here on a Friday morning?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Good morning, how do you biling?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
I me listen, everything is good. You know, it's a Friday.
We got a bunch of football coming up, we got
football to look back on. I mean, this is this
is what it's all about. Here, the nitty.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Greed showing us you're a Bears fan, you've got to
feel really good after last night.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I mean again, I feel like that's misinformation. Definitely not
a Bears fan. But if I was a Bears fan.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
It was a pretty impressive showing.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
I was impressive. It only took nearly a year for
them to get another win. But yeah, days it warrants.
It warrants the celebration in the locker room afterwards, which
I did find. By the way, are those locker rooms
just really tiny or is it me? It seemed like
the visiting locker room there in Washington at RFK Stadium
was really small, you know, based on I'm just wondering. Okay, Well, Nonetheless,
(02:25):
the Chicago Bears get it done, just like everybody expected
six point underdogs going into the game, and it was
a beating. Washington got a beating, and the Bears pull
off a forty to twenty win. Justin Fields was fantastic,
but DJ Moore is a beast, good god, unstoppable performance
(02:47):
last night, and so the Bears show some signs of life.
But in totality, if you actually look at it, the
offense and Justin Fields has at least shown something over
the past couple of couple of games. I'll say that.
I will say that much over the past couple of
games they have looked significantly better than they looked the
previous handful of games to start off the season. So
(03:08):
that's optimism there, trying to be optimistic.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Did we like rush the judgment with Justin Fields and
the Bears is that fair to throw out that question
given how they looked last week and even though they
blew a lead, and you could probably blame it on
the coaching decision to go four on fourth and one
stead of kicking a field goal, But like to have
you rushed to judgment or have people rushed the judgment
(03:33):
on this Bears team. I know it's one win, but
at least offensively speaking, like he has looked pretty good
the past two weeks.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Yeah, I don't know about rush to judgment. I thought
they had a good showing last night and it was
on prime television. Rush to judgment. They look good. They
look good on both sides of the ball. I mean
they were able to run the ball, they were able
to get to give justin fields enough time to throw
(04:03):
the ball. That's a that's a fine defense front that
Washington has. And they were playing hard. It wasn't like
Washington wasn't wasn't playing hard. They were playing hard.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
I think it's I don't want to be a rush
to saying that we we rush to judgment, Like I
almost feel like I need to see them play play
more like that was the first time I got to
see them four quarters. But they look good on defense,
them having admans in at at middle linebacker out of
(04:41):
out of Buffalo. They got them from Buffalo. I think
that was a tremendous ad for them. On defense. You
can tell they're they're they're a lot more stouter than
what they've been on defense. But I mean, they made
some big plays. I think there was some real cover
coverage breakdowns. I mean, or maybe they weren't. Maybe they
(05:03):
were just gambling too much and we're getting burnt. But
I thought they had a great showing. But I don't
think one game takes me into the realm of thinking
that we you know, there's still I don't think that
they're not I don't think they're a great team or
or a super good team right now.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I don't. I don't know if they're what they are.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Can I ask you guys this, How does Washington at
home playing a team like that roll out that on
a short week?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I mean, that's they were awful? Yeah, Like, how's that happen?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
It's hard to put it. It's hard to figure that out.
And for a couple of reasons. One, I mean, last
week they really should have beat Philly they gave up
that game. And I know they got kind of bludgeoned
a couple of weeks ago, but this was a team
that I thought like was going to be able to
stay competitive and they suffer a loss at home in
(06:05):
primetime in a short week, which your team has the
biggest advantage there, and you're like, wait a second, Like
this field was so slanted in favor of Washington's front
being able to pressure and get after Justin Field.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
So look, credit Luke.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Getzi in the game plan, Credit the offensive line, they
protected fields better, and give Justin Fields a lot of
credit obviously, and Dj Moore with the way he played.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
But that was the most surprising thing.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
And I know it's the NFL and every week, you know,
and any team could beat any team, but there was
just it didn't seem like Washington want to be there
the first half, and by the time they finally turned
it on, it was too late. Yeah, so I came
away more and I don't know if I was I'm
a I was impressed by what chicagoan offensively, probably more
(06:54):
surprised or shocked by how Washington looked though.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yeah, And I just I was watching it going so
you would assume, yeah, they were competitive last week, they're
at home. You know, we talked about it a touchdown favorite,
and then the Bears coming off another devastating loss. They've
been like all the drama, all the dysfunction there, everything
that's gone on. Everything was to your point, slanted in
(07:19):
the favor of Washington for this game. And then defensively,
and Ron Rivera is a defensive guy, man like credit
to Justin Fields and DJ Moore, but there were some
of those throws. DJ Moore was wide open, like there
was just like they've blown coverage or whatever it was.
