I'm not judging. But I still would say, go
down a different lane, even if that was something you
did as a kid, even if it's something that your
family did or you did with your granddad or your
uncle or whatever it may be, Like, do something different, man,
because it's just not worth the risk. It's not worth
(08:42):
the risk. It's bizarre.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
And by the way it is, you didn't need to
explain that you've never lit a firework or seen one
up closed, because I already knew that, considering the fact
that you're still here, like I already know that, that
would be the dead giveaway.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Like anybody will say this, I do have a burn
on my face, though I have a superficial burn on
my face, and I I used to sleep with candles
like weird, I know that would be probably your thing
as a vampire.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Is the Lost boys like scented candles, And for some
reason I used to like, I used to like a
whole bunch of them.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Like I go to bath and and body works or whatever,
and I would get scented, uh, you know, candles. And
one night my pillow hit one of the candles and
it caught on fire. Bro and and I had a night.
It was an I will say, I will admit it
(09:44):
was a night of drinking. I was hanging. I was
having a good time, not alone, and fell asleep and
the pillow hit the candle. And I'm like thinking in
my sleep that I'm in a fire, and so it
woke me up and made me feel like I'm burning.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
And.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
It was really, it was really a guy named pillow
on fire. I started trying to blow it out. That's
how fried I was. I was trying to blow it out.
All I had to do was throw the blanket over.
It would have been good, but you know, I burnt
my face. The cotton came up out of the pillow.
It burnt my face. And there you go.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
So, now, how many candles were you in keeper?
Speaker 5 (10:31):
Sutherland laying next to when your pillow caught on fire.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
It would have been at least it would have at
least been like fifteen or so twenty.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
All this time, all this time, I'm the vampire and
you've got to burn on your face from a candle
you were sleeping next to.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
So maybe that's how you're able to identify vampires as
quickly as you are. Now you don't do that anymore, correct,
little sister, I burned my face cray.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
No, I don't.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
It's it's just a it's just another tale of people
not learning their lesson. By the way, I would recommend
this anybody out there. Candles can be very expensive. You
go to Away Home Goods or someplace like that, half
the price, and always smell the lid, all right when
you buy the candle, smell underneath the lids and you
(11:44):
get the true sense of the burn came back.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Have you ever watched Everybody Hates Chris No, It's my
daughter what Pitt wanted to watch it yesterday and I
was like, you know, it's an older show. It has
like teary cruise in it, and Chris Rock. Chris Rock
narrates it. You gotta watch it.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Bro.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
You sound like Terry Crews in a lot of ways.
In real life, you're like the real life Terry Crews.
He is cheap as hell. Damn he's so cheap. What
did I do it? He goes through the trash, he's like,
he looks at half eating chicken. He's like, oh my gosh,
(12:29):
thirty nine cents worth of meat left.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Okay, that's Rob Parker.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Okay, okay, okay, that's fair. That's that's fair. That's fair.
All right.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Rob Parker sent me a text two days ago and
he wanted to point it out to me that he
caught a flight from Houston to New Orleans, or vice versa,
that he found a flight on Spirit Airlines for twenty
four dollars.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
That's crazy.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
And I told him, I'm like, Rob, you're gonna be
sitting on the wing face big tod, under the plane,
that's under the It costs more to fly on in
the belly of the plane.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Twenty four dollars.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Twenty four dollars.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Do that.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
By the way, any twenty four dollar flight should be questioned,
like what is on that twenty four dollar flight?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Yeah? I mean, maybe you.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
Could find Nagiers's eyeball on that twenty four dollars, oh God.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Saying he was watching the show they were watching the
prices right, and he was like, come on, come on.
They were like in a new dishwasher. He was like,
four hundred and thirty dollars right. The person said four
hundred dollars a one, and his wife was like, how
did you know that? He was like, whoa, it's four
(13:44):
hundred and thirty dollars. She's like, why wouldn't we have it.
He's like, it's four hundred and thirty dollars. We don't
even have a dishwasher. That's how I know it's four
hundred and thirty dollars.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Was abou It was Chris Rock, the guy he played
a character. I think it was in in Living Color
where he was always trying to bargain for a for
a better deal. I think it was that show to
where somebody would be.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Chris, and I don't think he was in a Living color.

Speaker 5 (19:34):
So yesterday there was some sad news that came out
of the world of baseball. Lee Elia, a former manager
of the Chicago Cubs and the Philadelphia Phillies, died at
eighty seven.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
He's, you know, known.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
For being a manager in Major League baseball, working in
Major League baseball.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
For a long long time.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
All of that is great, but nothing is as good
as what Lee Elia did when he set the gold
standard of postgame rants back in nineteen eighty three when
he took a battle axe to the Chicago Cubs and
their fan base for booing his team.
