Speaker 1 (00:02):
Is the best of two pros and a couple with
lamar As rating Win and Jonas Knox on radio.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
And I don't know about you, guys, but I'm ready
to knee jerk the s out of what happened last
night at the Hall of Fame game.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
You're ready to jerk what happened last night?

Speaker 4 (00:27):
I'm ready, man, that that would be That would be
your style.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Jonas, Yes, dang, we are right. Yeah, one game in
the books. Yeah, yeah, counts from me.

Speaker 5 (00:41):
Yeah, I don't know exactly.

Speaker 6 (00:43):
The Chargers, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (00:45):
Yes, you did. You said that. You said the Chargers
are charging up, charging up, bolt up.

Speaker 6 (00:53):
They hit that over though, I didn't think they hit
that over.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah, they did theirs.

Speaker 7 (00:59):
I mean, the Chargers hit the over on their own.
I mean, Detroit didn't help them very much, all right,
it didn't help them very much on that over, but hey,
they contributed.

Speaker 6 (01:16):
All right.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
I'll say this right now, Detroit stinks. They're the worst
team in football, and it is even close.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
We want to go through our new Druk reactions. Let's
go there, it is.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
I'm ready, there it is. There's your first. In fact,
I'll tell you we don't even need we don't even
need imaging for this. All right, I'll tell you right now.
My power rankings are in Detroit's dead last, all right.
The Chargers are one, Detroit's two, the Lions are awful,

(01:49):
and it's all.

Speaker 6 (01:50):
This was was a Chargers are number one, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
In my power rankings right now in the preseason, I
got the faults.

Speaker 6 (01:57):
One.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
Here's my knee druk reaction from last night's game. San
Francisco will regret not giving Lance more of a chance.

Speaker 6 (02:06):
Okay, I like that one. I like that one.

Speaker 7 (02:12):
Uh, I don't have a My knee did not get jerked,
so I didn't have one.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
Now I didn't tell you anything, No.

Speaker 6 (02:21):
It didn't.

Speaker 7 (02:22):
It held up pretty good last night. So I just
kind of looked at it as Lance was. That was pleasant.
That was pleasant.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
But if I was going to ask you if you
went out last night, would the answer be yes.

Speaker 6 (02:36):
I did not go out.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
Really.

Speaker 7 (02:38):
I was at I was at Uh, I was at
the field, which is the sports bar in my hotel,
at Top Trees, which is a golf Oh, no resort.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
You're staying at Top Trees?

Speaker 6 (02:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:53):
Have they not knocked that place down and free done it? Yet?
Every year we go back.

Speaker 7 (02:58):
There down yet, Oh jeez, it's old. You know thet
there when I played here, and it.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
Was probably nice state really was, it was probably.

Speaker 6 (03:09):
But the rooms are exactly the same.

Speaker 7 (03:14):
And think about that thirty years ago. Yeah, ninety seven
through ninety nine. They are exactly the same way. I remember.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
I'm not just saying this because it's a Penn State thing.
That place is a dump. It's the worst place that
anyone stays in any college town. And I'm always saying
this because every year they're like, yeah, they're gonna knock
it down and build up, you know, something like do
you Nitney lion In? And I'm like, wow, I'd be great.
We'd love to stand a place like that.

Speaker 6 (03:43):
They finally did the Nitney lion In. Well, they finally did.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
They're not working fast enough on top trees.

Speaker 7 (03:49):
The graduate took over to Atherton. They made they somewhat
made it that one. I mean, yeah, there's some I
mean we are updating.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
I got it, say we are. I gotta say Q.

Speaker 7 (04:03):
I mean all our hotels, yeah, all our hotels were
like nineteen eighties dorm rooms. Guess who I interviewed yesterday?
Who Kale Sanderson? Did you that, Yes, I.

Speaker 5 (04:25):
Did one of those cauliflowers look like.

Speaker 6 (04:28):
Oh man, he is a man. I tell you that
he does have like sauce. Oh man.

Speaker 4 (04:35):
I beat him in paper rock scissors, buffalo cauliflower.

Speaker 6 (04:39):
It might be his only loss in his life. I
just I beat him.

Speaker 5 (04:44):
That's right there.

Speaker 6 (04:45):
That and what a good dude.

Speaker 7 (04:48):
Man, Holy smokes, blown away by how cool he was.
But anyway, if I were to compare Kale Sanderson to
some to a team like saying, okay, this team has
that Kale Sanderson effect, I gotta tell you, man, I
think that. And maybe this is a knee jerk reaction.

(05:09):
I don't know, maybe it shouldn't be. I mean, the
starters didn't play. But I think the Chargers are going
to be a problem this year.

Speaker 5 (05:21):
That's what I'm talking about.

Speaker 7 (05:22):
They're going to be They could be the team that
presents the biggest issue in the AFC West.

Speaker 5 (05:30):
I'm telling you this, after what I saw last night.
I trade justin Herbert.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Today, gone gone, and you could you could send me
a bucket of Wilson's I don't care gone for what
I saw with Trey Lance last night.

Speaker 6 (05:44):
Okay, all right, we're going that far that's carried away.
That's knee jerk.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
The Detroit Lions are going to regret ever allowing Ben
Johnson to leave the building. Now there's not really much
they could have time to keep him. But in all seriousness,
that's gonna be a storyline to watch the rest of
this season and one of the things that the media does,
and it's it's completely unfair to Dan Campbell. It's unfair

(06:12):
to the players, the coaching staff, it's unfit to John Morton,
who steps in as the offensive coordinator. Is we all
know their big shoes to fill, but this is your
first impression, and it's again, it's unfair. It's not your starters,
it's not a normal regular season game. So he'll get
the benefit of the doubt come week one to a degree,

(06:32):
depending on how the next few games look, because if
they look as putrid on offense and if they struggle
on third down the way they did last night to
stay on the field, you're gonna you're gonna have people
who let them hear it, and the people are gonna
start questioning, you know what really was this team was
just one great offensive mine scheming up plays or can

(06:54):
Jared gob still get it?

Speaker 6 (06:55):
Done.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
Can John Moore, than Dan Campbell, Mark Brunell, all the
other offensive mine, Tank Fredly who's there?