And I'm just fascinated by how that happens on a
short week when all of the advantages seemingly are going
(07:41):
in your direction.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
There, I'll just I'll add this, when you have a
running attack and you're you're clicking on those types of
cylinders where not only is your running back getting some
good yards. Herbert carried the ball ten times, but he
(08:02):
was very very effective. I mean, he had a seven
point six yard average last night, which is that's phenomenal
to have that average per Carrie h and Justin Fields
ran the ball very effectively. And even even you know
how you guys say his name, Blask Blasking, Blasting, blasting.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Game, Carrie blasting game.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
He I mean he even contributed. They they had balance,
and I think that that caught I think it caught
Washington off guard.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
And think about this too, So Rashawn Johnson went out
with a concussion. Then you had the injury to Khalil
Herbert where he tried to catch a pass and it
looked like he either you know, sprained his ankle or whatever.
He couldn't really continue after that. So to your point,
they had to rely on Blasting Game, Who's a full
back who never touches the ball, and still Washington couldn't
(08:58):
stop him, and.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
They gave it to him eight times. They gave it
to him, ay time.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
I don't get it. I really don't understand.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
That's that's what Washington has been known for. So this
is something that they have to work to distance themselves
from by having better showings and these types of games.
They'll and you guys made mention of it. They'll play
a Philadelphia Heart and win, or they'll play at Philadelphia
(09:32):
Heart and and just lose, just come up short and
playing that game, and then you see them in a
game that for all intents and purposes. They're supposed to
win the game and they don't win it, and this
was one of them. And it's on prime time. I
mean I think it is Thursday, still prime time. Yeah,
I still considerable.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
I means, I guess is it primetime in the sense
of I guess even though it's streaming, and consider it
primetime because of the time, But.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I guess, I guess it's a primetime game. I mean,
if you're able to stream it. And they lay an
egg like the offense looked like they just couldn't find
a rhythm. They couldn't find a running game, so they
purely had to depend on Sam Howe moving them down
the field by air, and they and he did it.
(10:23):
Like they they made it an interesting game for a moment.
Like you said, Q second half, they came out and
it seemed as though they had a renewed type of commitment.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
To get back into the game. I mean, I thought they.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Played well in the third quarter and on into the fourth,
but it just I mean, the Bears outclassed them. They
outclassed them. They made the big plays when they needed them.
They had explosive plays and right when they felt like
you know, they were in the game, I think they
got it down to what eight points? They got it
(10:58):
down to a one possession game or was it one
possession game? I missed a two point conversion, but I
think at one point they got it down.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Anyway, they pulled away.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
You know, they were able to answer the call and
put a nail in the coffin of the game. And
if you told me that the Bears were a competitive
team in the NFC North, and this was incompetitive team
going into this game, and I had never seen them play,
and then I saw them play last night, I think
(11:30):
they're a competitive team. But I don't know. That's what
bad teams do. They have good weeks and then they
have bad weeks. They're not consistent, and so I don't know.
It's weird for Washington to look the way they did
last night, but it's interesting to see that Chicago look
(11:50):
the way that they did last night. And then it
makes it more intriguing to watch both teams moving forward,
because Washington will come back, they'll play a hard team
and they'll beat them, and then they'll play a team
that they're supposed to beat and then they'll lose. And
that's like their pattern. That's been the pattern at least, So,
I mean the.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Tough thing for them is they've got some extra rest now,
but they've got back to back weeks on the road,
but two very winnable games in Atlanta and then New York.