Speaker 7 (20:15):
I'll tell you one thing, I hope we get hottered
and just to stuff it up them three thousand people
that show up every day, because if they're the real
Chicago fans, they can kiss my hands right downtown and
print it. They're really really behind.
Speaker 6 (20:34):
You around here, my hand.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Am I supposed to do?
Speaker 7 (20:40):
Go out there and let my players get destroyed every
day and be quiet about it. For the Pickel nine
people to show up.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
The don't even work.
Speaker 7 (20:48):
That's why they're out at the game. They only blind
and get a job and find out what it's like
to go out there in a living. Eighty five percent
of the world work it. The other I think, I'm
out here playground what the player God guys people pro
(21:16):
and that's becume my hand.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Eighty five percent of the world's work and the other
fifteen come here. Do you imagine nowadays if a coach,
you're a manager, just unloaded, unloaded on the fan base
like that. Like, but if you were a player, if
you were a player and you heard your manager sticking
(21:46):
up for you that.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
Hard, well, wouldn't you be like, Hey, atleast this guy's
got our back, Like, at least this guy's got our back.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
But at least they but they stunk. If he had
to go down that lane, that means his team stinks.
Oh my god, if you're getting booed, don't I don't know,
and God rest his soul. I don't know what the
situation was, but God Lee, he popped off like he
was just tired of them getting boots. But that means
that the fans are tired of y'all losing and playing bad.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
So he So here's what the situation was. In nineteen.
It was early in the season. They had just lost.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
They were five and fourteen, and there you go, as
the players were walking off the field, Cup fans started
throwing garbage at him. So you had like just under
ten thousand people at Wrigley Field. The players are walking
off the field and the Cup fans start throwing garbage
(22:46):
at him, and so the guy gets in front of
him and I didn't even think he knew that this
was going to be something that was going to be recorded,
But it was Less Grobstein, who was a longtime radio
host in Chicago actually just recently passed away, who got
the audio and released it and was like, yeah, this
was uh, this was lee Elia postgame, and it's just
(23:10):
him annihilating the entire fan base and it's.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
But you know, good for him for standing up for
himself and his players. But five and fourteen, you know,
I mean, they shouldn't have been throwing trash on them
or anything like that, But I mean, come on.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
And you know, and fourteen, you were like, in nineteen
eighty three, the Cubs never played night games. They didn't
have lights at Wrigley Field, so every game was a
day game. So the so the fifteen percent that just
didn't have jobs would go to Cub games because that's
the only way they could see their team.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
And how much do you remember how much longer you
had his job after that?
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Not long?
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Not long? Dang.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Ready Quinn, LeVar Errington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern three am Pacific.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
It is time for a rare Friday appearance from the
one and only Smooth Operator himself, Pete Prisco, Senior NFL
columnist for CBS Sports, CBS Sports HQ Analysts. You can
get them on x IF you want some of that
smoke at Prisco CBS. Pete, good morning. How are we
feel in here on a Friday?
Speaker 3 (24:23):
What's up? Guys? How are you hey? How you doing? Pete?
Speaker 5 (24:26):
We're just you know, we're trying to figure out why
your guy Najia Harris is playing with fireworks on fourth
of July, trying to figure out No.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
I don't get it, man, I really don't. Just to
stay away from it. Why would you subject yourself to
something like that, especially after what happened to Jason Pierre
Paul back in the day. I mean, I just believe me,
I've been around guys. I've seen him try and you know,
play with fireworks, and I don't go anywhere there firecrackers
even or fireworks. I don't go anywhere near that stuff.
(24:57):
I never have it. Just it just why put yourself
at any sort of risk at all to lose a
finger or hand or anything else.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
I don't get it either. For some strange reason, then
again always seems to pop up.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
I'm not a big fireworks guy either. I mean, I'll
be honest with you, you know what.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
I mean, why and why should you be? And why
and why would you be? You know, maybe watch them.
I like watching them, and even that's even a little overrated,
to be honest.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
Yeah, I'm with you, LeVar. I think when you watch them,
all everybody does.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
And then it's done.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
Right finale though there's always a grand.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Finale, always always speaking of Grand finales, Pee, we were
having the discussion of if you were to say, who
are going to be the top three teams out of
each each conference, who would they what? What teams would
they be? I'm curious, who do you see as the
(26:03):
top three teams and the NFC, and who you see
as the top three teams and the AFC, and and
just give a quick reason maybe.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
Why not in any order? Not any order?