Speaker 3 (07:01):
Can those guys figured out?

Speaker 4 (07:03):
But that's gonna be the narrative that starts to get
shaped purely based on how last night's preseason Hall of
Fame game went. And I know people are gonna say, no,
that's not the just watch, just watch, depending on how
the rest of the preseason goes for the Detroit Lions
and what the reaction is, especially when it becomes down
to Chicago's Detroit who gets the better of that matchup?

Speaker 5 (07:24):
Well, the same thing happened.

Speaker 6 (07:25):
Cargo ain't gonna be too much better, Damn.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
Well, the same thing happened with after the coordinators left
Philly and the questions about Sirianni afterwards, Like I don't
know like that people were watching that all year because
they didn't look the same, and then you know, a
couple of years later they're back in the super Bowl.
But Philly had the same questions about it because everyone
looked at at Sirianni and I thought he was fraudulent,

(07:49):
Like there was talks about him losing his job.

Speaker 7 (07:50):
So he hadline as Detroit as talented at an outfit
as Philadelphia to overcome replacing your coordinators, I would say no,
I would say no, I don't think.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
I don't.

Speaker 7 (08:08):
I mean you, yeah, I say personnel wise, sticks picks,
and you can overcome a lot with talent. There's some
talent on this, this Detroit team, but I think that
you have to use the talent in Detroit. And I guess,

(08:30):
I guess the way I'm saying it is is they're good.

Speaker 6 (08:33):
I mean I might be a little bit. So you
can hit me with fat tongue.

Speaker 7 (08:42):
All right, Hey, you know, Brady, it was funny yesterday,
but it played Brady, we like, can you put thick
tongue as wearing that out? Why would you bring it
into today's show because because of whit I can't use it. Unbelievable, Race,

(09:04):
I can't even believe that. I thought about me with
thick tongue, and I really was like butchering it with
like thick tongue talk like I'm with you there, but
my tongue is not.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
I thought about that all day yesterday. My brother, my brother,
and my nephew were driving to the airport yesterday morning
and my brother I talked to him later in the afternoon,
he said, we were laughing so hard.

Speaker 6 (09:33):
I kwat me, unbelievable, unbelievable. I think it's gonna take it.

Speaker 7 (09:42):
I think it's going to take more. Is what I
wanted to say before my tongue got in the way
of the words that I wanted to come out.

Speaker 6 (09:50):
Of my mouth. Uh, thank you, Kwame. Dang. Yeah, I
think it's going to take more for Detroit.

Speaker 7 (09:59):
The I am not high on Detroit being as good
as they were, you know, over the last two seasons.

Speaker 6 (10:08):
I'm not they're gonna I think they're going.

Speaker 7 (10:10):
To take a major step back this season, major, not
just a step. I think it's going to be a
pretty pretty disappointing year. Not I think they'll have a
I think they'll win. I just don't think they're gonna
and listen, they have the north on Minnesota is going
to dominate. I believe I could be wrong, McCarthy could

(10:35):
be not as as what we maybe hope for expected.
But I think Minnesota is obviously the toast. But if
it's not Minnesota, it's definitely going to be green Bay.
Green Bay could take a step forward and could possibly
be better than Minnesota, just because I think Jordan Love

(10:56):
is the best quarterback in the division. So I don't
you know, but I think Detroit that that one could
be I think that one could be a tough story,
that that could be a tough year for Detroit fans.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
If you ask, you want to hear a little Dan
Campbell post games, sure not please Hall of Fame game
or not with his team's performance.

Speaker 8 (11:17):
We have our own standards, and it doesn't matter if
you just walked in the door, or you know, you've
only practiced, you know, you've had ten practices, you've it's
just you know, look, we got to take care of
the football. And it doesn't matter you're wearing lines gear.
You got to take care of the ball man or
or it's going to be hard to keep you around,

(11:37):
you know. And and so it's a hard lesson to
be learned out here like that.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
But it's also you know, we got we gotta put
a little pressure.

Speaker 8 (11:45):
Got to apply a little pressure in a good way,
in a good way so that so we get better. Man,
we got to put some emergency on this. It is early,
but it's also it's never too early to get.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Better, right, Yeah, I mean the good news is it
doesn't take much to get better than that last night
because that team's awful.

Speaker 5 (12:01):
They are just atrocious. So congratulations was a hell of
a run.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
But it seems like any more knee jerk reactions.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
I mean, I'll say this, if they performed like that
in their next preseason game, Dan Campbell might get fired.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
You might be in the hot seat.

Speaker 4 (12:16):
Yeah yeah, how about this one though, fire Jim Harbaugh
has taken over as the quarterback.

Speaker 6 (12:23):
Whisper in the NFL. Right there you go.

Speaker 4 (12:25):
I mean, I have a lot of respect for Kyle Shanahan,
who drafted Trey Lance and they couldn't really, I guess
figure out or maybe they didn't give him enough time.
I'm not It's still a conundrum to me what went
wrong with Trey Lance in San Francisco. I mean, watching
them last night, you see the tools, you see the intilligiles.

(12:46):
I know it's a preseason game. I don't want to
make too much of it, but in all seriousness, you're like, Okay,
if if a basically every other quarterback in their career
careers in your system, I give him a little more time.

Speaker 3 (13:02):
That that whole situation was just bizarre to man. And look,
we're not.

Speaker 4 (13:05):
Gonna see Trey Lance, probably after this the preseason, but
good for him. Good for him to ball out like
that in a standalone moment and have the opportunity to
kind of start building back that reputation of what he
can be being a guy's a third overall pick.

Speaker 7 (13:19):
You know what's crazy, He really did not get an
opportunity to destroy his reputation.

Speaker 6 (13:25):
He didn't even play enough. I just think that he.

Speaker 7 (13:29):
Just got caught into a bad situation, as you said,
so in a way, he could be the way he
played last night. Maybe it's not a big enough sample
size to say, oh, you know, he can be great
in the league, but I don't. I don't feel as
though we've seen enough of Trey Lance to have said
that he's a bust away and we'll never see anything

(13:52):
from him. So he's kind of resurrected a feeling like, oh, snap.

Speaker 9 (13:57):
Like Trey Lance was a high draft pick.