So it's kind of interesting to see, you know, how
this team will respond. They're two and three right now,
and I think if you drop one to Atlanta, like
you're all of a sudden in a really, really tough
(12:30):
spot and starting to lose some momentum. And I don't
know if I mean I said it before the year,
Washington is that team that you know, they were really
impressed with Sam Howe. He wasn't drafted quite as high
if things went to the wayside and they were in
striking distance of a Kaleb Williams or Drake May, but
Killer Williams in particular.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Because he's from the DC area. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Right, it's new ownership group. You could see how a
new ownership group like that we want to go all in.
And I'll be curious to see how the next couple
of weeks go and how we were talking about the team,
what the team looks like, and it's it's it's not
like an indictment on anyone involved. It's just anytime there's
(13:15):
new ownership and things go wrong, there's always people are
always looking for an excuse to bring in their own
head coach, have their own quarterback.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
And that's that's where I'm curious see where this team goes.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Because the roster and the way they played it times
this year, it makes you think that there's no way
they should be a team drafting the top five or
top three or four. But when you start to look
at their schedule now, how it sets up. Four of
their next five games are on the road, that is
tough sledding in.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
The NFL, and their only home game is versus Philly.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Yeah, but you tell me how that how that looks
that out of it because I don't care who you
play on the road, Like, you know, you're you're probably
going to be an underdog.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
You know everything's stacked against you.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
And granted's New England and Seattle after Philly, But I
don't know, man, like this, this schedule and the way
this season for Washington could go, could all of a
sudden fall off in a heartbeat?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Yeah, at least the way they looked.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Last night, If that's any indication of a team not
showing up the first half of a primetime game at home.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
That was just crazy. Maybe again all credit to like.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
DJ Moore and then the Bears and fields, but it
was it was tough to watch in the first half.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
You're a Washington fan, Yeah, it's a It looks like
it might be a long year there at r f
K Stadium for sure, So hopefully they can get.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
It together there, are they?
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yeah? I just think I mean, look, I'm just going
to continue.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
To John Riggins is rolling over in his grace.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
And I'm going to keep calling it RFK Stadium.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Are they trying to build a new stadium at that
spot or something? I think is that there's that always
you joking about it?
Speaker 4 (14:54):
No, I mean that's been for years though I don't
I don't know if it's gone through now that they
got a new ownership group, but they've been trying to
rebuild r o K or somewhere in the district for
for a while.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Well, I will say this, we do have a little
bit of good news here on the show. I know
that there might be a Commander's fan who's really depressed
right now after what happened last night, But don't worry
about it because it's a football Friday.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
That is true.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
You bet you're asked to put you know what, that's true.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Yeah, come on, come on, it's fat, it's fad.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
We didn't get.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yeah, no tanking out of beers, no tanking. Come he's
ready to do it, SAMs. Right, Yeah, come on, come on,
Friday Friday football. I'm not gonna know that kill that
killed that why because we got to do it. You know,
I know you hate the old.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Was just like there's nothing like this one. All right,
come on, yeah, football Faday, Come on, justin fields.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
It is a football Friday here on two Pros and
a Cup of Joe on Fox Sports Radio. So of
course you know we're going to be talking nothing but
football here on the program. It's going to be a
three hour extravaganza with the usuals like in case you
missed it. We're also going to have our picks against
the spread. We're going to spread them an hour two.
We've got you into you out. Coming up in our
(16:28):
three of the program are we're doing Quinn's wins today
as well too. We got those lineup big time wins
wins as well. Coming up. As we look at the
college football at hour two. It's all yours here from
the ti Raq dot Com studios. But coming up next,
we do have somebody that all of a sudden is
happy to be where they are after a lot of
(16:50):
contention in the off season. You'll hear from them next
here on FSR.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar and Jonas
Knox weekdays at six am Eastern, three am Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe Fox Sports Radio,
LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here. Coming
up in about twenty minutes from now from the tire
rack dot Com studios. Somebody in the world of sports
stole an idea from a member of this show. We'll
explain why that is again, coming up twenty minutes from
(17:29):
now here on FSR. So listen. We were waiting to
see whether or not Jim Mersey's buddy Jonathan Taylor was
going to show back up in Indianapolis ready to go,
and apparently that is the case. Jonathan Taylor is back.