Speaker 3 (26:14):
But well I forced Jonas to put them in order.
But if you don't want to put them in order,
that's okay, put them in order.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
Number one right now is Philadelphia. I think in the NFC,
I think they're loaded. They got everybody back. But you know,
I know it's hard to repeat, and everybody's gonna be
gunning for you. That's why why I won't pick them
to repeat. But right now there's a number one team,
Green Bay, who I think last year was impacted greatly
by the health of their quarterback, the health of their
wide receivers. At times, I think Green Bay is going
(26:44):
to be really good. I think defensively they're going to
be even better than what they've been. Even know there's
some people that question their quarterback position. I think they're
gonna be much better.
Speaker 7 (26:52):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (26:52):
And then number three, I'd probably go with boy Probably
this is a surprise people. I think Camp is the
real deal. Oh wow, Yeah, I really do. And I
think their roster is loaded across the board. And not
only that, there's a lot of good mix of young
(27:13):
and old. And when you have a good mix of
young and old, that's usually a good combination because you
have the veterans that can elevate those younger guys. You
have the younger guys that can kind of bring the
juice out and the older guys. And I think that
team is loaded now missing worse for how over long
that will be is a big hit to them early
in the season. But I do think that team is
talented across the board. I'm sorry, go all right, I'll
(27:39):
give you the AFC AFC Buffalo is number one in
my book right now. I think they're the best team.
Number two would be Kansas City and number three would
be Baltimore.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
What is the hesitation to not have Baltimore one? Like,
if you had to say, like what would be your
you're the one thing that you would look at Baltimore
and go I just can't because they two see like a.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
Team that's loaded. So what would be the hesitation with
Baltimore to and put them higher?
Speaker 6 (28:10):
What's kind of been with the same hesitation you've had
with Buffalo over the years is what's the quarterback do
in the post And then not that the quarterback, but
the team and their and their case the quarterback doing
the postseason?
Speaker 3 (28:21):
I says, quarterback for both of them.
Speaker 6 (28:22):
Though, yeah, you're right, well, the quarterback, the quarterback in
Buffalo has actually been pretty done good in the postseason.
You go back and look at his numbers. He's been
good in the postseason. The team is wilted at times
in the postseason, but you go to you know, the
Ravens and Lamar Jackson hasn't been the same quarterback in
the postseason, and so he's got to go out there
and prove that he can do that. And I think
that's the one hesitation. Don't get me wrong, He's a
(28:43):
magnificent player. But you know, guys Peyton Manning had that
hanging over his head for a long time. Until you win,
and win at all, it's going to be sitting there
and it's gonna be a question about you. So I
think those are the things that kind of hold me
from saying that's the number one team. I think Buffalo's loaded.
I think what they've done in the offseasons outstanding. They
revamped that defense, you know, adding some good young guys
(29:04):
to that defense. Once they get you know, Moza going,
and you know, yeah, you don't need him now, you
need him in December and January. I think that's an
important pickup for them as well.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
Pete, when you look at Jared Goff's comments when he
was talking on the most recent episode of Quarterback from
Netflix and you just talking about how he wishes the
Rams would have handled the trade with a little more maturity,
et cetera, et cetera, I look at it and I go, yeah,
in real time, I could understand him saying that, But
(29:38):
it feels like that's a move that worked out better
for everybody. Jared Goff has been better in Detroit than
he was with the Rams. You know, he probably was
a little bit upset and hurt by the trade, but
I think at the end of it all, he was
never going to be loved and never going to maybe
reach that level of success with La And in Detroit
(29:58):
they hit lightning in the bottle and everybody came out
a winner.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
On both sides.
Speaker 6 (30:03):
Yeah, because the Rams won the Super Bowl with Stafford,
so it worked for them. The Lions haven't won the
Super Bowl yet with Golf, but they've been, you know,
one of the better teams in the league, and he's
put up amazing numbers. So yeah, from that standpoint, it
has worked out. But you could almost. But again, these
guys got to learn the NFL is a cruel business.
I mean there's no you know, loyalty. I don't care
(30:25):
when anybody says, oh, you're a part of my team.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
No you're not.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
You're part of my team until they don't need you anymore.
Then you're not part of the team. So to be
hurt by that, you got to expect that as a
player in the NFL. Now, if you have a real
close relationship with your head coach Sean McVay and he
doesn't tell you or handle it and say, hey, look, Jared,
we got something coming down the down the pie here,
you're gonna have to We're going to make a deal
(30:49):
for you. I just wanted to give you a heads up.
It's not done yet, but we're going to make a
deal for you and call you in and tell you
exactly why you're doing it. Then. I think that could
be a problem between you and that coach, but not
necessarily the organization. Come on, the organizations aren't loyal to anybody.