Speaker 7 (14:00):
Just the circumstances gotten away. Who would think that mister
irrelevant would be the reason why I'm not with the
team that drafted me. It was some pretty extreme circumstances
that plays to him in the situation he's in. So
why not think that all these years of learning the
disappointment of what took place on how opportunities can present

(14:25):
themselves for one and for others it can be taken away.
I mean, it's a tale of two tapes. But he
could end up being in a situation where he resurfaces
as a starter, because I don't know that he's even
that he has not gotten a fear shake at being

(14:45):
a starter. So if he plays well in this preseason,
who's to say that he doesn't find a way to
start for somebody at Sam Darnold got an opportunity to
start again, And look at what happened for him.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
I've always thought Trey Lance got a rod. I don't
know how bad it looked in practice. The only thing
I could think of if you look at what happened
with San Francisco, if you go back, he got a
couple of starts when Garoppolo got nicked up in his
rookie year, and then his second year was supposed to
be his turn, and he played a game and a
half and the game that he started in Chicago was

(15:18):
a monsoon, literally a monsoon, and then the next week
he ripped his leg up and was gone for the
rest of the year. And that was it like literically
never got an opportunity again. And I always thought to
myself what happened in practice? Because you didn't have a
sample size on the field in an actual game to
be like, oh, yeah, he's done, we don't need hit

(15:38):
him anymore. I've always wondered, how was it that bad
other than just what you saw in the game, Because
the game, there's just not enough there to be able
to make a decision like that on a guy that
you drafted and, by the way, gave up what three
first round picks for and just walked away from. I've
never thought he got a fair shot with San Francisco.

Speaker 4 (15:58):
Most organizations, they don't come back from that like that
head coach, that general manager are fired.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
It's been the exact opposite, Lee.

Speaker 4 (16:06):
I want to bring you in the conversation, though you
send out an email I'm trying to find I mean,
is this just you type of this in if I
was the Saints I trade for him, Lee?

Speaker 3 (16:15):
Or did he just pull this off someone else's comments?

Speaker 6 (16:17):
No?

Speaker 10 (16:18):
I thought that.

Speaker 11 (16:18):
I thought, you know, he's got an opportunity to play
himself into a trading position, and who better to who
would use him than the Saints.

Speaker 10 (16:26):
If I were the Saints, I'd trade for him.

Speaker 5 (16:27):
You know what I call that?

Speaker 2 (16:28):
I mean, I call that a lead jerk reaction. Yeah,
let's do this.

Speaker 4 (16:36):
Can we just get an update maybe on I don't know,
like how the how the Saints are going down there
in training camp. Jeff Duncan, who is a columnist for
the Times Pecune down there in Nola.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
Uh, he had said, there you go.

Speaker 4 (16:54):
Uh, here's an update from yesterday's two minute drill. Tyler
Schuck might have overseen the worst two minute drive in
the history of the NFL during situational work late in practice.

Speaker 6 (17:05):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (17:05):
So uh yeah, yeah, Lee, I think you're on selling
because it sounds like that may be a need for
that if Tyler Shuck is going to be there starting
quarterback at least. In regards to Jeff Duncan, who did
I may add, he did say, I've seen a lot
of practices in my twenty six years covering the Saints,
and today was one of the best that I can

(17:26):
remember from strictly a competitive standpoint plays being made from
both sides at all levels, all over the field. Good stuff,
but then followed that up by saying, at the same
time Tyler Schuck might have ever seen directed the worst
two minute drive in the history of the NFL during
situational work late in practice. Now being a quarterback and

(17:50):
having had some disastrous two minute drives, whether that be
in practice or what have you, I would love to
know what Jeff Duncan saw to make this the single
worst of all he's seen. Like I'm not like when
they get the ball in the twenty five and they
ended up in the back thrown end zone, Like I
need to know what happened in this drive.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
He could elaborate.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
I mean, they want Arch like they want arch Manny
to come home like they uh so, it appears maybe
they're on their way to get in their their wish there.

Speaker 3 (18:19):
So maybe Arch or maybe they want a Lance.

Speaker 6 (18:21):
Maybe they want a Lance. Drew did a doctor Drew?

Speaker 5 (18:26):
Did Kellen Moore? Did Kellen Moore and Trey Lance work
together in Dallas?

Speaker 3 (18:31):
They might have, right, I think there might have been
some overlap there maybe maybe not.

Speaker 4 (18:35):
His Lance was there last year, so and I don't
think no, I don't think that had any actually.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
Because it was he there one year or two years?

Speaker 6 (18:42):
Two years? Maybe there's a year then, yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
Because I remember we were in Ireland when the Cowboys
traded for Trey Lance. I remember Lee and I were
at a bar. Lee was on drink number four hundred
and Trey's old thick tongue.

Speaker 5 (18:57):
Damn well it is.

Speaker 4 (19:01):
That's why way he couldn't get them. He couldn't get them.
You're gonna segue out of this thing, Jonathan. You try
to segue out because guess what we can't. Good sleep

Speaker 5 (23:17):
Well, we've got we got some good news.

Speaker 7 (23:19):
Okay, some good news, and we got some bad news.
But let's go first.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
So, you know, it was announced that the old fitness test,
you know, which I forgot, completely forgot about. I completely
forgot about this, and I think Lee reminded me a
few weeks back about doing that in elementary school where
you had to do this, that physical fitness test the president.

(23:44):
Is it the Presidential Fitness Test? Yes, and so I
completely forgot about it.

Speaker 6 (23:51):
Go to the military, that's why you had to do it.

Speaker 4 (23:53):
Hell no, they're just trying to make us make sure
we're fitting. Still, badass man, This is awesome for America.
Put the foots, get back. These kids need to start
running a mile to see what you've got. Do your
pull ups, do your sit ups, do the sit in reach.

Speaker 6 (24:08):
I love that.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
I'm so glad. Yes, we can leeve.

Speaker 4 (24:12):
Of all the things that you should have hated about
the Presidential Fitness Test, the sit and reach should have
been the one that you actually liked the most. And
you just try to touch your toes.

Speaker 10 (24:20):
No, couldn't have never been able to touch my toes?

Speaker 7 (24:24):
Didn't You have to run the mau And it had
to be under like what like five six minutes or
something like that.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
No, not that fast, but it depended on the age.
So I believe it starts at fourth grade, goes to
twelfth three minutes.