He was back at practice. He actually spoke with the
media yesterday, not only about his health, but also about
(17:50):
his commitment and about the future.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
Feels really good to finally be healthy. I mean, number one,
the whole time, the main goal was to be healthy throughout.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
This whole time.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
Lot of things said than done, but at the end
of the day, the number one overall goal for everybody
was for me to get healthy. I don't think it
matters on if I'm saying I'm committed or not, because
I'm here. I mean, if somebody wasn't committed, they wouldn't
be here. I'm here right now, and my number one
thing is to take care of my teammates. A lot
of people worry about what I want. What I want
doesn't matter what necessarily I want. What matters is what
(18:23):
this team needs, with this team wants, with this city wants.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
So there's JT back in Indianapolis, possibly playing this weekend,
and all of a sudden, a pivotal matchup in the
South against Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Yes, I mean, he sounds like he's playing.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Then, huh, seems like it, So.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
I mean, it's just it's odd it's taken such a
I guess a turn and I know, you know supposedly
here saying Jonathan Taylor have spoken, so maybe they buried
the hatchet. I have no idea, but the look the
Colts could use them. There's there's no doubt Zach Voss
has been good in his place, but like they are
(19:00):
in a spot where I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
I mean, I look at him.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
I think anyone could win this division right now if
it does feel that wide open, if Anthony d Richard
Tin can stay healthy, and with how they've looked so
far offensively, like I give them every shot in that division,
and it's just it's and if he's a part of
that team and he could be the game breaker he's
kind of been for them. Yeah, like you said, they've
a good shot as anyone else. So it look the
(19:24):
league's better when good players like Jonathan Taylor are playing.
So I'm hoping this gets cleared up, either that he
plays this season or he gets somewhere else for his plan,
even if he's just kind of saying all the right
things right now, but regardless, it's gonna be good see
him back on the field.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
This is a competitive Colts team. I didn't think they
would be as competitive as they are, and their defense
look good and they look to have what they need
out of Richardson at the quarterback position. As you mentioned, Q,
major part is if he could stay on the field
and be healthy for them. But if I'm Jonathan Taylor,
(20:02):
this is something this, this is an opportunity for him
to build build value, continue to build value. Now what
that value ends up being, I think you cross that
bridge once you get there. And I think he said
that as much as in terms of what he wants,
like it doesn't matter at this moment. You know, what
matters is and and a lot of guys, a guy
(20:24):
like Jonathan Taylor, I don't think that's just tongue in cheek.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
I think he really means it when he.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Says it's it's about him caring for for his teammates,
like him being there for his teammates.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I think he truly believes that.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
You know, I think a lot of times you can
you can put aside the personal motivations and the personal goals,
you know, even even financially, and and put those things
aside and and do what you need to do as
a teammate. And and if he's able to come in
and be the positive contributor that I'm sure everybody is
(21:00):
anticipating him to be If he is healthy, he does
make this a better team. And if he makes it
a better team and a lot of the offense, you know,
can run through him. It takes pressure off of a
young quarterback and probably gives them a lot of confidence
in terms of what they can create balance wise on offense.
(21:20):
And it does seem like a doable task to be
able to win their division. I think it's very plausible
to think that the Colts could play out a level
you know where we're sitting there. Maybe I don't know,
maybe if it's as far as saying a head scratcher
that they're as good as they are, but they could
(21:41):
turn out to be a pretty impressive team moving forward
as we get deeper into the season.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Well, interesting, Jack Jacksonville has been disappointing. The Jaguars have
not been the team I think a lot of people
thought they've been. And they've got Buffalo this weekend and
they're an underdog in London. Like, so, yeah, the division's white.
And I also think to your point, I agree. I
think I buy what he said, Like, I don't think
that's just him blowing smoke and saying whatever. Is nice
(22:08):
to to play play this whole thing out and be like, Okay,
well I'll play nice. Just get me out of here
by the trade deadline later this month. But it just
it goes back to what we talked about in the
off season. Why would you want to screw this up
with a guy like that who would be so great
for the culture you're trying to change there with a
(22:28):
new regime and a new quarterback. Why would you wouldn't
you want more of those guys in the building. Everybody
loves the guy, and he's he's doing it the right way.