You know what they're loyal to. You know what we
all do 're loyal to. You're damn right, and you
(31:10):
know what, bottom line, trying to win the trophy. That's it.
That's all they're loyal to. And if you can't help
them win the trophy, they're going to get you out
the door. Uh. And if you's too much money, they're
going to get you out the door. That's basically the
reality of the NFL.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Well, let's let's continue on now. I think that's a
great point. I don't find myself saying that about your
points often. Uh yeah, but that one was a good one.
Let me ask you, I have them joking.
Speaker 6 (31:34):
You know what, var LeVar, you you you you read
the book about football that I write every week.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
So you know what, just so I can make sure
I'm on the same page if I decide to jump
off the rails like you do most often. But can
we talk about this right here, the trade that took
place between the Miami Dolphins and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Who
do you think got the better end of that deal?
(32:00):
Or is it kind of a you know, an offsetting
type of of of deal. What? What like? What did
you think when you saw that trade take place?
Speaker 6 (32:12):
Well, Miami had they painted themselves in a corner with
Jalen Ramsey. Had to get rid of them, you know,
once you put that out there, you have to get
rid of them. And and so Pittsburgh looks like a
team that's all in for the year, So it made
sense to go get a guy like that, make if
Fitzpatrick okay for all the people that love on MIKEO Fitzpatrick,
and there are plenty of them. And by the way,
both these guys have problems. You know, Jalen Ramsey's been
(32:35):
unwanted in several spots he's been at he's worn out
as welcome and Miami being one of them. Uh, you
know the Rams, didn't you everybody said, Oh, the Rams
are going to welcome him back and try and get
to win, go get a win super Bowl with him Again,
did they get him back Jacksonville? They wanted Jacksonville. They
wanted him out, and so he's been an issue at
every place he's been. Now, make if Fitzpatrick remember he
(32:55):
wanted out of Miami. He quit on the team a
couple of years ago before they traded him to Pitts
And then when they traded into Pittsburgh, you hear stuff
coming out of Pittsburgh that he was the guy freelancing
all over the place and was a big problem with
the defense last year. So everyone those two guys have
major issues in terms of off the field. I don't
think Fitzpatrick's played as well as everybody expected, and Ramsey's
(33:17):
not been very good either. The last couple of years.
It's just been okay. So what do the Steelers do.
They think they got themselves a corner or a guy
that can move around and play some safety. They can
use them in different spots, and you know, that's become
the trend now. A guy can do so many different things,
and truth be known, his best year was probably when
he was with the Rams playing that star position where
he was up near the line of scrimmage and can
(33:37):
do a lot of different things, so it might work
for the Steelers. They had to eat some money Miami
painting themselves in a corner. And I never really, never
really understood why flat out came out and said you
were getting rid of them before you actually had a
trade value or trademarket for him.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
John new Smith goes in with the trade though, is
that if you send out apples and apples with those
two does a top four and receiving yards tight end?
Does that put it over the top that that you
would say the Steelers won in that that draft exchange.
Speaker 6 (34:08):
Miami, that trade exchange, Miami needs a reset. Let's be real, Miami.
I mean, they couldn't afford to pay John news Smith.
If they were gonna pay Johnny sid they got contracts
coming up, you know, the defensive tackles, Zach steel is
coming up. I mean, they got they got guys that
need to come up. And and let's be real, if
they don't win this year, and I don't think they will,
to be honest with you, I think there's gonna be
a reset across the board. You're gonna Mike McDaniel is
(34:30):
probably gonna be out, Chris Greer will be out, you know,
And then you got this question if they don't play
well on offense, there's questions about TUA and so I
think Miami is in a situation where they got rid
of that the tight end John of Smith, not because
they wanted to, but because they didn't want to pay him,
and so sometimes you have to make those decisions for
the future. So yeah, this dealers probably got the better
(34:51):
of the deal. But Miami also you know, unloaded you know,
Jalen Ramsey's money and some most of it, and unloaded
Johnnay Smith paying him. So I think they're ready for
a recent if they don't win this year.
Speaker 5 (35:03):
Pete Prisco last one for me here. I'm curious because
we're hearing Terry mclaurin's deal. Their negotiations aren't going well.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
We know the TJ. Watt stuff, Trey Hendrickson, etc. Etc.
Speaker 5 (35:15):
Have you heard any juicy rumors about potential trades or
moves maybe being made sometime before training camp or before
the start of the season.
Speaker 6 (35:25):
Well, I mean Henderson was on the market already and
nobody made a move for him. He's been on the market.