Speaker 6 (24:37):
Was it eight minutes? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (24:38):
I think it has to be under eight, but you
had different requirements in order to finish at like the
top of that. And so the pull ups or pull ups,
and if you can't pull up, I think they'll let
you hang there. The sit ups or they call them
curl ups, there's that as well. There's the mild and
inn the sit in reach.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
And the chin ups are the palm out correcting, Well,
it's pull ups, but yeah, I mean but if you
really want to get well, yeah, if you care that much.
There was two different versions of it. You know, the
palm out of the palm in. The palm out is
always harder on the on the pull up, well, a
pull up is with your hands like turned facing to it.
I just remember they made the other way. I just

(25:15):
remember they made us do two different versions.

Speaker 3 (25:18):
Are you that old? Is that what? No? I just
remember my grandfather's clause, look.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
At me, I'm stacked in Jack brother, all right. Neither
one of them phased me. All right, I passed the
Presidential Fitness test every year.

Speaker 4 (25:30):
I think it's about passing, it's about excelling. It's about
getting the top of the class.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
Yeah, well that needed some work. But listen, this is
good news. I had no idea they had gotten rid
of this. I just assumed that that was still a thing.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
But with all the kids now having a hard time.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
I should have I should have put two and do together.
But I think they got rid of it back in
twenty thirteen, was what I read. That's the last time
they had it, So it's been been a long ass
time since kids have been asked.

Speaker 6 (25:57):
I didn't know. That's not that long ago. I would
have thought would have been longer than that.

Speaker 7 (26:02):
Yeah, twenty thirteen is not that long, so I feel
like it was. This was something that was gone in
like the nineties.

Speaker 10 (26:09):
I did it in twenty eleven.

Speaker 5 (26:12):
Did you pass?

Speaker 10 (26:14):
Yeah? I was fit back then.

Speaker 6 (26:16):
You were in high school in twenty eleven.

Speaker 5 (26:18):
Yeah, yeah. I like to touch your toes test because
I was a dancer, so I was always like I
can reach further than you.

Speaker 6 (26:32):
You were a dancer like like my intro music dancer.

Speaker 4 (26:36):
Damn no oh, she's a private dancer dancing money.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
Do you want.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
Private now? President Trump yesterday made the announcement. He was
obviously there flanked by luminaries like Triple H.

Speaker 5 (27:04):
Of the w w E to try and to help.

Speaker 3 (27:08):
Can you please name everyone who was there? Because what
a group?

Speaker 6 (27:12):
Like?

Speaker 4 (27:12):
What a what a group of people of random selection
that they've put together for this?

Speaker 6 (27:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (27:17):
Well, I mean Triple H was there. Harrison Butker is
also on the council. Lawrence Taylor, Saquon Barkley was there also.

Speaker 8 (27:28):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
Trump made sure to mention the Dolphins quarterback who's also
part of this council.

Speaker 14 (27:33):
To uh tag oh vall yah when he's not injured
A world war tag oh vall yah when he's not injured.

Speaker 5 (27:48):
What's so funny?

Speaker 6 (27:58):
World war tag?

Speaker 14 (28:01):
Tag oh volle yah when he's not injured, he's great.

Speaker 6 (28:10):
You put on your belly to lose weight? Is that
what you use to lose weight?

Speaker 5 (28:14):
What's so funny?

Speaker 6 (28:15):
La bar?

Speaker 7 (28:15):
Why you that like a la that the name for
that lap band to keep you from being able to
eat too much?

Speaker 5 (28:20):
Why are you laughing at our president like that?

Speaker 2 (28:22):
Once you have more and more classroom respect, he's trying
to get some of these fat asses off their iPads.
That's get him on a getting on a chin up bar.

Speaker 7 (28:30):
I'm not mad at it, but dang, I thought I
messed up words bad.

Speaker 6 (28:36):
All right?

Speaker 3 (28:40):
Tag oh volle yah.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
When he's not injured, I mean he does make a
point when he's not injured. Uh, they're they're pretty good,
So he does make a he does make a fair
point there.

Speaker 10 (28:52):
I it's listen.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
It's a difficult name, all right, Like I don't you
know some people have struggled with that. But this is
good news, man, and people are gonna get I'm sure
somebody will be outraged by it.

Speaker 5 (29:02):
Somebody will feel.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
Like this is you know, inappropriate and you're you're, you know,
trying to out kids, et cetera, et cetera. Somebody would
be bothered by this. I'm sure somebody's been outraged by this.
Somebody will, you know, take.

Speaker 6 (29:14):
That you have to be able to do physical activities.

Speaker 4 (29:19):
Crazy man, they're bringing like Jim back to gym class
where you're not just like hanging out, you know, for
an hour.

Speaker 7 (29:27):
I'll never understand when I heard people say I failed Jim.
That was like supposed to be your easy A on
your report card. How do you fail Jim? Jim?

Speaker 6 (29:41):
Kickball? You know what else do you do in gym? Tag?
Capture the flag? Come on?

Speaker 10 (29:49):
I had a semester of juggling, juggle What did you juggle?
Least juggling a bunch of bosses? Yeah, yeah, there's the diabolos.
You juggled the Diabolos.

Speaker 5 (30:04):
What what do you mean that's a class?

Speaker 3 (30:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (30:07):
Well, one of the semesters of physical ed of PE
was juggling, and uh, that's weird. You learned different types
of juggling. You learned you know, the ball, the diablo.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
Uh that you juggled a lot of balls. Le We
don't have that in the Midwest. They don't have any
any juggling. It's just real sports with balls.

Speaker 5 (30:27):
How many balls can you juggle?

Speaker 7 (30:28):
It?

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Once?

Speaker 5 (30:29):
Where did you go?

Speaker 9 (30:29):
Clown?

Speaker 6 (30:30):
Where'd you go?

Speaker 5 (30:31):
Clown?

Speaker 9 (30:31):
College?

Speaker 10 (30:32):
Three?

Speaker 11 (30:33):
I can do three. I killed it on the test.
I wasn't really good, but for some reason I got
in the zone.

Speaker 6 (30:37):
Only now it.