He's saying all the all the right things and he
means all of it. And unless his body is just
completely shelled and and he's nowhere close to the play, Yeah, like,
why would you want to screw that up with Jonathan Taylor?
(22:50):
That's the part that I've never understood with Jim Mersey's
approach of this whole thing. It's bizarre.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
I've never really understood a lot of the things Jimmers does.
But uh, you know, yeah, I'm not sure you guys
feel about him, but he seems to some interesting things,
you know.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
I Mean, he's the owner has lost, he's lost in
an AFC.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Championship game, and he's put up a banner for AFC finalists.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
So there's that. You won't find that anywhere else in
the NFL.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Well, he's showing off for all the Combine people, the
people that show up every year, like, hey, look we
got here. Look at this news.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
That's like one of those banners. When you look up
you see you're like, huh, that's different. I don't see
that anywhere else.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
I think the Sacramento Kings put a Summer league banner
up in their building.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Yeah, but did they win a Summer league championship?
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Yeah, Okay, He's like saying, like, hey, finalist. I mean
I remember looking at thinking myself, oh so oh they're
celebrating the fact they got there.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
All right, all right, that's uh, like I'm all for positivity,
all right.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Good vibes, positive vibes, let's go. But like that no
one else has done in the NFL. They're on an
island on that one.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Yeah. Well, listen, you know, you belly up to the bar,
you start scrolling through Amazon, you see something you could buy,
and you go and custom and customize a little banner
and put this up as just a participant. Why why
not fire it up there? You know, raise that bad boy? Now,
did they have a big ceremony for it? Like who
came out and raised the banner? Would it be like
a Jeff Saturday or like a good point?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Actually?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
I wonder too if you make a big deal about
it or if you just have, like go to a
couple of guys like, hey, look, I know there's only
two of you, but how we hung those other banners
up there?
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Because I got one. I want to hang in there.
I don't really want anyone to know. I just want
them to kind of come in and like see it.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
He's like, but I want to make a big deal
about it, but I want it also to be hanging
up there. So you two guys go over about eleven o'clock. Right,
no one should be in the building, No one should
be in local soil. You climb up there, and you
hang that AFC finalist flag and look, if anything happens,
all right, well it's on you. All right, If you
(25:06):
don't come back, it's on you. I need that band
or hung up there.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Okay, you imagine like you just like they rolled out,
it's a big presentation and he just says, hey, we
got a couple of legendary Colts players and outwalk Curtis
Painter and Ken Dilger, and they just raised that bad
boy up to the top everybody.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
So you're going the entire different direction here. Yeah, I'm
saying the exact opposite of that.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
I think if you're going to do this, there's got
to be pageantry, there's got to be a lot going on.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
It's already done.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
That's the problem is, like it's up there and you
never heard about it.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
It could have been just you're painting an unrealistic scenario,
but it.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Could have been just for employees, like just for employees
of the team, like a special who knows, but hey,
Jonathan Taylor's back, So congratulations in the Indianapolis Colts to
get another weapon. And then we get to see how
this plays out here because again the trade deadline is
later this month, so who knows. Maybe it's not for
long there, but seems like he's going to be there
(26:01):
for a little while. It is two pros and a
cup of Joe here on Fox Sports Radio. You know,
we are going to advocation mist coming up here shortly.
But one story that came out yesterday not long before
the game between the Bears and the Commanders. Was the
passing of the Great Dick Buckis eighty years old, passed
away at his home in Malibu. Just a legend on
(26:22):
and off the field. You hear nothing but good things
about it. He's also a pretty funny follow on Twitter.
He would always be a smartass, you know, even up
to very recently when he would go to games or
whether it be an Illinois game or watching the Bears play,
he always had that sense of humor. I mean, for
God's sakes, they named an award after him. Like some
legendary players have won the Butkus Award, guys like Chris Claiborne,
(26:46):
Andy Katzen, Moyer, E J. Henderson, I mean, Derek Johnson,
Patrick Willis, Rolando mcl von Miller. Like, am I missing anybody?