Remember they shopped him around and nobody made a move
for him. You know, TJ. I hadn't heard the TJ.
Watt trade stuff at all. You're talking to anybody. I'd
be shocked if that happens. Here's the deal, and you
guys know this. I'm not playing. I'm not playing. I'm
(35:45):
not playing. It's July. I'm not playing. I'm not going
to play. Well, what happens it gets towards camp, I'm
not playing. The money starts getting defines a brutal now
and you start getting fined and losing big checks, and
next thing you know, you go, I'm thinking I'm going
to play, and then the season starts, and what happens.
I'm there in week one because I'm not missing a
(36:05):
game check because I only know I have so many
earning years in my body. They will all be there
in week one. Every single one of them complained about
their contract.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
You aren't wrong, Yeah, you are not wrong.
Speaker 6 (36:20):
I mean everybody every year it's the same thing, and
they all show up a play except for you know,
an idiot Leveon Bell.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
Yeah it works out.
Speaker 5 (36:30):
Yeah that's uh yeah, I probably could was that like
fourteen million dollars, like fourteen million of change he's never
going to see again.
Speaker 6 (36:37):
So yeah, I mean it just you got you only
have it. And Lamar, you know this, you played. There's
only so many years where you're going to make that
kind of money in your career. So why would you
give some of it up? Why would you give any
of it up? It's just dumb.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
I wouldn't. I mean, I understand standing on the value
that you feel you bring to the table, but I
also feel like there's there's the understanding of how to
go about trying to get it done. And I would
be on the field while those negotiations are taking place
trying to get it done. And I'm gonna play the
best that I can play, keep my value up so
(37:15):
that if they don't want to pay me that value,
then there comes a point in time where you know,
you you have options, you know, versus ah, well he
sat home, you know, and and he didn't do anything.
I want you to see my production now if the team,
because what the team did to me in Washington, they
benched me, and and so when we were having our
(37:38):
our situation play out, they basically tried to devalue me
and I for what I don't. I don't. I don't
get it like I'm there, Like I didn't hold out,
I didn't do anything crazy. They just benched me and
and didn't want to play me in. I guess maybe
because they didn't want to get me hurt or whatever
it may have been, so that they could try to
(37:58):
give value, you know, getting rid of me. And I
thought there might have been other agendas. But if somebody's
trying to play that type of game with you, I
can understand you playing hardball. But if you're coming in
and you're going to play and they're they're not doing
anything like outlandish, that that is out of the ordinary.
I think you just got to go ahead and continue
(38:19):
to do your job because at the end of the day,
it's still your job. And the one thing that we
tend to get away from Pete a lot of times
is it's still your job based upon a contract that
you sign that you're still under like and I think
that that sometimes, you know, we get far away from that. Sure,
you can now play.
Speaker 6 (38:39):
A contract, but yeah, but more the other side of
that is they'll cutch in two seconds with your contracts
still there.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
So sure, sure, here's here's.
Speaker 6 (38:47):
My thinking about. Okay, Terry McLaurin is scheduled to make
fifteen five this year in bass salary plus his roster
bonus is two eight. There ain't nowhere else in the
world he's going to be making that kind of mine.
I can tell you that right now. And so if
you don't play half the season, you're going to give
up seven seven and a half million dollars to eight
(39:09):
million dollars. Where you getting eight million dollars back out
in the outside world, Yang, You're not. There's no way.
And so I get it. He looks at the receiver market.
He's average salaries twenty two and you see these guys
getting you know, twenty nine to thirty. So he's sitting
there saying, well, I'm underpaid. Okay, negotiate while you're there
(39:30):
and you'll get the deal. He's going to get a
new deal. I mean, here's the other part of the equation, though,
what kind of deal is he going to get? He's
thirty now, you know, he's thirty years old, and sometimes
you know, that's a crew reality the NFL. When you're
a receiver you turn thirty or running back and you
turn twenty eight, they start saying, Hey, you're at the
back end of your career, and so I think I
get why he wants to get the new deal, you know,
(39:53):
and he will get a new deal. It's just he
might not get that thirty million dollars a twenty nine
million dollars a year deal you want. He's got fifteen
million sitting on the table. He ain't leaving that there.
I promise you that.
Speaker 5 (40:04):
I hope not get him on X at Prisco, CBS
Pete Prisco, senior NFL columnists for CBS Sports, CBS Sports
HQ analyst.
Speaker 4 (40:12):
We always appreciate it. We'll do it again next week.
Speaker 6 (40:15):
You got it, take care of guys.
Speaker 4 (40:17):
There he is, Pete Prisco with us here on Fox
Sports Radio.