Speaker 10 (30:42):
Just went really long. Duggle them for a long time.
I don't for a long time, I did I beat
a hundred?

Speaker 5 (30:49):
How is that?

Speaker 3 (30:50):
How is it ed you beat a hundred?

Speaker 12 (30:53):
What?

Speaker 10 (30:53):
I don't know? I juggled it balls?

Speaker 5 (30:58):
How is that considered pe that?

Speaker 9 (31:01):
Well?

Speaker 10 (31:01):
We did that.

Speaker 4 (31:03):
You got lancerong, lance arms strong another guy?

Speaker 5 (31:12):
Uh, I just I've never heard of that in my life.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
So we so we got rid of the chin up,
pull up, stretch to your toes test so that Lee
could go juggle somebody's ball.

Speaker 10 (31:26):
It was the same time.

Speaker 6 (31:28):
Some would say them balls end up there with that
chin up.

Speaker 5 (31:31):
Now, Lee, is it true you had to do part
of that blindfolded?

Speaker 10 (31:35):
Yes, extra you get extra points for that one on
your backley.

Speaker 5 (31:40):
I don't understand.

Speaker 10 (31:43):
On a curve what do you mean by that?

Speaker 2 (31:48):
Did you have to do while you reach and touch
your toes? I've never heard of that in my life.
That's that's absolutely bizarre. And was that Sherman Oaks Notre Dame? Uh?

Speaker 3 (31:58):
This was uh?

Speaker 11 (31:59):
No, this was middle school down the street from Notre Dame,
the Funal School to Notre Dame High School.

Speaker 5 (32:06):
And Gen Carlos Stanton had to do the same test.

Speaker 10 (32:09):
No, that I went to high school with.

Speaker 11 (32:11):
Gen Carlo didn't go to middle school with him, but
he might have.

Speaker 10 (32:14):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (32:15):
He probably could juggle, by the way, a little piece
of history for him. You know what's interesting about them
bringing back this fitness test is because it's Donald Trump.
Like everyone's gonna have an issue with it. Do you
want to know who initially brought this program? I'm pretty
sure it's JFK. Are you sure I saw JFK on this?

Speaker 10 (32:40):
I saw Eisenhower fifty six.

Speaker 3 (32:43):
Okay, well, which side of the isle was Eisenhower on?

Speaker 10 (32:49):
I don't know, Lee, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (32:52):
Once you stopped by the way, Lee, double check on that.
I think it might be JFK's program. Mind you, the
whole point is like this should be so and that
like everyone should be like, let's let's try to be healthy,
try to be fit, especially for our kids.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
I mean, look, they just want to spend time on
the iPad. That's all they care about. Like it's not
it's not about getting out there. I swear to God,
I go to parks all the time with my son.
I hardly ever see anybody out there. I hardly ever
see anybody out there. People just aren't into it anymore.
You know who's into it though, ceede lamb so Brian

(33:29):
Schottenheimer and the Cowboys. Uh, he got pissed at his
team because they were thrown down up and knock snart
as Brad he calls it. And they were fighting in practice,
and so Brian Schottenheimer said, you guys want to fight,
let's fight. He made him run, made him run their
asses into the ground and CD Lamb fighting. Yeah, ceedee
Lamb was a big fan of it.

Speaker 15 (33:48):
Listen, do we want to be champions? Because like throughout
the years of us being here, talent was never the
problem for us. It was always discipline. How do we
get ahead and not behind? You know what I'm saying now?
How do we not shoot ourselves in the foot? How
do we not how do we not hurt ourselves? Obviously
when the momentum is going our way, like we need
to continue to keep out foot on the pedal and

(34:09):
make the right play. And I always think about the team.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
I mean, it sounds like a little shots fired at
Mike McCarthy, but nonetheless he didn't mind it and make
them make them run out there. You know, things are changing, man,
People are going to start to get into better shape
in this country. Telling you things are.

Speaker 7 (34:24):
That's interesting because Bill Belichick used to enjoy watching his
guys fighting practice, just saying I don't know.

Speaker 4 (34:34):
I think I think all the coaches like seeing that
sort of competitiveness and spirit about guy like players. Like
don't get me wrong, they don't want guys breaking their hands,
throwing punches you don't want to get, or things, you know,
distracting from practice. But to your point, especially if it's
in the trenches, I don't think they mind that. You know,

(34:54):
sometimes or like mix, we get some DV coaches who
want to see that too, you know, little fire.

Speaker 6 (34:59):
Start, no fight.

Speaker 7 (35:00):
I was known for it if we came out flat,
if said okay.

Speaker 6 (35:09):
Well, moving on the go.

Speaker 7 (35:12):
I refuse to give him any more light on trying
to build his career off of talking about fighting me.

Speaker 6 (35:17):
So I'm not even going to reference it.

Speaker 7 (35:20):
That dude has built an entire career off of talking
about a story that he totally does not remember correctly.
Really well, I was there, and this man tells me
in my face when we're discussing the story, you must
have CTU.

Speaker 6 (35:37):
You can't remember. He's like I was saying, lineman, I'm
a lineback, and.

Speaker 3 (35:41):
He tells you where he did the radio show from
an isle. It's it's bizarre that too.

Speaker 7 (35:47):
It's weird, man, I'm not giving that anyway. I used
to start fights when we came out and guys weren't interested.

Speaker 6 (35:55):
There.

Speaker 7 (35:56):
There are those days where you get on the field
and you clear can see a lack of urgency, a
sense of urgency, and the approach, the lather isn't there,
The energy is low, and the best way to the
One thing you will never see is a lack of

(36:18):
competitiveness after a fight. Every time you have a fight,
it's like, okay, you want to go there, you want
to take it there. Then the level of competition it raises.
I don't know why it is, but that's just what
the result is. So every once in a while, like
it's like, okay, you'd be like, all.

Speaker 6 (36:39):
Right, who were going to get today? Who am I
going to get today? All right?

Speaker 4 (36:43):
By the way, for the research on the Presidential Fitness Program,
Lee didn't read through this. So Eisenhower actually started this council,
but it was JFK that actually instituted and standardized the
fitness tests.

Speaker 3 (36:57):
For the youth.

Speaker 4 (36:59):
So so there you Lee, I know you're busy with
your slushy or whatever.