Mantai taow? Am I missing anybody that won that Awardan Smith,
Devin White, I.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Mean, Brian Bosworth, Oh God, Albert.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yeah, I think we got it pretty much covered. Brady.
Is there anybody else from missing anybody?
Speaker 3 (27:10):
I mean, I think it's incredible that he finished what
like sixth and I think third in back to back
years in the Heisman. I mean, it's tough to do
that as a defensive player. You know, he's I mean,
he was a hell of a college player. Obviously, a
Hall of Famer. I mean, how many guys are college
Hall of Famers and professional.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Hall of famers.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Yeah, it's just he's in rarefied air and he you know,
that was back during the glory day. It's not about
the Bears and their and their win like. That was
back during the glory days of the Bears when he
was there obviously, and what he was able to accomplish.
So tough loss, man, it always is when you when
you see like an all time great, but a guy who,
(27:49):
as you pointed out, you know, had a big personality too.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Yeah he was. He was awesome. And I am getting
some other reports here all LaVar, you won the Budkus
Award as well too in nineteen ninety nine. How about that.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
I am a Buckets Award winner.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
It's awesome. It's got to be cool.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
It's quite an honor, and it's it's it's not just
quite an honor now because of him his his passing,
but I mean it's quite an honor because you know
all the things that you heard Q say.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I mean, he's he's a.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Stud you know, and he was the gold standard and
still continues to be the gold standard. I mean, as
far removed as people may be from ever having seen
him play, I think the the way he played the
game has vibrated through through time.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
It's it's lasted the test of time.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
He's never become an irrelevant figure, you know, to what
football represents. I mean, if you were to have a
picture of you know, what what tough heart knows football
looks like, and it were to be personified in a player,
there'd be a couple of players that would come to mind,
and one of the first names that would always be
(29:03):
mentioned in those sentences would be Dick Buckets. So for me,
I know, as as as a former award winner and
someone who still represents you know, that award and what
it what it represents, I felt like I spoke for
us all when I put my message out that you know,
will continue to carry on his legacy. Every one of
(29:25):
us that that you know wins that trophy and represents
what what he has ultimately represented. I mean, it's a
it's you know, I felt a very very large amount
of pride, you know, being able to to say what
my relation, uh to to Dick was and and I
called him uncle uncle, you know, Uncle Dick. But meeting
(29:49):
him was you know, there were two guys. I'm not
a I'm not a starstruck type of guy, like nothing
really moves me. Like I met Michael Jordan and it
was like, oh, it's cool I met my Jordan. Or
met Mike Tyson. I met Mike Tyson. Oh that's cool.
I met some some pretty famous people. I was like, oh,
I met some famous people. But when I met Lawrence
Taylor for the first time, it was like my body
(30:13):
left my you know, my spirit left my body for
a second, Like it was like, whoa, is that really
Lawrence Taylor walking towards me right now? It was unexpected
when I met him, and I had an outer body
experience just because of how big of a fan I
am of Lawrence Taylor. But the other one was when
I went to the awards banquet for the Buckets and
(30:35):
met him for the first time, and it just it
was the same type of It was just a very
surreal moment in time. And I was able to meet
him a few more times after that, but the first
time was just one of the most earth moving experiences
for me, and it just made me feel like I mattered,
(30:57):
and it made me feel like I belonged and that
all the hard work.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Had paid off.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
And you know, everything that you did leading up to that,
just man, you get a moment where you get to
shake his hand and he's looking at you like you're
the best of me. You know, it's like I was
the greatest to ever do it at the college level.
You know, I'm one of the greatest to ever do
it at the pro level, and I'm representing that award
(31:25):
like he's talking to me like he's proud of me,
and you know, he set that standard. He set a
standard where actually, like I said, it stood the test
of time, where I think a lot of people, even
if you know, the younger versions, the younger generations of guys,
don't really know, you know, by seeing it. I think
his name still is one of those names. You know,
(31:48):
there are a few names, you know, lawrence on the
defense side of the ball, especially at the linebacker position,
there's a few names that jump out at you, you know,
and Dick Buckets is on that short list of guys,
and he definitely will be missed, but his presence will
always be felt because there's so many of us that
will always sing his praises and talk about what he
(32:10):
represented as a person, but you know also what he
represented as a player as well well.