Speaker 3 (37:02):
You're doing.

Speaker 11 (37:03):
But oh, come on, give me, give me some credit.
Eisenhower established the Presidential Council of Youth Fitness in nineteen fifty, so.

Speaker 4 (37:10):
They didn't do anything with the test though, dude, that's
why again they're giving credit. The RFK is trying to
give credit to JFK.

Speaker 3 (37:16):
Do you get the theory here?

Speaker 6 (37:17):
Lee?

Speaker 3 (37:18):
Are you catching on?

Speaker 8 (37:18):
Pop?

Speaker 15 (37:19):
No?

Speaker 10 (37:19):
I get it now? Okay, I'm sorry to read through
the entire fitness test.

Speaker 3 (37:23):
Sorry you didn't read. You didn't read after the first sentence. Yeah,
that's that's.

Speaker 4 (37:26):
Yeah, you get it together with your thick tongue. Just
go get a slushy. Go get a little slush with
a beer or whatever it is.

Speaker 12 (37:34):
Your big as.

Speaker 6 (37:38):
Now, I'll make you a slushy.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
Yeah, you guys doing? You're doing a slushies in the
other room. Are they slushies or is it they're icy?

Speaker 10 (37:45):
The what do you call these? Shaved ice? Shaved dice?

Speaker 5 (37:48):
You gonna put a little, uh little booze in there.

Speaker 11 (37:51):
I wish ran out of the emergency stash.

Speaker 6 (37:54):
So you will stash.

Speaker 3 (37:56):
I just saw pier Go.

Speaker 7 (37:57):
Bas a flask to go into a movie theater, but
you never bring I've never seen you pop a flask
out at the station.

Speaker 10 (38:08):
I'm very sneaky, sneaky. No, I'm kidding.

Speaker 6 (38:11):
So you do bring a flask to the studio.

Speaker 10 (38:14):
No, I do not.

Speaker 7 (38:15):
But why would you bring the flask in most other
places and not the studio?

Speaker 5 (38:19):
Why would he need a flask?

Speaker 2 (38:20):
He's had an IV drift next to him, straight bombay sapphire.

Speaker 5 (38:25):
We're doing some tiger's blood right now.

Speaker 2 (38:29):
I mean, if you had to be honest right now,
if you add a little mini bottle, would you throw
it in one of those shaved ices right now?

Speaker 10 (38:36):
Is it Friday?

Speaker 6 (38:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (38:37):
Yeah, yeah, sure, if I had one?

Speaker 6 (38:39):
Will you have a mini bottle? Lee? Yes? Or no? Truth? No?
In the car?

Speaker 3 (38:45):
You are so full of it. You know you've got
a mini bow in your car or something right now?

Speaker 5 (38:49):
No, you don't have a fly.

Speaker 3 (38:50):
You keep an emergency one. You told us that.

Speaker 11 (38:52):
I told you I used the emergency the other day
for one of them. Out of emergencies, I don't know,
I don't remember.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
It sounds like it's a big I was at the pool,
I need.

Speaker 10 (39:04):
I needed a drink.

Speaker 1 (39:05):
Wait?

Speaker 5 (39:05):
Why why was why was it an emergency? I was
getting gas? I was waiting for stuck in traffic waiting
for the pomp.

Speaker 3 (39:11):
Yeah, yeah, I was at a stop sided.

Speaker 10 (39:16):
No, I do not drink and drive.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
So you have no booze on you whatsoever. Not in
your car, nope, not in your bag, nope. I find
that hard to believe.

Speaker 10 (39:24):
I do too.

Speaker 6 (39:25):
I don't believe that.

Speaker 3 (39:26):
Yeah, it was my dad.

Speaker 10 (39:28):
It was my dad's birthday. For the old man's birthday.

Speaker 6 (39:32):
I don't believe.

Speaker 3 (39:33):
When was your dad's birthday?

Speaker 6 (39:34):
Yesterday?

Speaker 10 (39:34):
Tuesday?

Speaker 6 (39:35):
Lyon?

Speaker 3 (39:36):
You're probably still hung over from that.

Speaker 6 (39:37):
I haven't.

Speaker 10 (39:38):
I know, I haven't been drinking this week.

Speaker 7 (39:41):
His dad's birthday did not like not like every day
this week, but I mean one day.

Speaker 10 (39:45):
Yeah, drigg for dad.

Speaker 6 (39:47):
What's your dad's real birthday?

Speaker 10 (39:50):
It's the Tuesday. It's Tuesday, twenty night. What day, July
twenty ninth.

Speaker 6 (39:56):
So there you got on?

Speaker 10 (39:57):
No, Yeah, have you belated, buddy?

Speaker 2 (39:59):
Yeah, happy birthday, pops, Happy birthday debt.

Speaker 10 (40:04):
All right, yeah, there you go.

Speaker 5 (40:06):
Well that sounds like so there that was the last
of the booth.

Speaker 7 (40:09):
Sorry, guys, that was a very sketchy story, and I
think Carol Mom is disappointed.

Speaker 1 (40:14):
Yes, you 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 2 (40:25):
So we might have a little bit of an issue
in DC. Terry McLaurin has requested a trade he'd like out.
What requested a trade he'd like out? And this according
to our this according to our buddy Jordan Schultz. He's
looking for his deal, not happy with the way things
are progressing on a contract extension. And so Terry McLaurin

(40:49):
uh has at least publicly or at least let it
get public that he would like.

Speaker 5 (40:53):
Out of Washington. So there you go.

Speaker 7 (40:57):
I mean, no one wants to ever feel under appreciated
and undervalued when they've proven time and time again that
they are valuable. And I gotta say, for as much
fanfare as there's been generated since the new ownership group
has taken over this right now so far, is maybe

(41:24):
the first first bad move that they're logging as a group.
I mean, they have been they have been credited with
changing the culture quickly. And while I'll say business is business,
so you have to understand that they still have to
operate in a business manner.

Speaker 6 (41:45):
And I get that. But let's be clear here.