De Lap Good morning everybody.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Good morning Jonas, Good morning Brady, Good morning LeVar.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Guys.
Speaker 7 (34:12):
In case he missed it, there was a stadium worker,
a beer and food vendor. That's that's right, guys. In
case he missed it, there was a stadium worker, a
beer and food vendor named Reggie Duval Sign Duval Saint, Hey, Brady,
Reggie Duval Saint, who has made a little bit of
(34:32):
a name for himself. He's had a put a quite
a goal out for himself trying to work all thirty
Major League Baseball parks as well as all the NFL
stadiums out there this season. He fell short of his goal.
He's hit twenty five of thirty MLB parks twenty nine
of thirty NFL stadiums. But he also went viral just
the other day for serving forty five hundred dollars worth
(34:55):
of beer that was purchased for a section of the
film UH. Anonymous, anonymous fan bought forty five hundred dollars
worth of beer for everybody in the section.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
By the way, how about that the person who bought
the beers stealing my move from Dublin, Ireland. When I
bought the entire bar drinks that day for that Brady,
I bought the whole bar drinks. I put it on
my tab and they just stole my move.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Was cute? Who did that?
Speaker 1 (35:23):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (35:24):
I was to say Jonas hasn't bought anyone anything over
like probably two dollars because he's a big dollar store guy.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
But when the dollar store is actually more expensive than that,
he probably hasn't bought anything better than that. And I
don't know how long.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
I mean, like, what's wrong with the dollar tree of
the ninety nine cents?
Speaker 3 (35:39):
There's nothing wrong with the dollar tree. It's just nothing
costs a dollar.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Then are you trying like two or three bucks?
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Are you trying to say that it wasn't me that
bought the entire bar. Buskers around the drinks were out.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Yeah, the bar are called buskers where we were at
for two yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
No, you did not buy anyone anything there.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Act even the drinks that were bought for us that
were free, you didn't even.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Finish because I don't like handouts.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
Yeah, well, I don't know. I was a handout. It
was a gift. It was a nice gift.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
I said, ten dollars the bar passive. I was being serious?
Or what else have we got?
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Lee?
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Guys?
Speaker 7 (36:20):
After three seasons of not being in the league, RG
three was on with Dan Patrick revealed that he was
reached out to by an NFL team middle of August
about the possibility of signing with that team.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
After he didn't reveal the team.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Of course, christ same, what's the book of that hold? Like?
Did he did? He say? What? What it like? I
passed up on the offer?
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Or man, I wish I loved myself as much as
RG three loves himself. I wish I wish I had
that in me, like I would be a lot happier
in life. I just don't. Man, Oh, man, does he
love him some? RG three? Has this always been his thing?
Speaker 2 (36:59):
Lebar?
Speaker 1 (36:59):
You covered him to wash he did? Is this just
who he is?
Speaker 2 (37:01):
Oh? You won't put that on me? Yeah? Why not?
He's a confident dude. He's always he was always confident.
Just leave it at that.
Speaker 7 (37:12):
To answer your question, LeVar, he says he's enjoying his
role with the media.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
Okay, right, Hey, when's the book coming out? That's that's
all I want to know. When's the book coming out?
Speaker 1 (37:24):
By the way, if he actually did I think it's
only fair as many times we've busted balls. If his
book does come out, we should probably invite him on
to talk about it.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
I'd love to. Can I extend the invitation? Can I
be the one give it?
Speaker 3 (37:38):
He knows me so well and he has ever been
a tool bag before?
Speaker 4 (37:44):
What?
Speaker 3 (37:47):
I want to meet him in person though, I really do,
because I've never met the guy.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
And it's like, I love when people talk like the
tough and you're like, what's me? In person? Love to
say hello, Wow, nobody.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
Saying yeah, I'm talking about Alie. We got time for
one more.
Speaker 7 (38:11):
Tyreek Hill got fined seven thousand dollars for not wearing
socks last weekend.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
I mean, who needs socks?
Speaker 3 (38:18):
Why are they finding people for that? It's the stupidest rule.
Their uniform rules are so dumb.