Speaker 7 (41:49):
If you think for two seconds that the current roster
that they have, if they were to lose McLaren McLaurin, McLaurin,
that this is a better team, this is a better
situation for Jaydon Daniels going into his sophomore season. It's

(42:10):
a terrible measurement of what you think this team is
if you were to allow that to happen. So right now,
while I'll say I hope that this is just them
taking their time to get the deal done and they'll
fix the relationship with Terry and they move on from it,

(42:31):
but him wanting a trade and thinking that it's okay
for your best receiver and one of your best leaders
on the team and in the locker room to not
feel wanted and want to get out of there. You
don't want to fall back into bad old habits if
you're the Washington Commanders.

Speaker 3 (42:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (42:54):
I mean, if you look at the roster just from
last year alone, the next closest in terms of just
receiving yards, well zach Ertz at tight end. So if
that gives you any indication, I know they've got Deebo Samuel, but.

Speaker 3 (43:07):
A lot of people feel like maybe his best days.

Speaker 4 (43:12):
Leg They feel like it's some of his best days
are behind him. This to me is purely a tactic
by Terry McLaurin to try to force Washington to do
something sooner than later and not drag this out till
week one. If you're looking for the deadline for when
this deal is gonna get done, it's gonna be before
week one, and then, by the way, the deal will

(43:32):
get done. I think what makes this a little bit
difficult with Terry is, and I've said this before about
some other guys who you know, weren't drafted in the
first round and when they got their extension, it's like
it's almost like they're still trying to prove themselves.

Speaker 3 (43:47):
You know.

Speaker 4 (43:48):
Terry, after you know, his first couple of years as
a rookie, you're like, all right, this guy can play,
he can be the guy, and he's done everything the
organization has asked of him. So he signed an extension
off as a rookie deal, which came up sooner than
because again it wasn't a first round pick. He's a
third round pick, and at that point in time, you know,
he was getting paid almost twenty three million a year,
which was about what that average annual value was. The

(44:12):
hard thing is is that we kind of find ourselves
now in a very similar spot to Trey Hendrickson in
the sense that you know, Terry's thirty, and you know
he's still gonna make a good amount. This year, his
cap hits almost twenty six million, but he wants more,
and that more is going to come somewhere in the
ballpark of thirty three million per year. Thirty million per year.

(44:36):
I mean, he's he's been don't get me wrong. He's
the number one wide receiver in Washington, but when you
start talking about that sort of money, you're now looking
him as a top five, top three. I mean, he'd
be the second highest paid receiver in the league if
he started going thirty three million plus a year. So
that's what makes this difficult is he's going into the
last year of his deal, you know, playing under it. Now,

(44:58):
he's got a voidable year. Next year he'll become a
free agent, and he just wants more, some long term security.
And we always talk about that ripe age of thirty.
It gets difficult for teams to make a big financial
commitment despite the fact this guy's been everything you'd hoped
you would be in Washington. So again, very similar to Hendrickson,
a guy who's thirty or thirty plus has proven himself

(45:20):
on the field without a doubt. But now you see
two teams and Cincinnati and Washington who are a little
hesitant to show out the big bucks for it.

Speaker 6 (45:27):
Can I ask you guys a question based off of
what you just said, do you have to take.

Speaker 5 (45:34):
Damn sorry, Barla answered the question.

Speaker 7 (45:39):
Okay, thing, So Jonas, do you have to take into
consideration with old thick tongue Brady just said about about
Terry as to how this will impact Jayden Daniels, Because
if I'm Washington, does thirty three million impact me better?

(46:03):
If Jayde and Daniels has another stellar season or if
Jayde and Daniels takes a major step backwards seemingly a
major step backwards because there's not enough production from or
enough talent from that receiver's position. Is it better to
just eat the thirty three million? I'm basically saying, because

(46:26):
you'll make it up on the eat it, eat it?

Speaker 5 (46:28):
Yeah? Do you also?

Speaker 6 (46:30):
That's what I think.

Speaker 2 (46:31):
I also think it doesn't make any sense at this
point if they've gone through everything they've gone through and
then to just all of a sudden, you know, right
before the season trade Terry McLaurin like it just.

Speaker 3 (46:43):
Like he requested. He's not They're not going to no,
That's why the player says it.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
And I think somebody point, somebody pointed out like the
last three you've seen, like Brandon Aiyuk and like a
couple other receivers around the league have pulled this move.
None of them got traded, Like none of them got
traded over the last couple of years.

Speaker 5 (47:02):
So I just find it hard to believe.

Speaker 7 (47:03):
But it's like the only recourse you have right is
to say that you can hold out, don't want to
pay men, you can hold out you don't want I mean,
if you don't want to hold out, if you can't,
if you don't have to. I'm saying, all right, if
you don't want me, if you don't want done, then
get rid of me.

Speaker 3 (47:19):
Right.

Speaker 4 (47:20):
But here's the difference. If the team had come out
and said we've given Terry McLaurin the permission to request it,
you know, to seek a trade, then you know they're
trying to like deal them, right, like you know you're
they're giving his agent permission to go talk to other teams.

Speaker 3 (47:34):
This is one sided.

Speaker 4 (47:35):
This is just him saying that I guarantee you talked
Dad and Peter's talk to anyone within that organization, and
they're gonna sit there and say to you, no, we're
not getting rid of them.

Speaker 3 (47:43):
This is just their tactic of trying to get more.

Speaker 4 (47:46):
Would put more pressure on us to sign them to
a deal before a week one, and I'll let this
thing drag out. But that's how this usually works. The
owners the teams, they can be patient because they know
eventually the player will come back from his road trip
down the floor, or the player is going to sit
there and say, I'm tired of not, you know, putting
myself in a position to be ready to play a

(48:06):
great year, and I want to be out there. I
want Pete, I want to I want to be with
Jadan Daniels, I want to build, continue to build with him.
So I look at it and just say this is
all a tactic and employ they'll get a deal done
before week one.

Speaker 3 (48:18):
I'd be shocked.

Speaker 4 (48:19):
He'll probably make someone in the ballpark of you know,
thirty million average annual value, and I would assume it's
gonna be like a three year extension, and I think
two years of it will probably be guaranteed, and that's
probably what they're trying to negotiate now. Very again, very
similar to Trey Hendrickson. If you remember the port that
came out, they said they were only willing to give
him one year of really true guarantees in that extension.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
Lee told me before the show that part of the
request from Terry McLaurin to be traded is because they
won't go back to their former team name.

Speaker 5 (48:51):
Like you said that, that's part.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
Of the what he's upset about as well too, So
it's not just the money, it's the former team name.
And I don't know where Lee saw that report. Lee,
where did you see that report that you were telling
me that he wants him to go back to that
other name.

Speaker 10 (49:03):
Oh?

Speaker 11 (49:03):
I thought I heard it from the horse's mouth that
you know, he was raised off that so got.

Speaker 6 (49:07):
You that'll dick tongue Quartes.

Speaker 4 (49:11):
By the way, the Washington Commandos had the twenty sixth
fewest dollars to spend under the cap.

Speaker 3 (49:19):
So that's one other thing to think about.

Speaker 4 (49:22):
Is he is gonna he's thirty He'll be thirty one
next year, you do have to sign Jayde and Daniels
to an extension, so you're already starting the cap planning
for that. And even though you want those two locked
step and look again, it's only Jayden's second year. But
I think after year three, if you're smart and you're Washington,
that's when you sign Jade and Daniels to an extension
so you don't allow it to get too much more expensive.

Speaker 5 (49:46):
I mean, you got some poll over there.

Speaker 6 (49:47):
Why don't you, uh, you know, get I got some pool.

Speaker 5 (49:50):
Yeah, you got some poll over there in Washington.

Speaker 4 (49:51):
I don't know, right, I blame that disappointing Sean Taylor,
you know, statue on you.

Speaker 3 (49:58):
I thought you were going to throw a fit about that.

Speaker 5 (50:00):
Is that actually a status?

Speaker 7 (50:01):
You're talking about? The wire hangar statue? Yeah, whatever thing
they did was I would have never been a part
of that.

Speaker 5 (50:10):
I thought.

Speaker 4 (50:10):
I thought you were gonna throw up like an uproar
about it enough to get hostile on them.

Speaker 3 (50:15):
You know.

Speaker 7 (50:15):
You know it's interesting. I interviewed another person yesterday during
my time here collecting content, and it happened to be
a guy by the name of Vinnie Serrado. And if
you know that name. You know that he was the
great GM in San Francisco and then ended up in
Washington and was the guy that was a part of

(50:36):
drafting me and Chris Samuels in that two thousand class.
I don't I think they have to have some strong
leadership from their GM's position, and they have to do
things that are above board. And even if, again I

(50:58):
stated earlier, the business business, it has to be business.
I get that, But you're building good will in this
market that you've now come into and taken over the franchise.

Speaker 6 (51:12):
Don't f up the good will. Like sometimes you just.

Speaker 7 (51:16):
Got to say, you know what, he's going to get
lucky on this one because we haven't owned the team
long enough. We haven't had enough success, enough feel good
stories where we can handle things the way some of
these other organizations handle things. Sorry for what is worth,
but you've come to expect what the Bengals are going

(51:36):
to do. You've come to expect what the Dallas Cowboys
are going to do, and they accept it and they say, well,
that's just what Jerry does.

Speaker 6 (51:47):
That's just what the Bengals do. But you just took
over this team.

Speaker 7 (51:53):
Don't create these crazy, unnecessary narratives and doing that to
a player like Terry, I think put you in a
situation where you don't necessarily have to be there.

Speaker 6 (52:05):
You know, you.

Speaker 7 (52:06):
Gotta sign him because you do not want Jayden Daniels
play to fall off. I'm sorry. You gotta do it.
You gotta do it. Don't play around, just do it.

Speaker 4 (52:17):
I can't believe you'd mentioned Vinnie Serrado and tell just
a small portion of his path to Washington. I mean,
you do know he was at Notre Dame before that
recruiting as the recruiting coordinator will helping them win a
national championship eighty.

Speaker 3 (52:35):
You do know that.

Speaker 4 (52:37):
When he went for the forty niners before before he
went to Washington, Pol, he brought in guys like Dripping
Waters and Brian's Young, helping them win a Super Bowl.
And mind you, you didn't even mention the fact that
he did appear in kindergarten Ninja during.

Speaker 3 (52:55):
That stint when he was with the forty nine ers.

Speaker 4 (52:58):
My bad, so not once you mentioned any of these
accolades by my guy, Vinny Serrata, who brought me in
for a visit to tell the aforementioned owner, which we
will not name, his name the story of why I
benched at the combine, and then I was out of that.

Speaker 3 (53:13):
Bang your boy, little Danny. He wanted to hear the
story from the horse's mouth. That's how that came about.

Speaker 6 (53:24):
Very strange.

Speaker 4 (53:25):
I'll never forget the face Joe Gibbs face in our
meeting room at the combine when I told him what
Charlie said to me when he asked me, why did
you bench press at the combine? And I was like, well, coach,
I was like, if you know, Charlie, I was like,
this is what he said, and his eyes lit up
and he was like, Oh, I can't believe you're cust

(53:45):
in front of me like that. And then that was
the end of That was pretty much the end of
that after a few back and forth.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
That's just so bizarre that an owner would fly you
in to hear a workout story.

Speaker 5 (53:56):
Kind of weird.

Speaker 4 (53:57):
That's how they operated. Man, we did have a nice
steak dinner.

Speaker 6 (54:01):
There you go. What happened? Now? What else? That?

Speaker 3 (54:05):
That was it?

Speaker 4 (54:06):
By the way, I was still taking back to how
crappy the facilities were. Yeah, I didn't go out like
you did on the town I was. I wasn't going
by the Washington Bullets games. Seeing your boy agent zero
out there.

Speaker 6 (54:18):
I am not that old jerk face. They were the Wizards, yeah.

Speaker 3 (54:27):
Are we sure?

Speaker 6 (54:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (54:28):
When did they go from Bullets to Wizards? By the way,
if you think.

Speaker 6 (54:33):
About it, they weren't the Bullets when I got.

Speaker 2 (54:35):
That city has had a real bad run on team
names like they've Whoever made the original decision.

Speaker 7 (54:41):
I mean, the Wizards is definitely for d C. I
mean that just seemed a little bit contradicting to call
somebody the Wizards and Chocolate City just seemed a little
misplaced to me, a little out of place, But you know,
who am I to judge
